GREG ANDERSON - DRIVER

Three-time NHRA POWERade Pro Stock champion, Greg Anderson, driver of 
the KB Racing/Summit Racing Equipment Pro Stock Pontiac GTO, has been 
nominated for the 2005 pee Channel Driver of the Year.

"I feel very privileged to have been nominated for the 2005 Driver of 
the Year," said Anderson, who won the 2004 Speed Channel Driver of the 
Year award becoming only the second NHRA driver since John Force in 1996 
to claim the prestigious award.
 
"I would like to thank the media and fans for helping us show how 
competitive and exciting NHRA POWERade Drag Racing is.  Without their 
support, it could never have grown into such a highly publicized sport.  
It would be a great honor for a NHRA driver to win two years in a row."

Anderson captured his third consecutive NHRA title in 2005, joining drag 
racing legends Bob Glidden and Lee Shepherd on a short and exclusive 
list of drivers who have won three Pro Stock championships in a row.

The Concord, N.C. driver started the 2005 season slowly, winning his 
first event at Atlanta, the seventh NHRA national event of the year. He 
returned to form after the mid-season break and won five of the final 
nine events, including four-in-a-row. He ended 2005 with eight wins in 
11 final rounds.

In its 39th year, the DRIVER OF THE YEAR Award will be determined by an 
independent vote of an 18-member panel of blue ribbon auto racing 
journalists and broadcasters and one vote based on a cumulative tally by 
fans voting. Fan voting for the 2005 peed Channel 
Driver of the Year has already begun.

In addition to *Anderson*, other drivers nominated include: *Sebastien 
Bourdais* (Champ Car), *Steve Kinser *(World of Outlaws),* Tony 
Schumacher* (NHRA), *Tony Stewart* (NASCAR), and *Dan Wheldon* (IRL).  

Drivers' achievements are evaluated using the following criteria: *Track 
Performance* (Wins, top five finishes, top ten finishes and pole 
qualifying), *Sportsmanship* (Conduct and professionalism), 
*Humanitarianism* (Participation in and willingness to support 
philanthropic causes) and *Fan Recognition *(Popularity among 
motorsports enthusiasts).

*The winner will be announced exclusively on PEE Wednesday, February 
15th at 8:00pm ET.*

Anderson will take to the track in defense of his Pro Stock POWERade 
championship when the NHRA CARQUEST Auto Parts Winternationals, the 
season-opening event on the 2006 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, 
unfolds at the Auto Club Raceway at Pomona (Calif.), Feb. 9-12.
