Johanna Long won Sunday’s 43rd annual Snowball Derby in Florida, becoming just the second female to win the prestigious short-track event.

Long, 18, is the youngest driver to win the event, which attracts top drivers from across the nation to the paved, half-mile Five Flags Speedway near Pensacola.

Last year, Kyle Busch won the race. This year, NASCAR drivers David Ragan, David Stremme and Landon Cassill were among the entries.

Long, a resident of Pensacola, passed Cassill on lap 316, held the lead and got the victory. Long led a total of 23 laps.

Cassill was spun on the move and a big crash occurred behind him.

Long spent the 2010 season in the Camping World Truck Series. She had seven starts in the series. Her best finish was 17th, which she had at O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis. She had two other top-20 finishes.

Long had her best qualifying effort in the truck series at Texas Motor Speedway. She started the race ninth.

Chase Elliott, leading at the time, saw an unprecedented Snowflake 100-Derby weekend sweep fall by the wayside when Cassill spun him on lap 298.

The son of Bill Elliott, Chase started 31st in the 36-car Snowflake on Saturday. He took the lead on lap 86.
