Breaking: Scott Bloomquist Family Donates $2 Million to Edora Speedway
In a major development for the dirt track racing community, the family of legendary racer Scott Bloomquist has made a landmark $2 million donation to Edora Speedway. The contribution, spearheaded by Bloomquist’s wife, Katrina Rouse Bloomquist, underscores the family’s deep commitment to the future of grassroots motorsports.
The donation will support a comprehensive revitalization project at Edora Speedway, one of the region’s most historic dirt tracks. Plans include modernizing spectator facilities, upgrading safety infrastructure, and expanding youth development programs aimed at cultivating the next generation of racers. The initiative is expected to transform Edora Speedway into a premier destination for regional and national events.
“Our family has always believed in giving back to the racing community that has given us so much,” said Katrina Rouse Bloomquist. “This track is more than just a place to race — it’s where dreams begin. We want to ensure young drivers have every opportunity to chase those dreams in a safe and supportive environment.”
Scott Bloomquist, a Hall of Fame driver with a career spanning over four decades, has long been a towering figure in dirt late model racing. Known for his innovation, fierce competitiveness, and unmistakable black No. 0 car, Bloomquist’s legacy continues to inspire fans and drivers alike.
The Speedway’s board of directors expressed immense gratitude for the donation, calling it “transformational.” Groundbreaking on the renovation project is expected later this year, with completion targeted for the 2026 racing season.
With this bold move, the Bloomquist family cements its role not only in racing history but in shaping the sport’s future. Their generosity promises to fuel new talent and keep the roar of engines alive for generations to come.
