Cale Gale; others set to race in Pensacola for Snowball Derby
Caught in the Catchfence™Cale Gale would like to find a way to Victory Lane at Five Flags Speedway to bring a happy ending to a lost racing season.
The Mobile driver is one of the NASCAR names racing this weekend at the Pensacola track. He’s entered in Saturday’s Allen Turner Snowflake 100 for pro late models and Sunday’s 42nd Snowball Derby, a 300-lap super late model race that pays $20,000 to the winner.
Among those entered in one or both races are Sprint Cup star and 2009 Nationwide Series champion Kyle Busch, Cup driver David Stremme, Nationwide drivers Steven Wallace and John Wes Townley, and James Buescher, Brian Ickler, Brian Scott, Ryan Sieg and Shane Sieg from NASCAR’s truck series.
Past winners of the Snowball Derby include such NASCAR notables as Wallace, Donnie Allison, Rich Bickle, Rick Crawford, Pete Hamilton, Ted Musgrave and Darrell Waltrip.
“It’s one of the most prestigious short-track races in the country,” Gale said. “It’s a great race to come run if you’re a short-track guy. Everybody races all year all over the country, then everybody brings their best stuff down here and sees what they’ve got.”
