ENNIS, Texas. (September 22, 2006) - After the first day of qualifying 
and two of four qualifying sessions, Greg Anderson, driver of the KB 
Racing LLC/Summit Racing Equipment Pontiac holds the No. 1 qualifying 
position at the NHRA O'Reilly Fall Nationals presented by Castrol Syntec.

Anderson's best run came in Friday's second session when he covered the 
Texas Motorplex quarter-mile in 6.782 seconds at 203.83 mph.

Anderson's KB Racing LLC teammate Jason Line is qualified second at the 
end of today's two run.  He ran a best elapsed time today of 6.788 
seconds at a speed of 203.03 mph.

"My hat's off to the guys," said Anderson following today's two 
sessions.  "They're doing a heck of a job with both cars, and they're 
giving Jason and me everything we could ask for to make this stretch run 
and give ourselves a shot.  That's a tribute to the crew guys over there 
and to the engine guys back at the shop. 

"I'm just lucky to be piloting that car.  I'm happy, I'm lucky, and 
Jason's happy and he's lucky.  We're two lucky guys out there and we're 
having fun out there, we're getting to play and knock heads with each 
other, and that's a lot of fun."

Anderson has done well at the Motorplex.  He has been No. 1 qualifier 
twice (2003 and 2005) and has gone to two final rounds, winning both.  
He won over Jeg Coughlin in 2003 and over his teammate Jason Line last year.

Additionally, Anderson holds the Texas Motorplex track records for 
elapsed time (6.647 seconds) and speed (207.40 mph).

In the NHRA POWERade point battle Anderson, who holds the second 
position in the Pro Stock point standings, is trailing Line, who leads 
the point standing, by 59 points.  Anderson knows that he still has five 
races to make up the difference.
