Brent Crews Wins Snowball Derby Last Chance Qualifier, Jett Noland Wins Snowflake LCQ

Brent Crews raced his way into the 57th Annual Snowball Derby on Saturday evening at Five Flags Speedway, winning the Last Chance Qualifier.

Crews took the lead from pole-sitter Nicholas Naugle on the sixth lap of the 50-lap race and pulled away to win by nearly four seconds in the caution-free event.

Naugle finished second, with Conner Jones taking the third position. Caden Kvapil passed Kyle Steckly for the fourth and final transfer spot on lap 41 to earn his spot in the Snowball Derby field.

With Caden Kvapil's inclusion, there are now two sets of brothers in the Snowball Derby field for the first time in the event's history. Cayden and Treyten Lapcevich both qualified into the event during Friday's Country Pleasin' Sausage Pole Night.

The Kvapils become the fifth set of brothers to ever compete against each other in the Snowball Derby. Bobby and Donnie Allison competed against each other nine times, Freddy and Bobby Fryar were both in the 1970 and 1972 Snowball Derby fields, and most recently Kyle and Kason Plott competed against each other in 2017.

Meanwhile, the 16-year-old Crews will be the youngest of the 36 starters in Sunday's Snowball Derby.

Dylan Caldwell started on the pole in the Last Chance Qualifier, but quickly faded through the field and finished seventh. Jett Noland won the Last Chance Qualifier, with Sylas Ripley, Anthony Bello and Brandon Lopez earning their spots in the Snowflake 100.

The Snowflake 100 takes the green flag at 6 p.m. CT/7 p.m. ET on Saturday night, followed by the Faith Chapel Outlaws Snowball Derby 50.

The 57th Annual Snowball Derby goes green on Sunday, December 8 at 1 p.m. CT/2 p.m. ET.
