46th Annual Snowball Derby To Close Out The 2013 Racing Season For Chad Finley
Pensacola, Florida to be the final road trip of 2013 for Chad Finley Racing (Special from Chad Finley Racing)
December 2, 2013
DeWitt, Michigan (December 2, 2013) – It all comes down to one more race on the 2013
calendar for Chad Finley and his Chad Finley Racing Team. The 21-year-old will make the
long trip south for the biggest short track event in the country; the 46th annual Snowball
Derby at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida on December 3-8th. It will be Finley's
first ever attempt at cracking the field in the most prestigious pavement short track race in
the world and after his consistent runs of late, he feels he is ready to take on the best the
Super Late Models world has to offer in the biggest race of them all.
"The entire team and I are really looking forward to getting down to Pensacola and getting
to work. I feel that with the time off from Nashville we have made our program stronger and
better." The DeWitt, Michigan driver stated. "The Snowball derby is the most prestigious
late model race in the country and in my eyes 'The Grand Daddy of Them All'. We have to
be on our game to have a strong finish and go after the Tom Dawson trophy." He added.
In 14 total starts during the 2013 racing season, Finley has collected two Wins, both in the
JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance with those trips to victory
lane coming at Columbus Motor Speedway (OH) on May 25th and at Springport Motor
Speedway (MI) on September 14th. He also has collected five top five finishes and eight
top 10 showings.
In addition to his race statistics, he also has two Track Records and three overall Fast Qualifier Awards during the year. His record breaking laps came at South Alabama Speedway (AL) on March 16th in his Super Late Model and at Columbus in the JEGS/CRA race which resulted in a clean sweep of that weekend. He also has a FQ Award in ARCA/CRA Super Series competition at Lucas Oil Raceway (IN) back on July 26th.
"I feel throughout the year, and especially as of late, our program has gotten better. We have had speed at many race tracks just haven't had the luck to go with it." Finley continued. "We were fortunate enough to be in position to win a couple of races this year and capitalized with two trips to victory lane. We're looking for just one more to close out the season here in 2013." He stated.
"We're still building this race team so we are making progress that’s for sure. Everyone is already committed for the 2014 season with us, so that will help us keep building CFR and hopefully we can end the season with a strong showing at the Snowball Derby." Finley added. "The Snowball Derby is huge. The entire Motorsports Industry is watching that one. No matter what happens at the Snowball though, we'll continue to keep moving forward with CFR and we'll keep getting better." He ended
