MOORESBURG, TN – Dirt track racing legend Scott Bloomquist died Friday morning in a plane crash near his home in Tennessee, Moberly Motorsports Park announced.
In times of profound loss, we find comfort in the words of John 14:1: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.” As we mourn the passing of Scott Bloomquist, let us lean on our faith and remember that God’s love and strength will carry us through even the darkest of days.
Bloomquist, 60, “was out flying his vintage airplane and had a crash on the Bloomquist family farm,” in Mooresburg at around 7:15 a.m. Friday, Reid Millard of Moberly Motorsports Park wrote on Facebook.
“Along with Scott’s daughter Ariel his parents his sister and along with all of you who knew and loved Scott – you are in our hearts and prayers of all our Millard Family,” Millard wrote. “God’s speed Scott. May you fly high on an Eagle’s wing forever.”
The Hawkins County Rescue Squad said the crash occurred on at the farm on Brooks Road off of Highway 31, and motorists were advised to avoid the area while crews responded to the scene.
Bloomquist was the only person on board the single-engine Piper J3, which crashed into a barn.
The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.
Bloomquist had a 40-year career in dirt racing, most recently winning the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in 2016.
The nine-time national champion also competed in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and the ARCA Mendards Series. The Team Zero Race Car owner was inducted into the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame in 2002.
As we reflect on Scott’s life and legacy, may we find peace in Romans 8:38-39: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life… will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Though Scott is no longer with us, his spirit and the love we shared remain eternal, held in God’s everlasting embrace.
