Snowball Derby Officials Announce Tire Change
September 30, 2025
Pensacola, FL - Five Flags Speedway and Hoosier Racing Tire announced today the
designated tire to be used for the 58th Annual Snowball Derby and the 21st Annual Allen
Turner Snowflake 125, to be held December 4th through 7th. During the 2025 regular season,
the track utilized the Hoosier ST-1* left side tire, and the ST-3* right side tire for both Pro
Late Model and Super Late Model competition.
The tire company conducted a formal,
multi team, multi chassis tire test at Five Flags on Wednesday, September 3rd, and results
from that test led to the decision to utilize the F-45* tires on both left and right side. “At the
end of the day we feel an obligation to not just our competitors, but to our fans, to oAer a
platform that produces the best racing possible”, stated track GM Tim Bryant.
“While the ST tire program worked well, kudos to Hoosier for continuing their eAorts to develop
something even better. At the recent test the 45* tire gave multiple drivers the feel they
were looking for in their race cars, while yielding the proper amount of fall-oA everyone was
looking for. This change should equate to better side by side racing, and hopefully more
passing to excite race fans.”
