NORWALK, OH – June 22, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – It would have been fitting for Greg Anderson to get his 100th win last weekend in Bristol at the track where he earned his first career Pro Stock victory. But while that didn’t happen, getting that milestone win at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park would be just as fulfilling for the defending world champ.
Anderson has long been a standout driver at the fan-favorite facility, and he’ll look to grab a Pro Stock-best fourth win in Norwalk at this weekend’s Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals. It’s always been a marquee race for the five-time world champion and with continuous improvements, the 99-time event winner seems on the brink of getting that incredible 100th victory in his HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro.
Doing it in Norwalk would mean a great deal for Anderson, who has put together many memorable finishes at the track for the KB Racing team. Getting No. 100 would surely go straight to the top of the list for the legendary driver.
“The Summit Racing Equipment event is in just a few days at one of the nicest tracks we go to, and I’m looking forward to getting there,” said Anderson, who is currently fifth in the Pro Stock points standings. “That’s been a good race for us, a good race for me, personally, and I would really like to have a get-well weekend there for this HendrickCars.com team.”
Steve Torrence (Top Fuel), Cruz Pedregon (Funny Car), Erica Enders (Pro Stock) and Matt Smith (Pro Stock Motorcycle) won the 2021 event, and this year’s race will be broadcast on both FOX and Fox Sports 1 (FS1). It is the 8th of 22 races during the 2022 Pro Stock season and Anderson believes his team is about to hit its stride after an uncharacteristic slow start.
His KB Racing team dominated a season ago as he posted five victories and 12 No. 1 qualifiers en route to the world title and becoming the all-time wins leader in Pro Stock. This year, it’s been a different story thus far as Anderson is still after his first win and No. 1 spot of the 2022 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season.
But he’s show positive signs this month after a five-week break for the class. That tells Anderson the team put in work during the down time and he’s ready to take advantage over what will be a busy summer. That started last weekend in Bristol and continues in Norwalk, where Anderson will look to avenge last year’s final-round loss to rival and current points leader…
