Strap in and hang on to your lug nuts because the starter’s flag is about to drop on the 56th annual Snowball Derby! That’s right, it’s that time of year when the air smells like burnt rubber, and our hearts race faster than a final lap at Daytona.
We’ve got the official entry list for the derby hotter than a fresh set of tires on asphalt, and it’s an epic lineup that’ll have you on the edge of your pit box. As of 11/29/2023, the names are locked in, but remember, like the best race strategies, it’s “subject to change.”
Now, let’s give a holler to our returning champs, marked with a star-studded asterisk. And these folks know their way around the track better than I know my way to the fridge at 2 AM.
Erik Jones, Noah Gragson, and Ty Majeski are back, and they’re not just here to sign autographs and sip on sponsor’s drinks. These speed demons have tasted victory and are hungry for another bite!
But hold your horsepower because the list of contenders is longer than the line for the bathroom during a caution flag. We’ve got:
- Michael House
- William Sawalich
- John Bolen
- Johnny Sauter

- Derek Thorn
- Jace Hansen
- Derek Kraus
- Derek Griffith
- Carson Hocevar

So, grab your scanners, and let’s get ready to see who will leave their mark in the history books and who will leave with tire marks. Will the past champs reign supreme, or will a new hero emerge from the smoke? Only time, speed, and a bit of good old-fashioned racing luck will tell.
Stay tuned, and keep your eyes peeled for the green flag. We’re in for a wild ride with more twists and turns than a soap opera plotline. Let’s go racing!
Rev those engines, folks!
