Thought I would a thread for the Snowball Derby this year. SPEED51 should have multiple forms of coverage of the racing this weekend (including live updates, PPV video etc.). Unsure if they will have a free live radio stream like years past though

A few cars got torn up in practice today.

I saw that Harrison Burton's team pulled an all-nighter and got the car repaired and they are back at the track for practice today.

That's incredible. The couple pictures I saw of the wreckage left me with the impression that the car was deadmeat for good, let alone the weekend.

Apparently both Chris Bell and JHN had their times disallowed after failing tech.

Nemechek will start 37th via defending winner provisional. Ty will now be the pole sitter.

There was a red flag for someone having a seizure in the infield and so that the windshields could be cleaned because the drivers couldn't see.

Christopher Bell has been disqualified for being .3% above the maximum left side weight percentage (58.0%)

Chase Elliott is now the unofficial winner

It's kind of ironic that Chase Elliott was DQ'd after winning 2 years ago to possibly winning one because of a DQ.
