Anderson Determined to Pick Up on Second Day of Kansas Nationals
 
Event:  25th annual NHRA Kansas Nationals
Location: Heartland Park Topeka, Topeka, Kansas
Day/Date: Friday, May 17, 2013
 
The first day of the NHRA Kansas Nationals left Summit Racing driver Greg Anderson hungry and a little perplexed as he made a pair of clean runs, just like teammate Jason Line, but didn’t see the numbers come up on the scoreboard that he expected. Eager for day two of the event at Heartland Park Topeka, Anderson is set on rectifying the situation and rising in the line-up from his current position as the provisional No. 6 qualifier.
 
“Quite honestly, we felt that we had made decent runs today,” said Anderson. “It’s a little puzzling because we’re just not lighting up the scoreboard like we should be. The runs weren’t perfect, but they were good, they just ran like they had the parachute dragging all the way down the racetrack. We know these Summit Racing Camaros are better than this, so we’ll be working hard before those next two qualifying runs to pick up the pace.”
 
Anderson clocked a 6.662 at 207.88 mph in the first session and crossed the finish line with a 6.655 at 207.85 mph in the later run on the first day in Topeka.
 
“It’s not the track; the track seems fine and it held up great all day,” said Anderson. “We’re just not going nearly as fast as we think we should for how clean these runs are. We were being too conservative, so we’re just going to have to get more aggressive tomorrow, and we think this track will hold it. We just need to be careful not to go over the edge, and hopefully, we can move up the ladder.”
