Lengthy Technical Inspection, but no Major Issues for Contenders at the Snowball Derby

Lengthy Technical Inspection, but No Major Issues for Contenders

(December 2, 2015 - Pensacola, FL) - Close to 120 Super Late Models and Pro Late Models went through technical inspection for the 48th Annual Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway on Wednesday afternoon.

Some, like defending winner John Hunter Nemechek, had to go through more than once while others missed the five o’clock cutoff, but most of the favorites had no major issues.

“It actually went pretty smooth, just minor nitpick stuff,” Nemechek told Speed51.com powered by JEGS.  “There wasn’t too much that we had to change.  We brought a new car here so it’s new stuff.”

Bubba Pollard, a pre-race favorite heading into the weekend, is still searching for his first Snowball Derby victory, and was positive with the entire experience as well.

“Ricky’s done a great job at getting all the cars equal and everybody knows what he expects,” Pollard applauded.  “When everybody is prepared it makes things a lot easier.”
