At long last, Derek Thorn is a Snowball Derby winner.

Thorn led more than 300 laps in the 55th Annual Snowball Derby presented by Hooters, which went into overtime after a flurry of late cautions. Nevertheless, Thorn held strong, holding off the likes of Sammy Smith and Stephen Nasse for the victory.

Thorn's victory comes after a pair of near-misses in the last two years. Thorn led 252 laps in 2020 before finishing second to Ty Majeski, and led 287 laps last year in the event before finishing second to Chandler Smith.

Thorn becomes the first Snowball Derby winner from the state of California. He is also the ninth driver to win their first Snowball Derby after finishing second in the event.
