I just heard they got rid of Lewis bloom...

If true....shocked!

Apparently the whole business decline contributed to his departure. NHRA trimming costs, no telling what “non-essential” salaries are next but I could sure give them some ideas. Losing Lewis is a big blow to all drag racing fans, hope he finds another venue to spread the gospel!

Blooms been around the sport for many decades and brings much to drag racing....stats, announcing, humor and much more. Reminds me of when Bob F. left....Yeah, I got some ideas of "others' that could have gone before he did.

It's amazing they get rid of all the great guys

Bummer. Great guy.

WOW!

Lewis has forgotten more than most will ever know about drag racing.
Was an incredible announcer also.
What a great guy.
Going to be missed.

When NHRA gets rid of guys like Lewis, you wonder who will be next??

Always loved the knowledge of Lewis. Whenever he talked, I learned something.

That's sad to hear. Louis was big back when I was growing up at Englishtown. He probably announced a lot of my losses.
