10 Things to Know: 2022 Blizzard Series at Five Flags

- You can’t mention Five Flags Speedway (FL) and not mention Bubba Pollard, who has 23 career Blizzard Series wins and at least one victory a year for 14 consecutive years. Pollard has also won the pole for Blizzard events 22 times.

- Of course, the Southern Super Series / Blizzard Series will have 100 lap races on both Friday and Saturday night, but the Friday card will also feature the Pro Trucks and Pure Stocks. Saturday will have the Outlaws and the Sportsman.

- The weekend will feature a rematch of the Snowball Derby as Derek Thorn will be in town from California looking to get a Blizzard win, while Chandler Smith will make his first trip back to Five Flags since his Snowball Derby win last December.

- 27 cars are on the pre-race entry list with several heavy hitters like Derek Thorn, Jake Garcia, Chandler Smith, Bubba Pollard, Stephen Nasse, Cole Butcher, Matt Craig and several others. We can imagine a few others will make the trip to Pensacola to push the entry list to 30.

- A lot of talk has been made about the dominance of Bubba Pollard at Five Flags Speedway (FL) in the Blizzard Series, but if you look at the track points championship it shows a different story. There have been four different champions in the Blizzard Series in the last four seasons.

- If you are looking for someone to give a little surprise, then maybe Kyle Plott is where you need to look. Plott has five top-five runs in the Blizzard Series in the last four years. Look for Plott to be in the mix on opening night.

- The doubleheader at Five Flags Speedway dates back into the 1980s. It would not be uncommon for the track to run on Sunday after the previous Friday was washed out. Five Flags had always been a doubleheader destination with Mobile International Speedway (AL) as well. It’s nice to see the tradition continue as drivers get two cracks at the Pensacola backdrop.
