I suffer from a chronic back injury myself. I also held my mother as she passed from cancer. I can certainly understand if this fellow chose to punch his own ticket, and if so, i respect the fact he harmed no one else on the way out. RIP.

His plane. His barn. His life. I can respect that.

Scott had a recent crash during a heat race at Eldora in Rossburg, Ohio. I knew Bloomer personally. He had his own rule book in every facet of his life.

Juan, thank you for talking about your prostate cancer. I too am a prostate cancer survivor—coming up on 6 years after my radical prostatectomy. Men need to talk about this more and not die unnecessarily.

I didn’t know about your health challenges, Juan. So glad you’re doing well. My dad also died of cancer, slowly, and I’m at the age where I have to start being vigilant.

Sad story. The bright spot is you survived prostate cancer !! I am a colon cancer survivor. Recently in the ICU the hospital staff was saying they were surprised I was still alive after 19 years.😀😊
Get your COLONOSCOPY. If I had not I would’ve died in 2006. Still here at 75.

“…with his boots on”. Yes, he did. My heart goes out to his family and friends who loved him dearly. Thanks-as others have said-for a typically sober, respectful and compassionate report.

Respect to the man, lived life on his own terms, finished on his own terms.  Peace be with you brother.

As a Prostate Cancer survivor I greatly appreciate your willingness to discuss it on your channel.
Every man should know   their PSA number and not rely on Medical Staff to monitor it for you.
I also treated my Prostate Cancer very aggressively and 4 years post treatment have great PSA numbers.

Oct 15, 2020, l was told l had prostate cancer and had 2 months to live.  Fortunately, the cancer doc did not like the way the urologist was handling things, so had me go to another urologist.  New doc recommended surgery as soon as possible.  Had robotic surgery, no pain from the surgery.  Doc also recommended radiation which l had nine weeks of.  Only side effect was extreme tiredness about an hour following the treatments.  Since Feb 4, 2021, day of surgery, PSA has been 0.0.

That video of Scott racing for third place with 5 laps to go, suffering damage to the left front suspension that left the wheel assembly dangling and useless, then taking the restart in fourth place racing up to third, then second and going into turn 4 taking the lead for the win was and is amazing driving.
That is who he was.
Makes no sense how he pulled off that win except that he was Scott Bloomquist.
Greatest of All Time American Dirt Racing Legend!

Thank you Juan for the respect you gave Scott in this video.  I watched his interview with Dale jr from last year and also Kenny Wallace’s reaction. I believe they would appreciate your analysis and sensitivity to his passing.

Wow, I can't believe it's been 4 years. Time flies by. PTL! Glad your still with us, Juan.

Scott was an absolute legend in dirt track racing. Rest easy!

My ex wife was friends with Scott and I had been around him numerous times. As a pilot myself I hate to hear he passed in this matter but Scott chose his own exit. Can't blame him for that.

This is so sadly reminiscent of the late short track and NASCAR racer Dick Trickle taking his own life due to intractable pain

Everyone has their own life to deal with.  Colon cancer in 1996, Kidney Cancer in 2021 - both were caught and treated early enough that I am still here today.  Went to mh 60th HS reunion last weekend.

He seemed suicidal for the past year or so. Many of my family are deeply involved with dirt racing - from engine builders to various styles of racing. A high school friend's dad died from aggressive prostate cancer. The Moore Building at Sacramento Kaiser South was named after him as he was a lead doctor at the facility.

Just finished 28 radiation treatments for prostate cancer.  12 years ago I was diagnosed and then a decade of surveillance. I flew GA for 24 years SEL and SES, instrument rating. Thank you Juan for your videos and good thoughts about prostate cancer.

It is difficult to describe the impact of Scott’s death on the racing community. Scott was the Dale Earnhardt of dirt late model racing and his death has hit the racing community with similar effect. He was one of one. Tony Stewart called him the smartest guy he had ever met.  If he did take his own life he is the only one who will ever know. Age,infirmity, loss of income,loss of the adrenaline of competition, nothing to look forward to. I can definitely see someone like Scott die with his boots on. He marched to the beat of his own drum. We can only be so lucky.
