Great Hire! Congratulations Levi and well done Eldora. I’d be remiss if I didn’t wish he replaced Kevin Miller and then fired Spridge. Oh well. Someday maybe.

Maybe we will get standalone USAC sprint races again.

After watching the last night and tonight over there, I just hope he lets Levi get a tractor with a disc and a bigger water truck

Congrats to Levi. That's a big-time job promoting Eldora.

Flag, you're right. Let's hope Levi can help the track crew. Even Tony was overseeing track prep last night.

I went to Eldora last night. Thoroughly disappointed when the track rubbered up. Plus, the aero sensitive dirt late model bodies provide so much dirty air it's next to impossible to pass. Including tonight, the last four late model features at Eldora have had ONE leader. Dream, Baltes Classic, FLO Night, and tonight's World 100 prelim night all have had one leader. I've was at two of those shows. I'm passing on Sat night.

Just my personal opinion but I like that Tony has more of his focus on Eldora and not NASCAR. Congratulations Levi :32:

yea I feel track has neutered for far too long, races wing and LM are typically snoozers. Bring on some water a curb, might as well be asphalt the way it is now.

Well if I'm gonna complain, I'm gonna man up and praise, too. Kudos to Eldora for their track prep for the World 100 weekend. They went back to work and spent long hours tilling and watering the surface for the late model weekend. It was an incredible recovery from Wednesday night. Nice job Tony and team. The track and fans were rewarded with the largest crowd in Eldora history for the World 100. Also, much praise to the Eldora staff and FLO teams for their Scott Bloomquist Celebration of Life ceremony on Saturday. Very touching and moving tribute supported by over 5,000 fans. Tony even drove one of the Bloomquist tribute cars during the W100 pace laps. Seems only fitting. Now, on to the 4-Crown Nationals. 🏁

It was a great race. Congrats to Bobby Pierce....he earned it. How about that $116,000 50/50? Would be nice to take that home.

That's a lot of Double Bubble!

This was a great and sad race weekend.

The Scott Bloomquist memorial service was very touching and sad. He will undoubtedly go down as absolute goat of dirt late model racing. The Heat races and Prelim nights were pretty good & World 100 itself was a darn good race and competitive between 4 driver and 8 lead changes. For sentimental purposes I was rooting for Dale McDowell to win driving a Team Zero car. As a fan and a diehard Scott Bloomquist fan I'm not ashamed to say I cried yesterday at the service for Scott as may people around me did as well. Scott was an absolute legend & genius behind the wheel of a race car and the 2014 World 100 is the only evidence you need to know how damn good he was in the driver seat. I'm going to miss the #0 car not unloading at a race track. P.S. He was a damn good father to his daughter Ariel as well. as well! The tributes to him and his family were awesome to see each day. To see the 2 Bloomquist cars pacing the front of the World 100 on the pace laps was darn cool to see. The Black and Green car was a 2-seater and Ariel was in the passenger seat of that car & the Black, Blue, & White car was being driven by Tony Stewart. Both cars were side by side during those laps. To see the #18 car do a fast lap around there one more time was as good as it will ever get. Thanks to Tony and the staff there that made the race weekend great.

I have a bunch of pictures from the weekend. Maybe in the next few days I'll share some of the Bloomquist memorial service pictures here.

Nothing but respect for him. The man did it his way!

Scott's favorite band was Shinedown. If you've never heard of them, take a minute and look them up. Their good.

ALSO my first race at Eldora was in the Fall of 1987 and I have never in my life see so many people there as I did yesterday period. That crowd was insane. The Flo Racing streaming just doesn't do it justice.

I have 13 pictures I'm going to share with you guys. I hope you all enjoy as much as I do. I can only do 4 pictures per post so this will be a few posts of pictures here and that will be it. Flo Racing streamed the Memorial service for FREE for those that couldn't be there.

Thank-you for sharing all of that! (The Bloomquist stuff).

What a dream job. Does it pay anything? Most would do it for free with a couple benefits. Let me live on grounds and promote the races and would be good. Basically he is getting paid to what Earl did? What does Tony say to him? Don't F it up. It already has the big races. How do you make it better? Make a non wing nationals weekend?

Re: Levi Jones new GM at Eldora
 

Dream job? I guess if you handle maximum stress well.

Was his ex-wife in attendance?

Re: Levi Jones new GM at Eldora
 

Once they're an ex-wife, why would you even want them there?

Support the child they had….

Exactly. Support of their daughter was most important.

Re: Levi Jones new GM at Eldora
 

Yes Katrina was there! She might have been his ex but they co-parent pretty well from what I’ve seen.
