Two racetracks will host celebration of life services for Hall of Fame driver Scott Bloomquist, who died Friday morning in an airplane crash on the family farm in Mooresburg, Tenn.
Eldora Speedway, the Rossburg, Ohio, track where the 60-year-old Bloomquist had some of his greatest successes including an unprecedented eight $100,000 Dream victories and four World 100 triumphs, will host its service on Sept. 7 ahead of the World 100 racing program.
Additionally, Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tenn., Bloomquist’s de facto home track, will host a service at 7 p.m. Sept. 12.
Scott Dean Bloomquist is survived by his daughter, Ariel, and his parents, Ron and Georgie Bloomquist. A complete obituary will appear when more details are finalized. Arrangements are by Houser-Millard Funeral Directors of Jefferson City, Mo., operated by Bloomquist’s friend and racer Reid Millard. Online condolences may be left at millardfamilychapels.com.
