Another fast Fort Dodge, Iowa native. I have a cool little die cast of his dirt late model somewhere. 
RIP

Unbelievable talent and the definition of a larger than life personality. I’ve been a fan of his since I was a little kid in the early 2000s and got to watch him and his crew bust ass to get the car back into a B Main at East Bay in 2014 and saw the legendary Bloomquist/Hubbard scrap there, along with many other kick ass winter national performances. Not too mention his mechanical engineering abilities and a mind that works like no one else. A true superhero of mine, they broke the mold when they made Scott.

^^^

Looks likes the RF camber is 54 Deg out?

Need an adjustment. come in next lap . "We are going to fix that RF and take that Chrome Bumper off to give you more strait away speed . 

Just kidding, You don't know me enough to realize how much I am connected to NASCAR. Mostly with ARCA. 

That I am kidding with you.

Good Day, SIR

Out?  The correct term would be 54° positive.     😘

I actually ran that car 5° negative on RF and 5° positive on LF.    The lower control arm failed on a heavy track,, when it folded it bit into the track (the entire wheel got packed full of clay in that nano second) and spun me around180° and I was pointing directly into oncoming cars.  Thats how the front hammered,, was a sitting duck.  Good times.

That dude was/is the definition of a badass mofo.

Saw him kick ass at EAMS outside Phenix City, AL.

Y’all need to check out his appearance with Dale Jr. on his show … fucking epic.

RIP sir
