Summit Racing Pro Stock driver Greg Anderson broke his own NHRA Pro Stock national ET record by driving his Summit Racing Pontiac G6 GXP to a 6.528-second run during the season-opening Kragen O’Reilly NHRA Winternationals on February 10. Anderson’s top speed of 211.23 mph also temporarily set a new track speed record until his teammate Jason Line took it away by running 211.63 in the final.

Following a 6.568-second first round pass, which backs up Anderson’s record-breaking run, the three-time Pro Stock champion threw down the history-making 6.528-second pass against V. Gaines in the second round. The record eclipses the old mark of 6.536 seconds set by Anderson nearly two years ago. It’s the first time the Pro Stock national ET record has been broken at the Winternationals since 1997, when Warren Johnson ran 6.927.

“The weather conditions were perfect and so was the track,” Anderson said. “It looks like the things we did over the winter paid off, because these Summit Racing Pontiacs are fast.”

Although Anderson, who had won the last three NHRA Winternationals, lost in the semi-final round, teammate Jason Line kept Summit Racing in the winner’s circle by earning his 16th career victory.
