Scott Bloomquist’s Secret Prototype Car Found—Underground Build Hints at ‘Outlaw Return’ Plan Before Passing
In a discovery that’s already sending shockwaves through the dirt racing world, a previously unknown prototype car—designed and partially built by the late Scott Bloomquist—has been uncovered in a private Tennessee workshop. Hidden beneath tarps and dust, the car was reportedly intended as Bloomquist’s “ultimate outlaw comeback weapon,” according to a close associate who asked to remain anonymous.
The prototype, nicknamed “Phantom Edge” in notes found alongside it, appears to incorporate radical chassis angles, a custom suspension system, and weight distribution features never before seen in the sport. Insiders claim the design was years ahead of its time—and possibly in violation of existing dirt late model rules.
Even more shocking? Handwritten sketches and a video file suggest Bloomquist was planning a surprise return to the national stage, potentially in an unsanctioned outlaw tour of his own making. The video, said to feature Bloomquist speaking candidly about the “next level of war on the track,” has yet to be released to the public but is reportedly being reviewed by members of his former team and family.
Fans, already emotional over the legacy of the Dirt Track Dominator, are now ablaze with speculation. Could Bloomquist have been plotting one final seismic shake-up? Was Phantom Edge his last message to the sport he helped define?
“Scott never did anything halfway,” one longtime rival stated. “If he had something brewing in secret, you better believe it was going to blow the doors off the sport.”
As word spreads, tributes are turning into tributes mixed with awe—and a dash of mystery. There’s even buzz about displaying the car at Eldora or Knoxville later this season, possibly with a ceremonial lap or tribute race in his honor.
One thing’s for certain: just when the dirt settled, Bloomquist found a way to stir it up again.
