Greg Anderson is quite accustomed to being first.

The four-time Pro Stock world champion had a staggering 78 career wins heading into the 2016 NHRA season, but career win #79 at last weekend's season-opening NHRA Winternationals will stand out as one of the most memorable and impressive of his career. It wasn't a record-breaking performance or milestone win, but Anderson did make history, becoming the first NHRA Pro Stock driver to win in an EFI (electronic fuel injection) car.

"I'm honored," Anderson said, following the race. "I feel honored to be the recipient of the first trophy in the new fuel injected era."

This "first" was particularly satisfying for the Summit Racing-sponsored/KB Racing driver.

The win followed an off-season like no other for Anderson, Team Summit, and the entire Pro Stock class. A class-altering set of new NHRA rules required that all teams move from the traditional carbureted Pro Stock setup to an NHRA-specified throttle body fuel injection system with a 10,500 rpm rev limiter. Many observers felt the change would be especially challenging to Anderson and the KB Racing team because of the team's tendency to run its engines at higher speeds.
