Here's why: After The Dream last June, one of Eldora’s huge late model races, tire samples from the five aforementioned racers were sent to an independent lab, which found that they had been chemically tampered with.

The five drivers were relieved of the money they won, about $50,000 total among the five, and suspended from all WRG races. They appealed to the three-member hearings board, and lost. Then they appealed to the World Racing Group Commission Chairman Potestas, longtime NASCAR executive John Darby, who upheld penalties issued by DIRTcar following Eldora Speedway’s Dirt Late Model Dream, but reduced the suspension period from months to 12 weeks, which ends September 13.

The lawsuit by Bloomquist and the others say the independent lab used to test the tires was incompetent. Furthermore, Bloomquist contends that he won the Dream in 2015, but he was found 21 pounds light at the scales after the race, and lost the win and $98,000 in prize money. He contends the scales were faulty. Stewart’s track manager at Eldora, Roger Slack, says the suit is “without merit.”

Bloomquist says his “reputation, as a sports celebrity, has been damaged, which impacts his ability to market himself to fans and potential sponsors.”
