- Snowball Derby
The Snowball Derby is a 300-lap super late model stock car automobile race held annually at the half-mile
Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola,Florida . The race has been contested every year since 1968 and is always run on the first weekend in December. The race has a reputation for attracting some of the bigger names in short track racing because it is run after most tracks and touring series have concluded their seasons. Due to the “all-star” nature of the race, the Snowball Derby is considered by many to be the most prestigious race in late model racing.List of Snowball Derby winners
