"Today's announcement was great news for us," said Anderson, a thre e-time champion and winner of 58 national events. "We love this racetrack, we love the city, we love working here, and we love racing here. I thank Bruton Smith every day for what he built here - it's the nicest track on the circuit. It was a dream come true for us to get the first race, so to get a second home race is obviously more than we could imagine.

"With our Summit Racing team based in Mooresville, this is a busy race for us, with a couple added distractions being so close to home, but I'd rather sleep in my bed any time. Being right in our backyard, zMAX is a track where we'll test a lot so we should be able to come up with a race winning combination that we'll be able to use twice a year."

"I can s um it up in one word - sweet," added Line, the 2006 champion who sits second in the 2009 Pro Stock standings. "I am a homebody, so anything that keeps me at home makes me very happy. zMAX Dragway is a beautiful track, and considering we're in the heart of NASCAR country, the reception by the fans to this race has been really great. It couldn't be better than having a second race here."
