Widely viewed as being a master car builder, an innovative mechanic and an uncompromising race car driver, ‘Bloomer’ accrued championships and high profile event wins for decades.

Lost at age 60, Scott Bloomquist’s legacy will endure. Having made hundreds of headlines throughout his 40 years of racing, Scott Bloomquist has now, in death, made News one last time.
