Five Flags Speedway has unveiled its 2026 season schedule, promising another exciting year of racing at the famed half-mile in Pensacola, Florida on the Road to the 58th Annual Snowball Derby.
The 2026 season begins with Sunshine State 200 weekend on March 13-14, bringing the ASA STARS National Tour to Five Flags Speedway. Outlaws, Crown Stocks, and Legacy divisions will race on Friday, March 13, with the Super Late Models taking center stage on Saturday, March 14.
The Sunshine State 200 also serves as the first round of Five Flags' Deep South Cranes Blizzard Series. The Blizzard Series returns for a doubleheader on June 12-13 before crowning the Super Late Model track champion on September 26.
Five Flags' regular season kicks off on March 27, with Outlaws, Pro Trucks, Street Stocks, Pure Stocks and Crown Stocks in action.
The first event in the four-race Race for the Million series for winged pavement Sprint Cars takes place at Five Flags on April 10. This will be the first of two Sprint Car events at Five Flags in 2026, with the Must See Racing 410 National Sprint Cars returning on October 2.
Just as the Blizzard Series paves the Road to the Snowball Derby, the Allen Turner Pro Late Models take the Road to the Snowflake. That journey begins on April 24. The Allen Turner Pro Late Models will also compete on May 15, August 28 and September 26.
Fans can circle May 1 on their calendar as "Meet the Drivers" night, featuring Five Flags' local competitors. They'll return on May 29 for the Memorial Weekend Bash.
The Modifieds of Mayhem headline racing action on June 26 with their first of two visits to Five Flags Speedway. The tour returns for its non-points season finale during Snowball Derby weekend.
Outlaws, Pro Trucks, Pure Stocks, Crown Stocks and Legacy cars will hit the track on August 7 as part of Demo Derby Night at Five Flags Speedway. Outlaws, Pro Trucks, Street Stocks and Pure Stocks will crown their champions on Night of Champions #1 on September 12. The Crown Stocks join the Super Late Models and Pro Late Models on September 26.
This all sets the stage for the 58th Annual Snowball Derby, scheduled for December 3-6. The Snowball Derby Preview, which offers teams a final chance to test and "run for the money" ahead of the biggest event in pavement Super Late Model racing, takes place on November 20.
