DRIVER OF THE WEEK: The inaugural Bingley's Auto Body Driver of the Week Award goes to Oyster Bed Bridge’s Kenny Snow (SnowStorm Racing) in our Fitzpatrick Consulting Street Stock division!
After spending a long while "semi-retired" (dabbling in Pro Stocks, playing substitute for others, etc.), "The Snow Storm" returned behind the wheel of his own Street Stock — the former Tom C. Nicholls hotrod — for the first time in years during our 2026 Season Opener on Sunday, May 17th.
Heading into the event, the hometown veteran and former champion had two wishes (seriousness up for interpretation): to stay caught up with the field and for a short-distance feature. One turned out to be an understatement, and the other — well, the extra laps didn't seem to slow him down.
Snow benefited from favourable random draws for his heat and semi races, starting and finishing first in both. The biggest highlight there was him — the New Glasgow Fire Department's newest fire chief — besting two of his crew in an exciting, spirited 12-lap semi showdown.
In the extended, caution-free 40-lap feature, Snow charged through a deep 10-car field from eighth, climbing to third by the halfway mark after outmuscling a strong group of fellow veteran competitors, and maintained that position to the finish.
When we say this award embodies what racing at Oyster Bed Speedway is all about, Kenny Snow’s Opening Day story fits that definition perfectly, setting the standard for what it will take for others to earn it as the season continues.
Congratulations, Kenny! As we await his return in a few weeks to present him the award, we look forward to seeing his son, Brandon, take his turn in the #7 Street Stock for the first time this year this Saturday on Fan Appreciation Night!
