The win now lists Bloomquist as the only four-time winner of the USA 100, and it gave him his first career win with the ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series.
“I think we might have burned up a spark plug wire when we lost the cylinder, but the car was still fast, and those seven cylinders left gave all of the traction I needed,” Bloomquist said. “I didn’t realize I had never won a race with the ULTIMATE Series until tonight, so that’s something impressive.”
Earl Pearson, Jr. and Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, Georgia battled side-by-side on the last lap of the race for the second spot, and they made contact on the backstretch. That put McDowell into the guardrail. Pearson finished second and apologized to third place finishing McDowell after the race.
Rookie of the Year point leader Tyler Millwood of Cartersville, Georgia is also the new series point leader after a fourth place finish, with Kenny Moreland in fifth.
Russell Erwin, Chris Ferguson, Zack Dohm, Dale Hollidge and Rick Elliott rounded out the top ten.
Bloomquist toured the speedway in 16.671 seconds in qualifying to earn the Fast Time Award. Also winning eight-lap preliminary heat races were Pearson and McDowell.
Bloomquist took the lead at the drop of the green flag, but Ross Bailes spun in turn four to bring out the first of four caution flags. That necessitated a complete restart, and Bloomquist again took the lead followed by Pearson, McDowell, Ferguson and Greg Satterlee.
Ferguson passed McDowell for the third spot on lap two, while Bloomquist began to pull away from Pearson. His advantage was void when the caution flag came out on lap seven when Austin Hubbard stalled in turn four to bring out the caution. Bloomquist led Pearson, Ferguson, McDowell and Satterlee down for the restart.
Satterlee got by McDowell for the fourth spot on the restart, as the field raced under green flag conditions for one lap before Jackie Boggs spun in turn four to bring out the third caution flag. After the restart, McDowell reclaimed the fourth spot by passing Satterlee on lap ten.
Satterlee would race for six more laps before falling off the pace and parking his race car in the infield pit area. Jonathan Davenport lost a driveshaft from under his Barry Wright house car on lap 18 to bring out the final caution flag of the race. When the field went back to green flag action, Bloomquist opened up a half straightaway lead on Pearson, who had raced his way back up to second.
Coming by the front straightaway grandstands on lap 23, the note of the engine under the hood of Bloomquist’s race car went off song, but not only was he able to maintain his lead over Pearson, he opened it up even more. Not even lapped traffic would slow Bloomquist down.
In the last ten laps of the race, Bloomquist opened up a big lead over Pearson, who was beginning to feel the heat from McDowell. The second and third-place drivers battled side-by-side for the last to laps of the race, while Bloomquist took a 4.207 second margin of victory under the checkered flag.
