After his second win in as many races, Greg Anderson is a confident racer, which should be a red-flag to his fellow competitors.

“When I have confidence I seem to be a pretty good racer,” said Anderson after closing the gap on point leader Mike Edwards to just 16 points.

The win was basically a come from behind victory as Edwards was first off the line, but it was Anderson first across the stripe at the finish. Edwards made it tough on Anderson with a .001 light to Anderson's .014. However, it was Anderson, 6.58 to 6.61, at the finish line for his 64th career win.

“My team has been flawless for two races in a row now and I'm so proud of them,” added Anderson. “They've got a heck of job on their hands trying to keep me positive all the time because if my car's not the fastest car out there I'm not happy and shame on me for that because it doesn't have to be that way.

“We’ve got serious chance at getting the championship back and I really had doubts a few races back,” said Anderson, further explaining his change of attitude. “The guys are giving me a race car every race that I can win with now. We’re still not in the lead after back-to-back wins and that just goes to show you how tough this class is and how tough Mike Edwards is. We’re going to have to find a way to take that trophy from him; he’s not going to give it up. He’s the champion for a reason. He’s a great racer, he’s got a great team, he’s got a great hot rod, and he just doesn’t make many mistakes. The good news is we’re kind of peaking at the right time. We’re a threat to win every race now and we’re threat to win the championship.”
Anderson and his Summit Pontiac battled their way past semi-teammate and brother-in-law Ronnie Humphrey in round one with a 6.59, then took out low qualifier Allen Johnson in the semifinals with a strong 6.58 before ending the hopes of rookie Shane Gray in the semifinals, 6.60 to 6.61.
There was one achilles heel in Anderson's game plan this weekend. Luckily he avoided the problem while his team mate Jason Line did not.
“Where you pull up in the water box there are grooves and ruts,” explained Anderson. “The problem is the concrete, You can't cut a section out. With all the cars that have done burn outs they've worn a groove in the concrete. It's like a truck stop exit. It's a problem but I don't know what we can do about it.”

Line tried to do a burnout and in the process rolled past the starting beams. When he backed up and tried a second burnout, Line ran afoul of one of those obscure rules.

“Jason didn't realize there was a rule about burnouts. I didn't know it. Shame on us for not knowing the rules. I feel horrible for Jason.”
