Travis Braden declared Snowball Derby winner after Stephen Nasse is DQ’d

Travis Braden had to overcome a lot working his way from a 36th place starting position in the Snowball Derby to a flagged second place finish.

Then following post race inspections it was determined that Stephen Nasse’s car had been disqualified due to a illegal equipment violation making Braden the winner of the 52nd annual event.

Jake Garcia, 14, ended up being scored as the second place finisher.

If this sounds familiar it is because it has become a trend in the Snowball Derby since 2013. In 2013 Chase Elliott was DQ’d giving Erik Jones the win while 2015 winner Christopher Bell was DQ’d giving Elliott the win.
