Veteran Pensacola driver Scott Carlson’s late model career is undergoing a fresh detail. A new ride from Grand American Race Cars, the Jaguar of late model manufacturers. A new sponsor thanks to Anderson Subaru. And a new crew chief in Josh Hamner who knows his way around Five Flags Speedway.

“Racing keeps me feeling young,” Carlson said. The 55-yearold hotshoe pointed out he’s a year older than Mark Martin, who continues to make life tough on his Sprint Cup Series counterparts.

Carlson would love to take a page from the Martin playbook tonight after coming home 19th in the Blizzard opener. All four Blizzard races this year figure into the Southern Series points. To date, there have been six events at tracks across the South, but only Five Flags has exhibited a bit of diversity.

T.J. Reaid, who won last month here, is one of just three winners. Augie Grill — holder of two Snowball Derby and two Snowflake 100 titles — boasts three wins, while Bubba Pollard — the pole sitter at the 2011 Snowball Derby, has two.

Pollard was on pace for his third when the SSS debut here May 24 during the 125 lapper.

But lapped traffic spelled disaster for Pollard with five laps left when he crashed into the outside wall.

“What (these races are), is a mini Snowball Derby,” Carlson said. “We’ve got the same class of racers here for the Blizzard race as we do for the Derby.”

The now 36-year veteran of Five Flags — last year was the first season Carlson missed since breaking through in 1976 — would love nothing more than to test his new mettle (and metal) against the cream of the crop.-Read all of Chuck Corder’s story on our web site: www.snowballderby.com
