Five Star Race Car Bodies presents the daily Five Star Tested Tough Award during the Snowball Derby coverage on Speed51.com. These awards go to the driver who overcomes the most adversity and shows their toughness above the rest.

Each day's award leads up to Sunday's Hal Goodson Award, which 51 originated when that driver finished the Snowball Derby with a torn-up racecar.

Saturday's Tested Tough driver was Garrett Jones. Jones needed a points provisional to make the Snowflake 100 field, but he rocketed through the field in the 100-lap feature to score a podium finish.

Sunday, 51 awarded the Hal Goodson Award / Tested Tough Award to Logan Boyett, who managed to finish the 300-lap Snowball Derby with the most torn-up racecar.

Each day during the Snowball Derby week, Speed51.com awards the "Cool Under Pressure Award" presented by FLUIDYNE. The daily award goes to a driver who stayed composed when the goings got tough at some point during the Snowball event.

This will be a special two-day award for both Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday's Cool Under Pressure driver was Dillon Oliver. Oliver overcame a near-disastrous penalty in Snowflake 100 qualifying to post a fifth-place finish. Oliver's crew violated the pit road impound procedure and his time was initially disallowed, but that penalty was rescinded when rains came and allow all other teams to approach their cars. Oliver kept the positive mojo going for a top-five run in the 100-lap Pro Late Model Snowflake 100 later in the night.

Snowball Derby Sunday's Cool Under Pressure driver was Derek Thorn. Thorn had nothing but bad luck in previous editions of his Snowball Derbies past, but this one went more according to plan. The California driver turned heads and kept his car on all four wheels - unlike a few years back - en route to an impressive second-place finish.

For their "Cool Under Pressure" moments, Dillon Oliver (Saturday) and Derek Thorn (Sunday) are this weekend's product certificate winners from FLUIDYNE.

According to a crew member from Kraus' team, Ricky Brooks suspicion centered around an exhaust system brand that Brooks had never seen before. He wanted to double check it for performance implications.

Today is a 16-tire race. That means teams will start with 4 tires on their car (hopefully) and then have 12 tires - in other words, 3 complete sets - to change on their cars at any point during today's race.

Travis Braden was DQed after winning last night's Last Chance race. Left side weight was 58.1% where the limit was 58%.

Braden commented this morning:

"It was just an error on our part to be honest. New car and we never thought to check how much left side weight we gained after fuel burnoff. Our other cars don't gain. Needless to say, our fuel cell will never be in that location again."

It was a tough spot for the track. A lot of logistics go into the Snowball Derby and while there were contingenices, trying to get the races in last night was the best of all options for the fans in attendance and the teams.

Comment From J5

Was there any reason the track didn't move the Snowflake race to today instead of racing all night?
