Kyle Busch returning to Snowball Derby

For the first time in five years, two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch is returning to Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, to take part in the Snowball Derby on Dec. 4-7.

Busch will drive the No. 51 Lucas Oil-sponsored entry for Bryson Lopez Racing in the annual Super Late Model crown jewel event. The team will be led by Danny Stockman, who guided Jesse Love and the Richard Childress Racing No. 2 team to the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship in 2025.

“It’s been a few years since I’ve been to Pensacola, but I haven’t forgotten how to get around Five Flags,” Busch said. “The Snowball Derby is one of those bucket-list races you always want to win again and again, and I’m fired up to be back with the No. 51 Lucas Oil team and FloRacing. We’re showing up to take that trophy home.”
