Pomona, Calif., November 15, 2014 – Greg Anderson and the white Summit Racing Chevrolet Camaro are all warmed up and ready for the final Sunday of the 2014 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series.

“Jason and I ended up on the same side of the ladder, and that obviously isn’t what we wanted to happen – but we’re just going to have to race as hard as we can tomorrow with our Summit Racing Chevrolet Camaros and hope for the best-case scenario,” said Anderson. Line is just 19 points – less than a single round – behind points leader Erica Enders-Stevens.

That would be a dream day for us and certainly a dream day for Pro Stock – and possibly the coolest finish to a Pro Stock championship ever,” said Anderson. “Everyone is going to be talking about Pro Stock tomorrow. It’s going to be fun.”
