Breaking: First Eldora Speedway Driver To Enter Hall of Fame and Have Full Documentary on Netflix – Scott Bloomquist Makes the Difference After His Legendary Career

Eldora, OH – In a historic moment for dirt racing, legendary driver Scott Bloomquist has become the first Eldora Speedway competitor to be inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame while also being the subject of a full-length Netflix documentary, set to premiere later this year. The news broke this morning and has sent waves of excitement through the racing community and beyond.

Bloomquist, known for his black No. 0 car and his almost mythic status in dirt late model racing, has long been considered one of the most influential and polarizing figures in motorsports. His induction into the Hall of Fame not only cements his legacy but also marks a new chapter in how the sport is represented on the global stage.

A Career That Redefined Dirt Racing

Scott Bloomquist’s journey through the ranks of dirt late model racing is nothing short of iconic. With over 600 career wins, multiple World 100 titles, Dream victories, and a slew of national series championships, Bloomquist’s resume stands alone. His success at Eldora Speedway, often referred to as the “Mecca of Dirt Racing,” helped elevate the track’s prestige and redefine what it means to be a dirt track legend.

Fans and competitors alike remember his calculated aggression on the track, his unconventional off-track persona, and his relentless pursuit of perfection. Whether you loved him or rooted against him, Bloomquist always demanded attention.

The Netflix Effect

In a move that signals dirt racing’s expanding appeal, Netflix has announced an exclusive, in-depth documentary titled “Zero: The Scott Bloomquist Story,” chronicling his controversial rise, career-defining moments, personal battles, and lasting impact on the sport. The documentary is expected to feature behind-the-scenes footage, interviews with rivals and teammates, and rare glimpses into Bloomquist’s private life.

Executive producer Kevin Page, who also worked on hit sports documentaries like Drive to Survive and The Last Dance, said the Bloomquist project is “the most raw and unapologetic story we’ve told.”

“This isn’t just about racing,” Page said. “It’s about obsession, rebellion, redemption — and the cost of greatness. Scott’s story had to be told.”

The documentary is scheduled to premiere on August 15, 2025, aligning with the buildup to the World 100 at Eldora, where Bloomquist made some of his most unforgettable runs.

A Legacy Sealed

Bloomquist’s induction into the Hall of Fame and the upcoming Netflix feature serve as dual tributes to a man who changed the sport from the inside out. Tony Stewart, current owner of Eldora Speedway and fellow racing icon, praised Bloomquist’s lasting influence.

“Scott didn’t just race — he created a persona that pushed the sport into new territory,” Stewart said. “His approach to racing, from the technology he used to how he interacted with fans and haters, changed everything.”

Social media exploded with reactions after the announcement, with hashtags like #BloomquistHOF and #ZeroNetflix trending within hours. Fans posted old photos, shared stories, and even speculated about whether the documentary would delve into some of the more controversial moments of his career — including legal troubles, injuries, and rivalries.

What’s Next?

While Bloomquist has stepped back from full-time racing due to health concerns, his presence in the sport remains strong through his chassis-building business and mentorship of young drivers. With this Hall of Fame induction and Netflix deal, it’s clear that Scott Bloomquist’s influence isn’t going away any time soon.

For now, the dirt racing world celebrates a milestone — not just for Bloomquist, but for every racer who’s ever dreamed of Eldora glory. And come August, the world will be watching as Netflix tells the story of the man behind the myth.
