The Snowball Derby is one of the most anticipated late-model events in the racing world. This year the event will welcome multiple NASCAR drivers and former cup champion Brad Keselowski. The RFK Racing owner-driver will make his debut in the series. He will lead a young group of drivers chasing glory in the offseason and set themselves well for the 2023 season.
Two times Snowball Derby winner Erick Jones is one of the significant competitors to look up to in the race, which starts on November 30. The Petty GMS driver is twice a winner at the All-star Late Model event. HMS driver William Byron will be another significant entrant to the race, chasing his maiden win in the event.
The 2022 Championship P2 finisher Noah Gregson will lead the Xfinity Garage. He won the event in 2018. He will be joined by Josh Berry and Sammy Smith, who is coming in from an impressive Xfinity season. Both of them will be chasing their first win of the event and hoping to win over Gregson before he makes the switch to the cup series in 2023.
The Truck series also represented a considerable time in the event. Ty Majeski, Corey Heim, Chandler Smith, Carson Hocevar, and Connor Mosack will represent the third division of NASCAR at the track. Smith is the defending champion going into the event, while Majeski, the 2020 winner, hopes to return to the victory lane.

Why did Brad Keselowski decide to debut in the 2022 Snowball Derby
The 2012 cup series champion, who had a tough time in the cup series this season, decided to take a shot at the Late Model race, hoping to bring together NASCAR and the regional series. The superstar lineup also influences him to partake in the iconic event.
“The Snowball Derby is essentially an all-star race as it attracts some of the biggest names in short-track racing, as well as some of my competitors from NASCAR. This is my first time behind the wheel at the Derby,” Brad Keselowski said.
“I’m looking forward to the race and very appreciative of Fr8Auctions coming on board with me. Fr8Auctions has supported all levels of racing, so it’s great to partner with them for this particular event and bring together NASCAR and super late model racing,” Bard Keselowski added.
