Inclement Weather Shakes Up Snowball Derby Weekend Schedule

With rain washing out on-track activity for the 58th Annual Snowball Derby on Thursday at Five Flags Speedway, a revised Friday schedule has been announced by track officials.

The revised schedule includes two rounds of practice for Snowball Derby competitors before their qualifying session on Friday. The updated schedule also includes the Snowball Derby Last Chance Qualifier originally scheduled for Saturday, December 6.

Thursday's originally scheduled feature races for Pro Trucks, Sportsman and Pure Stocks will follow the Snowball Derby Last Chance Qualifier on Friday's racing program.

The Modifieds of Mayhem Tour was originally slated to contest its 75-lap feature on Friday evening in its own Derby tradition. That event was previously rescheduled to Monday, December 8 to accommodate Modified teams traveling to Pensacola, Florida. The Crown Stock Invitational will also be contested on Monday as a support race to the Modifieds of Mayhem Snowball Derby 75.

Practice is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. CT for Snowball Derby teams, and 2 p.m. CT for local divisions.

The updated Friday schedule can be viewed below.

Late Model teams parked haulers, underwent preliminary technical inspection and drew for their qualifying order on Wednesday. Max Reaves will be the first driver on track during Snowball Derby qualifying.
