December 2, 2018 by Shane Walters

Less than 24 hours ago, the track was underwater; Now, they’re going racing

The Snowball Derby is hosted at 5 Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida. The track saw a torrential downpour on Saturday. Due to the rain the Snowflake 100 has been postponed until next Saturday.

It was more than a little participation. Eight and a half inches of race fell on the speedway in a hurry. In addition, there was a tornado watch mixed with lightning. A corner was completely underwater.

Track crews went to work removing the water from the complex. Now, despite flooding just 16 hours ago, they’re going racing today.

The track is nearly dry and the Snowball Derby is set to resume. The 300-lap main event is scheduled to begin at 2:00pm.
