William Sawalich Reacts To Argument With Noah Gragson At Snowball Derby
It was an eventful first day of the Snowball Derby that brought Noah Gragson and William Sawalich a bit close for comfort, which resulted in name calling.
William Sawalich and Matthew Dillner had a little fun about Noah Gragson calling him a "dip dot" after a Thursday practice get-together at the Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway. The two drivers hit the track in the second day of practice on Friday morning in the cold Pensacola weather.

What Kind Of Cars Race In The Snowball Derby?
The Snowball Derby is a 300-lap race contested by Super Late Models.
Without getting too technical, Super Late Models are the Late Models most frequently raced around North America and are raced at other big events, such as the Winchester 400, All-American 400, Oxford 250 and the Battle at Berlin.
Pro Late Models also race during Snowball Derby week, in the Snowflake 100, which traditional is contested on Saturday night each year, while the Snowball Derby takes place Sunday.
Pro Late Models are nearly identical to Super Late Models, except under the hood, as they have less horsepower.
Who Is Racing In The 2024 Snowball Derby?
The Snowball Derby attracts attention from racers all over North America, from the weekly Super Late Model ranks, all the way up to the NASCAR Cup Series.

NASCAR Cup Series driver, and winner of the 51st Snowball Derby, Noah Gragson, is returning to Five Flags in search of his second Tom Dawson Trophy.
Derek Thorn of Bakersfield, California, is back again in search of his second victory (2022), while Ty Majeski of Seymour, Wisconsin, is looking to join rarified air by winning his third Snowball Derby and second in a row (2020, 2023).
