Time Winding Down to Sponsor Snowball Derby Laps for $50
At first it was months away. Then it was weeks away. Now, we’re beginning to finally count down the days until the 50th Annual Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway. This historic event is expected to capture the attention of race fans all over the world and there’s no better way to put your stamp on the event than by sponsoring one (or more) of the 300 laps for just $50.
All money raised by the lap sponsorship program will go directly into the pockets of the racers who will be putting on a show for the fans on Sunday, December 3. For each lap that is sold, the driver leading the race will pocket $50 on that lap. If all 300 laps are sold, that could boost overall winnings by $15,000 if a driver were to lead every lap.
The 50th Annual Snowball Derby lap sponsorship program is a great opportunity for a business, family or team to have their name become a part of racing history in the biggest pavement short track race in America.
Those who sponsor laps will see their name or businesses name listed in the Snowball Derby event program, as well as on Speed51.com – the official news site of the 50th Annual Snowball Derby. Additionally, lap sponsors receive mentions during the race weekend on the Five Flags Speedway public address system.
For information on how to purchase laps, please email tim@snowballderby.com or call the Five Flags Speedway office at 850-944-8400. Laps will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
