Duel in the Desert Podcast

In Episode 16 of the Duel in the Desert Podcast, we get down and dirty with the one and only Scott Bloomquist, driver of the No. 0 Super Late Model.

Bloomquist needs no introduction, but he introduces us to some never-before-heard stories, including one about his wildest time in Las Vegas. The legend opens up about how much his fans mean to him, why he never raced in NASCAR, what it's like to race – and party – in Sin City and his philosophy behind the Bloomquist brand. You absolutely won't believe these stores... or maybe you will.
