Bonus Inside! Blizzard’s Best Drivers For some reason over the last few years the car count in the Blizzard races seem to draw more cars for the first and last ones. Five Flags doesn’t expect any differ- ent tonite at the 5th and final Super Late Model race for 2009. After this Blizzard race, everyone will know who the champion will be and, most important to the drivers, who will be in the 42nd annual Snowball Derby. It is possible that any driver in the top ten in points could get in the Derby, if he or she doesn’t qualify for the race. The way this works is if the top 2 in Blizzard points qualify, we then move back to third and forth, and son on through the top ten. Example; Scott Carlson got in the Derby a few years ago by finishing seventh in points. This weekend will also crown a cham- pion at Mobile International Speedway, and a champion in the Sonoco Bo- nus Bucks. The top 10 are listed in- side and must race at both tracks. This includes Bubba Pollard from Georgia, Pensacola’s Johanna Long and 2 time Snowball winner Augie Grill. Each could walk away with all three crowns. We also expect a few drivers who will be making their first appearance at the track for a Blizzard race and the reason for this is simple. They want lap time to get tuned up for the “BIG ONE” in December. Also the Super Stocks, Sports- man and Bombers are running tonite. The championship in all three of these classes is yet to be decided and may go down to the wire on October 9th during the “Night of Champions” races.

Blizzard’s

Best Drivers

For some reason over the last few years the car count in the Blizzard races seem to draw more cars for the first and last ones. Five Flags doesn’t expect any differ-ent tonite at the 5th and final Super Late Model race for 2009. After this Blizzard race, everyone will know who the champion will be and, most important to the drivers, who will be in the 42nd annual Snowball Derby. It is possible that any driver in the top ten in points could get in the Derby, if he or she doesn’t qualify for the race. The way this works is if the top 2 in Blizzard points qualify, we then move back to third and forth, and son on through the top ten. Example; Scott Carlson got in the Derby a few years ago by finishing seventh in points. This weekend will also crown a cham-pion at Mobile International Speedway, and a champion in the Sonoco Bo-nus Bucks. The top 10 are listed in-side and must race at both tracks.

This includes Bubba Pollard from Georgia, Pensacola’s Johanna Long and 2 time Snowball winner Augie Grill. Each could walk away with all three crowns.

We also expect a few drivers who will be making their first appearance at the track for a Blizzard race and the reason for this is simple. They want lap time to get tuned up for the “BIG ONE” in December. Also the Super Stocks, Sports-man and Bombers are running tonite. The championship in all three of these classes is yet to be decided and may go down to the wire on October 9th during the “Night of Champions” races.
