Who said it's not a good idea to buy a used car? Certainly not Anderson, whose winning Pontiac GTO was one he purchased from a Competition Eliminator competitor in the off-season.

"We felt we needed a spare car," Anderson said. "We couldn't get a car (from Rick Jones) for six months because he is backed up so much. So we decided to buy a used one, and we found one that was being run in Comp eliminator. We took it and made some changes to it. We didn't think we would race it, just use it as a back up. But we brought it here. It was a bit of a risky move, but it paid off."
