Majeski wins the Snowball Derby

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Ty Majeski held off Derek Thorn to win Sunday’s 300-lap super late model stock car race held annually at the Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida.  This was Majeski’s first Snowball Derby title in seven attempts.

“I can’t even describe this feeling.  Man, this is so cool” said Majeski in victory lane.

2020 NASCAR Cup Series Champion Chase Elliott had to come through the Last Chance qualifying race to make the event.  Elliott a two-time Derby winner (2011, 2015) finished third.

“Fortunately, we had a really good race and a clean race, too,” Elliott said. “We got the car a little better this morning, but I still think we can improve. It was not the Saturday we were wanting to have. But at the same time, I haven’t raced (Super Late Models) in a long time.”

NASCAR Cup Series Champion and 2009, 2017 race winner Kyle Busch finished in seventh.

Other NASCAR series drivers in the top-10 were Chandler Smith in fourth, and Grant Enfinger in eighth place.  NASCAR Camping World Truck Series rookie Derek Kraus finished 15th.
