Snowball Derby 2025 postponed to Monday

PENSACOLA, Fla. — The Snowball Derby 300-lap late model race has been postponed to Monday due to inclement weather at Five Flags Speedway.

The premier super late model race will go green Monday at around 2 p.m. ET in Pensacola, Florida. All of the support division races will go green Tuesday, starting at 5 p.m. ET

The race was set to go green Sunday at 2 p.m. ET but a rain delay meant engines didn’t fire until four hours later. Then, the drivers did a couple of pace laps and came back to pit road due to fog.

Now on to Monday, the Snowball Derby is hoping to not go five for five. For four consecutive days, rain hampered on-track activities and condensed qualifying down to qualifying and the last-chance qualifier back-to-back at a breakneck speed before the Snowflake 125 that ended in the early Sunday morning hours.
