The HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro driven by six-time and reigning world champion Greg Anderson is the class of the Pro Stock field this year, and with a second consecutive win in his sixth straight final round, there is no doubt that the most winning driver in the history of Pro Stock is nowhere near finished. At the 65th annual Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals, Anderson raced to victory over KB Titan Racing teammate Dallas Glenn to score the 108th event win of his career and move into position as the second-most winning driver across all of NHRA drag racing.
To earn the Winternationals trophy, Anderson and his KB Titan Racing crew —including crew chiefs Rob Downing, Nate VanWassenhove, and Dave Connolly — deftly applied all of the horsepower that the racing surface at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip would take. In doing so, Anderson qualified on the pole for the 134th time in his career with a 6.490-second jaunt, and throughout eliminations, his HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro continued to bring the best runs of the class to the table. He clocked a 6.4-second pass in every round, resetting the track record for elapsed time twice (6.477 in round one and 6.476 in the final) and plowing through the competition with reaction times that rivaled the best (.013, .030, .015, .027).
“This is the way you want to do it; you want to go out and earn it every single run, and you want to save your best for the final round,” said Anderson, who now has an astounding 989 round wins on his scorecard, second only to Force. “These are proud days. Just like three months ago here in the final round. You want to give your best shot in the final round against the toughest competition, and we both did. We had a fantastic drag race.”
The final round was Anderson’s sixth in a row after closing the 2024 season with three consecutive finals and kicking off this year with three. The meeting with Glenn was also the fourth straight final in which the teammates battled, dating back to the NHRA Finals last season when the winner of the race would determine the Mission Foods Drag Racing Series world champion. Anderson won that one for his sixth series title, and at the season-opening Gatornationals this year, Glenn got the nod to nab the early points lead. In Phoenix last week, Anderson defeated Glenn and got the points lead back in hand.
“It was my turn today, but we all know what Dallas Glenn can do and what he is to this sport and this race team,” Anderson continued. “He’s a win waiting to happen every day, and I got around him this time, but we’ll see what happens next week.”
The friendly rivalry conjures memories of 2004, a season powerfully dominated by the team then known as KB Racing. Anderson earned his second championship and was named Speed Channel Driver of the Year, and rightfully so. In 23 national events contested that season, he claimed 15 wins in 19 final rounds. Four additional wins were earned by then-KB Racing teammate Jason Line. Only four trophies were missed by the KB drivers, and three of those were earned by Dave Connolly, a standout driver who is now part of the KB Titan Racing team of crew chiefs. Kurt Johnson, alongside whom Anderson began his career in Pro Stock working for Pro Stock legend Warren Johnson, was the only other driver to win that year.
The win this weekend was the 16th for Anderson in Pomona, and he is the most winning, currently-competing driver at the facility. Force has the most overall with 17 Pomona wins.
With the points lead in hand, Anderson next heads to Las Vegas for the first of two four-wide events. Although the season has started on an incredible note for Anderson and the KB Titan Racing team, the veteran driver is under no false impressions.
“We’re going to try to keep it going as long as we can. This is the goal,” said Anderson. “This is what you work every day of your life for, to find an advantage like we’ve got right now. Every time this happens, you light a fire underneath the competition, so I don’t expect it to last forever. But you have to make hay when the sun is shining. Right now, it’s shining on us. We’ve been doing a good job. Hopefully, we can get a big lead and see how long we can ride this wave.”
The next event on the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series will be the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Las Vegas, April 11-13.
