PLEASE HELP!!! We need your help to crown some Champions, and it all starts Friday Night with the Buddy’s Home Furnishing Blizzard Series. The 5th and final Blizzard Series Super Late Model 100 is on tap this Friday, with what is expected to be the largest field of cars we have seen this year.So far, the list represents 12 states and Canada. Georgia driver, Bubba Pollard, by utilizing model consistency, is poised to be crowned as this years Blizzard Series Champ. But there are many story lines that have developed during this 2012 racing season. The fight to finish the season in the top ten in the points standings ranks high on any driver’s list. This insures at least a chance at a provisional starting spot in the 45th Annual Snowball Derby.

The Super Stock Division Title will also be decided this week, with Bubba Winslow coming in with a narrow 21 point lead over Randy Thompson. And in preparation for the September 29th “Whataburger Night of Champions” event, the West Florida Coatings Sportsman and Butler U Pull- It Bombers will be awarded double points this Friday, assuring everyone of a little extra drama on Championship Night. All said, this Friday is sure to offer up some of the best short track action you can find anywhere. (more…)

We hope you enjoyed your Independence Day Holiday, and this week certainly is another big one in our area. Red, White, and Blues Week is here and what a way to follow up the 4th of July. For those of you who may not know, Red , White and Blues Week is a Military based celebration highlighted by the World Famous Blue Angels Pensacola Beach Air Show. And it also rates as one of the biggest nights of the year at 5 Flags Speedway, as many of the thousands of extra people in town will make their way to the Speedway on Friday Night as a prelude to the Saturday beach activities. And 5 Flags has a great night planned for all you race Fans.

With the cancellation of the TBARA Winged Sprint Cars due to low participation, 5 Flags was able to nab the Southern Motorcycle Asphalt Racing Series as a more than suitable replacement. A strong turnout of both Novice and Pro riders are expected, and it will be interesting to see if anyone can “bring it” to Pensacola’s Rob McClendon, who has been on a real hot streak as of late.

Are you ready for some Fireworks? With our last event on June 8th being rained out, this Friday Night’s race program has competitors chomping at the bit more than ever to “celebrate some speed”!! The entire June 8th schedule, including the Allen Turner Pro Late Models and the Kid’s Bike Races, has been moved to Friday Night, June 29th. This Friday’s regularly scheduled Buddy’s Home Furnishings Blizzard Series Coors Light 100 is shaping up to be one of the best yet. With 3 races already in the book, race #4 of 5 takes on even more importance as guys are already starting to think “Snowball”. The 45th Annual Snowball Derby is scheduled for November 28th thru December 2nd. (more…)

The 2012 Racing Season is in full swing at 5 Flags Speedway, as the Buddy’s Home Furnishings Blizzard Series Race # 2 is scheduled for this Friday Night. The “Papa John’s 100” for Super Late Models promises another stellar field of the finest Super Late Model teams in the Southeast. 31 Drivers took the Green Flag on opening day just over a month ago, and 100 Laps later, Dawsonville Georgia driver Chase Elliott parked his Ford in Victory Lane, backing up his Snowball Derby Victory 3 months prior. A new Winner will be virtually assured this Friday, as young Elliott has NASCAR commitments in Richmond. (more…)
