SARVER, PA – June 30, 2012 – Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, Tenn., was flawless from start-to-finish en route to registering his second career victory in the Firecracker 100 Presented by GottaRace.com on Saturday night at Lernerville Speedway.
The 48-year-old dirt Late Model legend overtook teenager Tyler Reddick of DuQuoin, Ill., for the lead on lap two and never looked back. He gracefully handled the race’s two restarts and outlasted the late-charging Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., to become the second two-time winner of the six-year-old World of Outlaws Late Model Series event.
Bloomquist crossed the finish line 1.582 seconds ahead of Lanigan, who appeared primed to mount a dramatic bid for victory until he slipped over the four-tenths-mile oval’s cushion between turns one and two on lap 98. Lanigan lost precious ground to Bloomquist and didn’t have enough time to recover, leaving him a runner-up in the Firecracker 100 for the fourth time in the last five years.
