44th Annual Snowball Derby

The 2011 Snowball Derby was by and large the greatest battle in the history of the storied race. A late race caution setup a thrilling five lap battle between Chase Elliott and Snowball rookie DJ VanderLey. The two drivers raced side-by-side each lap… some thinking that VanderLey was going to pull off the upset victory by using the momentum of the high line. Elliott was able to edge past on the final lap, and score his first Snowball Derby victory, at only age 16. Ted Baber, owner of Ted Baber Video Productions and Five Flags Speedway videographer captured the final moments of the race, and has shared them with the masses.
