Anderson looking for things to go his way at Midwest Nationals

Mooresville, N.C., September 24, 2014 – Greg Anderson isn’t one to dwell on the past, but as the 74-time national event winner returns to the St. Louis area this weekend for the AAA Insurance NHRA Midwest Nationals, he is buoyed by the memory of strong past performances. The driver of the white Summit Racing Pro Stock Chevrolet Camaro won the event in 2004 in what was truly a remarkable season that included 15 wins in 19 final rounds. In addition to the St. Louis win, Anderson is a multi-time finalist there and has a collection of low qualifier awards earned at the drag strip in the shadow of The Arch. To say that visiting Gateway Motorsports Park is something that the Mooresville, N.C.-based driver looks forward to would be to state the obvious.

KYLE LARSON, NO. 42 TARGET CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED 2ND
THIS CAR CAN’T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF FUEL LEFT IN IT, TALK ABOUT YOUR RUN:
“It was a really good race for us. Our Target Chevy wasn’t even a top-15 car the first 100 laps, and Shine (Chris Heroy) and everybody on this Target team did a great job to get me in the game. They made some big changes there under the second or third caution, and it felt like a totally different race car. So hats off to my guys. Thanks to Chip (Ganassi), Felix (Sabates), Chevy, Target, everybody. I always get close when Chip is here, I just can’t get a win it seems like. Maybe sometimes I’ll get a win with Chip here.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–New Hampshire–Post Race →
