December 6, 2024

Thursday night of Snowball Derby week saw a trio of local classes take to the track, with Chad Robinson scoring the Sportsman victory and Mason Johnston scoring the Pure Stock victory.

Both wins came in addition to Kaden Honeycutt’s eventful Pro Truck win, in which he was declared the winner after Steven Davis’s disqualification.

Starting with the Sportsman feature, Chad Robinson capped off a fantastic 2024 season with his victory in the feature. Robinson set a new division track record on his way to the victory, with a qualifying lap of 19.354 seconds.

Joining Robinson on the Sportsman podium were second place Maddox Langham and third place James Patrick. Brannon Fowler and Daryl McDonald III rounded out the top five.

Mason Johnston Scores Emotional Pure Stock Victory
