Houston. The 47-year old driver of the
Summit Racing Equipment Pontiac GXP deflected the potential misfortunes
en route to winning his 53rd NHRA POWERade national event title by
defeating Kurt Johnson.
Anderson emerged as the champion in Houston just like he did in Pomona. However, that’s where the similarities ended.
“We did it and it was a completely different win than the first one in
Pomona,” Anderson said. “We just had a flawless weekend. We showed up
and we ran great. We qualified number one. I think we ran low ET
every run and everything was smooth sailing.
