Add more fuel to the fire; Additionally penalty issued to Michael Page
Michael Page drove to victory lane in the Talladega Ice Bowl. The win came on January 8th at the Talladega Short Track in Alabama.
A week later, officials issued a 1-year suspension on the driver. The penalty noted a fight between a crew member and official on the infield.
That altercation stemmed from an on-track accident at the start of the event. Officials also noted rough driving.

Tire fails benchmark
Just two days after the suspension was issued, officials have circled back and added an additional penalty.
Per the series release, “The 2022 Ice Bowl winner Michael Page of Douglasville, GA has been disqualified as the winner of the event after a tire sample that was collected after the event’s completion last Saturday has failed to clear inspection of an independent lab test.”
“1600 right-rear tire and a 1350 right front tire. The 1600 passed the lab test, but the 1350 did not conform and meet the benchmark, therefore, Page has been disqualified from his Ice Bowl victory.”
Christian Hanger of Winchester, TN has been declared the winner of the 2022 Ice Bowl. The dirt late model race paid $5,000 to win.
