Following on a similar note, Tony Stewart paid homage to the racing legend.

Scott Bloomquist was one of a kind, and he’s probably the smartest guy I’ve ever been around when it comes to dirt racing. What he could do behind the wheel of a racecar was matched by the ingenuity he put into building his racecars. He was a force on the track and off, with a personality as big as his list of accomplishments. He made dirt racing better with a presence that will be greatly missed. Tony Stewart wrote on X.

While both former Cup Series champions paid tribute to Bloomquist, Stewart explained the racing driver’s racecraft. The 53-year-old asserted that the fellow compatriot was a force to be reckoned with on track and his marks on dirt would never be washed away.

Former NASCAR driver claimed that Scott Bloomquist’s demise is similar to Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s

Dale Earnhardt Sr. is often regarded as one of the greatest drivers that the sport has ever been graced with. However, the seven-time Cup Series champion’s career was cut short as he died due to a hefty crash during a race weekend. This sent chills down the spine of fans worldwide and portrayed how drivers were putting their lives on the line to extract lap time.

Witnessing the similarity between the two legend’s passing and their impact on the motorsport world, Rick Mast recalled a statement made by Kyle Petty . Furthermore, he claimed that the dirt track racing world lost its cowboy like how NASCAR did two decades ago.

I’ll never forget what Kyle Petty said when we lost Dale Sr. “Dale Earnhardt was our Cowboy and Cowboys aren’t supposed to die.” This morning, dirt track racing lost their Cowboy. RIP Scott Bloomquist. Rick Mast wrote on X

While the motorsport world mourns the demise of Bloomquist, the dirt track racer would want the show to continue in his true racing spirit.
