Noah Gragson and William Sawalich Clash During Snowball Derby Practice

The NASCAR drivers exchanged sharp words over an on-track incident, with fans largely siding with Gragson's account.

Noah Gragson criticized William Sawalich for aggressive driving during a Thursday practice session at the Snowball Derby in Pensacola, Florida.
Gragson accused Sawalich of unsafe merging and disrupting his practice run, calling the behavior 'unnecessary' and 'stupid' in a FloRacing interview.
William Sawalich defended his actions by sharing in-car footage, but many fans argued the video supported Gragson's claims instead.
The Snowball Derby holds personal significance for Gragson, who won the event in 2018 and considers it more important than the Daytona 500 in his career.
As tensions rise between the two drivers, the Snowball Derby's main event is set to take place, with both racers aiming to make their mark.
