Bloomquist Earns 500th Career Win with Power from Roush Yates Engines

Mooresville, NC (September 27, 2010) Scott Bloomquist drove his Roush Yates powered Dirt Late Model engine to Victory Lane at Brownstown Speedway on Saturday night, capturing the 500th feature win of his career. Bloomquist took home $20,000 for his third win in the 31st Annual Jackson 100. This is the defending Lucas Oil Champion and current series point leader’s eighth win of the season.

“I have to thank so many people for getting 500 wins,” said the 46-year-old driver. “My wife, daughter, and my mom are here so I’m glad they got to see this. To win number 500 at Brownstown is special; it has been one of my favorite tracks to run on in my career. The car and engine ran great tonight and it feels amazing to accomplish 500 wins.”

Bloomquist started the 100-lap event in third and took the lead after only four laps. He kept fellow Roush Yates powered driver Don O’Neal from becoming the first four-time winner of the race and stretched his lead in the Lucas Oil Championship Point Standings to 260 points over Jimmy Owens. O’Neal went on to finish second, giving Roush Yates a 1-2 finish in the race. Bloomquist is sponsored by Miller Brothers Construction, Hawkeye Trucking, and Sweet Mfg. and runs his own self-designed chassis.

“Roush Yates Engines is proud to congratulate Scott Bloomquist on his 500th feature win,” said Doug Yates, CEO of Roush Yates Engines. “It’s an honor to provide power to such an accomplished driver. I look forward to watching Scott have continued success and race for his second straight Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Championship.”

The Roush Yates Ford 410 Dirt Late Model engine received its second win of the season thanks to World of Outlaw driver Josh Richards. Richards became the first Virginia native to win at Winchester Speedway in the annual Winchester 200. He took the lead on lap five of the fifty lap event and never looked back to claim the $10,000 prize.

Other Roush Yates wins came in the Sprint Car division this weekend. Charles Davis Jr. collected his sixth ASCS Canyon Region win of the year at Canyon Speedway Park on Saturday night running a Roush Yates Sprint 360 motor and Ryan Grubaugh captured the ASCS Points Championship in the Sprints on Dirt region.
