Greg Anderson is one fierce competitor. NHRA Pro Stock racing in the Camping World Drag Racing Series is what makes his blood run steadily through his veins and what he eats, sleeps and drinks. It\u2019s his calling.<\/p>\n
Not only does Anderson own four championships in this class, but he\u2019s on the verge of becoming the door slammer class\u2019 most successful driver. On Sunday, September 12th, Anderson wheeled his KB Racing HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro to victory over fellow four-time titleholder Erica Enders, tying The Professor, Warren Johnson, with 97 victories in the Pro Stock category.<\/p>\n
Anderson, 60, has been on the verge of this achievement, but it took the Mopar Express Lane NHRA Nationals, held at historic Maple Grove Raceway outside Reading PA to fulfill this destiny. It\u2019s been a haul for Anderson, who last won at the final Atlanta Dragway event, the Lucas Oil NHRA Southern Nationals, held at the end of April, start of May. For a guy with 96 victories on his resume, that\u2019s a long wait.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing better than when that win light comes on. It was a huge day to finally tie Warren – I learned so much from him and it\u2019s kind of a cool story. Now I get a chance to try and beat him, and we\u2019re going to Charlotte with a chance to break that record,\u201d he said after exiting his car at the top end of of the track.<\/p>\n
Before knocking out Enders in the finals with a quarter-mile pass of 6.578 at 208.30 mph over her\u00a0 6.604\/206.73, Anderson easily defeated John Gaydosh Jr., who broke on the burnout, survived a tight contest against Matt Hartford, and earned a hole shot victory over Troy Coughlin Jr. He retains the points lead over Enders, before going to North Carolina for his \u201chome\u201d race in the Carolina NHRA Nationals at zMax Dragway.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt feels pretty cool to make some history today,\u201d Anderson continued. \u201cAfter the Atlanta race, we were on a roll and I kind of dropped the ball and couldn\u2019t find a way to the winner\u2019s circle. Thank you to everyone who has been part of every one of these wins,, from family and fans to our incredible KB Racing team – and every sponsor who has stood by us through the years. Today is for all of us, not just the driver.\u201d<\/p>\n
