Mike Edwards has no qualms when it comes to admitting his position on
the wrong side of his friendly rivalry with Greg Anderson.
He might not change the face of their head-to-head records on the basis of one race, but winning in Sunday’s first round would provide a step in the right direction.
"Greg has really had my number, and I know it needs to change soon," Edwards added.

The run has been a long one since Edwards bested Anderson in NHRA eliminations. The last round victory came Sept. 15, 2002 at the Reading national event when Edwards stopped Anderson in the second round. Since that time, Anderson has collected 22 straight round wins over the course of the nearly six-year stranglehold.
"Racers always talk about you can lose in many different ways, and I think I have done every one against Greg," Edwards joked. "From red-lights, to the transmission popping out of gear, and you name it has been how I came up short. That book is full, it is time to start writing chapters about how I beat Greg."
