Big Congratulations !!!!

Over the last dozen laps of the 41st Annual Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, Augie Grill drove like a man possessed. The fact that he had won this race one year before didn’t satisfy his hunger for victory. In fact, it might have just added to his appetite. During those laps, Grill wheeled his #112 through lapped traffic and chased after Brian Ickler. But when the race hit 300 laps, the checkered flag waved and Grill just didn’t get to Ickler in time.“I just wanted to win,” said Grill, minutes after the race ended. “It’s a competitive spirit. Every race that I’m in I want to win, no questions asked." “We kind of figured this would happen for the last hour and they were all in a meeting talking about it,” said Grill. “I hate to win one like this. I’ve been thrown out of qualifying and races. so it is what it is. I’ll take it. I think my car was faster than his anyways.”

The end result of the weekend though is that Grill will go down as a two-time winner of the Snowball Derby. The Alabama driver, who is the son of famed car builder Frankie Grill, has secured a place in the history books by becoming only the eighth multi-time winner in the history of the Derby.
