First Look at Entry List for 58th Annual Snowball Derby

With a little more than a month until the 58th Annual Snowball Derby, Five Flags Speedway officials have released their early entry list for the event.

The first look at the Snowball Derby entry list boasts 52 cars entered for the event on December 4-7, 2025 at Five Flags Speedway.

Headlining the entries are a trio of NASCAR Cup Series drivers, Erik Jones, Ryan Preece and Noah Gragson. Jones is a two-time winner of the event and the most recent driver to win the event in consecutive years, a feat he accomplished in 2012 and 2013. Gragson won the event in 2018, and will be returning to the evnet for the fourth straight year.

Preece has competed three times in the Snowball Derby, including a fourth-place finish in 2021.

Three other former Snowball Derby winners join Jones and Gragson on the initial entry list. Last year's winner, Kaden Honeycutt, will return to defend his Snowball Derby crown. Two-time Derby winner Ty Majeski and 2022 victor Derek Thorn are also entered for the Snowball Derby.

For the rest of the field, they will be looking to lift the Tom Dawson Trophy for the first time. Most notably, Bubba Pollard is making his 20th attempt in the crown jewel event, still seeking his first win.

Last year, Stephen Nasse charged from 30th to second in the Snowball Derby, and hopes to improve by one spot in 2025. Cole Butcher has won the last two Sunshine State 200s at Five Flags, as well as this year's Deep South Cranes Blizzard Series championship. Jake Finch won the Allen Turner Pro Late Model Series title, and will also try his hand at the Snowball Derby.
