In four of the last ten Snowball Derby events at Five Flags Speedway, the first car to the checkered flag was found with post-race inspection violations. For some fans and drivers a 40 percent rate is alarming and cause for concern.  But for others the focus is on appreciating the consistency and fairness of the inspection process that rewards those towing the line within the rules as outlined for all drivers entering the event.

The Chief Inspector and Technical Director, Ricky Brooks has developed his reputation as a tough but fair to all official at Five Flags Speedway for the annual Snowball Derby event. His inspection area has become affectionately known as the ‘Room of Doom.’ Drivers say racing the Snowball Derby at the track in Pensacola, Florida is one of the most stressful experiences they face all season. But at the same time, they come from all parts of the country and beyond for the chance to compete against the best of the best in this prestigious race.  Continue reading →

The best Super Late-Model drivers in the country make the trek to the track in Pensacola, Florida each year in hopes of winning the most exciting, competitive and pressure-packed event of the season. And there was plenty of drama this weekend.

Last year’s Snowball Derby winner, John Hunter Nemechek was on a mission to sweep the weekend by winning both events – the Snowflake 100 and Snowball Derby. The first part of his plan fell into place when he won the Snowflake 100 on Saturday, but trouble in the late laps of the Snowball Derby ended his hopes when his car went up in flames. Two crew members had injuries, with one treated in the infield care center and the other sent to the hospital for further evaluation. Both were in good spirits according to NEMCO Motorsports.
