The Speed51 Snowball Derby Kickoff Party returns to Beef O’ Brady’s once again for the 52nd Annual Snowball Derby, but this year the party will be brought closer to Five Flags Speedway. It will now take place at the location at 2101 W 9 Mile Road, just three miles from the track on Tuesday, December 3 at 6:00 p.m. CT.
Once again, hosts Bob Dillner and Adam Mackey will be using every corner of Beef O’ Brady’s as their set for the live show. Dillner and Mackey will be wandering all over the restaurant, from the bar inside to the patio outside, mingling side-by-side with competitors and fans.
Fans can sit side-by-side with their favorite Snowball Derby competitors and also partake in games and win prizes that are still to be announced.
