Greg Anderson runner up in Pro Stock at Phoenix

CHANDLER, Ariz. (February 26, 2006) -  After qualifying No. 1 for the 
42nd time in his career, three time defending POWERade champion Greg 
Anderson, driver of the KB Racing LLC/Summit Racing Equipment Pro Stock 
Pontiac GTO, finished in the runner up spot at today's eliminations at 
the NHRA Checker Schuck's Kragen Nationals.

As he advanced through the first three rounds, Anderson defeated Allen 
Johnson, Jim Yates and Greg Stanfield to reach his 59th career final 
round and his 4th final round against Warren Johnson.  

In their first three final rounds, Johnson has two victories.  The last 
time the pair met in a final round was the 2004 Winternationals with 
Anderson coming away with the win light.

Today's win light went to Johnson when mechanical problems derailed 
Anderson's Summit Racing Pontiac.  "It either jumped out of gear or 
broke; I'm not sure which until we get it out of the car," said 
Anderson, after the final round.  "It went into second gear for a tenth 
or two of a second then came out.  We had a little bit of tire shake so 
that could have been the cause making it jump of gear or could have even 
broke it.  I think we had enough to get the win if problems hadn't set 
in.  The timing where it happened was all wrong.

"We're going to go back home and work hard on our engine program and our 
car program and try to make it even better yet.  We got a great program 
now but we feel we can still make it better.  We'll go at them again in 
Gainesville."

The NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series now moves to the East Coast when 
the ACDelco Gatornationals unfolds at Gainesville (Fla.) Raceway, March 
16-19.
