Anderson Heads Back to Caraway Speedway

Roseville, CA - California's Greg Anderson, who currently resides in Concord, North Carolina, is gearing up for the WAYNE HOMES MAKE-A-WISH 150 Late Model race at Caraway Speedway in Asheboro, N.C. on September 1st. After finishing 6th in last months Craftsman 150 in the #12 Stewart Motorsports Pontiac Grand Prix Late Model, Anderson and car owner Pete Stewart, a Caraway Speedway veteran racer, are gaining momentum after teaming up just two months ago. "We've experienced some problems with the new car early on at Caraway," Anderson said. "The races are usually non-stop, and the car is really good on short runs - it's the long runs that we need to improve on, and that's what we're hoping to do this weekend."

This new team, based out of Archdale, NC, joined forces in June to compete in selected NASCAR Late Model races at Caraway Speedway and other tracks throughout the southeast. With two 6th place finishes and one pole, it didn't take long for Anderson to adapt to this 1/2 mile semi-banked oval and a newly built race car. Anderson said, "Since we debuted the new car at the Firecracker 300 in July, we've been consistently running up front - but the finishes don't show it. We've been testing different shock and spring packages and we are definitely improving."

Anderson and his team are on the right track as they prepare for the longer races coming up later this year, the Taco Bell 300 at Martinsville, and the Mid-Atlantic Championship 400 at Caraway Speedway, where they will definitely be contenders.

Anderson is no stranger to the sport of auto racing. Even though he just turned 20-years-old, 15 of those years were spent behind the wheel of quarter midgets, micro midgets, go-karts, legends, and late models. During the past five years, he has driven for three late model teams and traveled throughout the west and mid-western states. Anderson was also a regular on the NASCAR Featherlite Southwest Tour before recently moving from California to North Carolina.
