Dalton Sargeant and the No. 5s Victor Ford Wauters Motorsports team battled throughout the 323 laps of their very first Snowball Derby. After qualifying in 25th, Sargeant methodically made his way through a field of the best short track drivers in the country, finishing in the second position. The Snowball Derby was Sargeant’s seventh super late model start, and only second start at 5 Flags Speedway.
“It’s a really good run for everyone on this Wauters Motorsports team, to be in contention for the win there at the end is a testament to how we all came together as a team this weekend. We didn’t always have the best practice sessions, and searched around for the best setup, but Richie Wauters and team never gave up and worked extremely hard all weekend to find the balance that showed up in those closing laps. This was a brand new car that we tested a few weeks before the Derby and we knew we were going to have something that we could contend with as soon as we unloaded it. The race got really crazy at times, but having a good car made those 3 and sometimes even 4 wide situations easier, we had really good pitstops all day and as soon as the sun went down the car just took off. Great momentum going into 2015 and now we’ll switch gears and go to work on those plans now.”
