In a heartfelt interview with Toney Stewart, CEO of Edora, Ariel Rouse Bloomquist opened up about the difficulties her father faced during the early days of Scott Bloomquist’s racing career. She revealed that many people were not supportive of her father’s decision to back Scott, largely due to the latter’s reputation for being “full of brits”—a term that referred to Scott’s outspoken, bold personality that often rubbed people the wrong way.
“People didn’t understand my father’s support for Scott. They thought he was too brash, too controversial,” Ariel explained. “Scott was always unapologetically himself, and that didn’t always sit well with the traditionalists.”
Despite the skepticism surrounding her father’s decisions, Ariel emphasized how his unwavering belief in Scott’s potential was a key factor in their eventual success. “My father saw something in Scott that others didn’t. He knew that talent and drive could overcome the negative perceptions,” Ariel shared.
In the interview, Ariel expressed her gratitude for those like Toney Stewart and Edora, who believed in Scott when others were hesitant. It’s clear that, through the challenges, the Bloomquists’ resilience and vision paved the way for success in the racing world.
