Impressive Runs For Theriault At Snowball Derby
Rookie Finishes 4th In Snowflake 100, Day Ends Early In Snowball 300

PENSACOLA, Fla. – Austin Theriault finished fourth in the Snowflake 100 at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Fla., on Saturday, December 1, and came within 60 laps of posting a second Top-5 finish on the weekend before an electrical issue ended his first Snowball Derby 300 prematurely on Sunday, December 2.

Theriault qualified 33rd for the Snowball Derby after finishing third in a large field in the 50-lap Last-Chance Qualifier on Saturday, and he drove all the way into the Top-10 at the midway point of the 45th annual 300-lap event. He managed to get on the same tire strategy as the race leaders by the time he was running as high as third with less than 60 laps remaining, but a broken power steering belt sapped his engine of power and forced him to retire early from the prestigious Super Late Model event.
