Anderson is 8-4 against KJ in his career. More importantly, he is 4-0 in finals, with all of those wins coming this year. These two have been the top two drivers in Pro Stock all year long. By the way, the NHRA record for round wins in a season by a professional driver is 65, set by John Force. Anderson has 62 coming into this round. Also, a win by Anderson would tie Darrell Alderman for the most event wins (11) by a Pro Stock driver in one season.

Another awesome performance by Anderson, as he overcomes the holeshot and wins for the 11th time in 2003, and sets both ends of the track record in the process.

Greg Anderson's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.037), 330 ft(-0.024), 660ft(-0.013), 1,000ft(-0.002). MOV: 0.0077 seconds (approximately 2 feet).
