ABOUT GREG ANDERSON

Six-time world champion drag racer Greg Anderson, born and raised in Duluth, Minn., campaigns the HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro out of the KB Titan Racing shop in Mooresville, N.C. The productive partnership between Anderson and Hendrick Automotive Group launched in the second half of 2021 and immediately generated race wins that would culminate in a world championship. In 2024, Anderson followed up with another NHRA series title for the Hendrick team with a steady, experienced approach in an incredible to-the-wire battle with a younger generation of racers.

The veteran racer first licensed in NHRA Pro Stock in 1995 and made his driving debut in Columbus three years later. His first victory came in 2001 in Bristol, and heading into the 2026 season of NHRA Pro Stock, the most winning driver in the history of the class has amassed at total of 112 national event wins. Notably, Anderson is the second-most winning professional driver in NHRA history, behind only Funny Car legend John Force. Diving into the history of this world-class competitor, Anderson was first introduced to the sport by his father, Rod Anderson, who raced Modified Eliminator in NHRA’s West Central Division. The younger Anderson helped his father at the racetrack as a youth, and his first official job in racing was in 1979 with Pro Stock driver John Hagen, a family friend and fellow Division 5 campaigner. Tragically, Hagen lost his life in a racing incident at Brainerd International Raceway in 1983, and the event had great impact on Anderson. He stepped away from the sport, but drag racing, as it does, called him back. Anderson's Pro Stock career took new root as a crew member – and then crew chief – for fellow Minnesotan Warren Johnson, and he was on board for 12 seasons and three of Johnson's six NHRA championships (1992, 1993, and 1995). Anderson would never forfeit the wrenches, but in 1998, he had the opportunity to drive a Pro Stock car for his father-in-law, Troy Humphrey. The experience led to a stint as part-time driver and consultant for Mark Pawuk’s Pro Stock team. Las Vegas-based Ken Black, along with then-partner George Marnell, hired Anderson as crew chief and part-time driver in 2001, and the chemistry was immediately evident. KB Racing was officially formed by Black with Anderson in 2002, and crew chief Rob Downing was added to the mix in 2003 to form solid footing for a team that would blaze into history. KB Racing and Titan Racing merged to form KB Titan Racing in 2023. Three years later, Anderson's son Cody joined the powerful, historic team. In 2026, there is more history to be made. Anderson and his HendrickCars.com Chevrolet lead the charge as the team pursues a 12th world championship.
