Greg Anderson lists his first year in racing as 1987. As he is only 22, some quick math tells you he’s been racing just slightly less than all his life! Born in Sacramento, Greg began life destined to become a third-generation racer. By the age of five, the son of long-time sprint car campaigner, Wendell Anderson was traveling the western U.S. racing Quarter Midgets. Early starts in racing are nothing new to the Anderson family. His dad and uncles Billy and Johnny also started racing quarter midgets as kids before becoming noted oval track stars and young Greg wants nothing less than to become a driving star in his own right.

The Anderson family history touches nearly every form of motor sports from quarter midgets, go-karts, midgets, sprinters, champ cars, supermodifieds and yes, even Indy cars. Greg has added even more types of racing to this extensive list. On top of winning over a hundred quarter midget races and 5 track championships before he was 12, Anderson raced Micro-sprints for two years where at the STP Nationals in Tulsa, OK he won a preliminary race and finished 5th in the feature – the youngest driver in the field.

Go-karts and Legend cars were the next vehicles to be ushered into victory lane by the now “veteran” 14 year old. Karts provided road-course experience and the Legend series added the foundation for his next endeavor, the Nor-Cal Touring series, where in 1997 Greg was named Rookie of the Year finishing fifth in the series.

Now 16, Greg Anderson was finally old enough to get his drivers license; necessary for his next stop, NASCAR Winston Racing Series Late Models where Greg finished 10th in points. In 1999 Greg competed in the Tri-State Open Comp Late Models, was a full-time crewmember on a NAPA Winston West team, polished his skills as an auto body painter, and attended high school! The 2000 season found Greg with the Featherlite Southwest Tour and NASCAR Super Late Model Series where he honored with two awards, the Gatorade Front Runner and the Hard Charger Award.

Greg packed his bags and moved to North Carolina in 2002 to compete at the starting grounds of many Nextel Cup stars, Caraway Speedway. Greg captured one pole and had several top 10 finishes before deciding to come home, he now resides in Antelope, CA, and join forces with his dad, Wendell.

Anderson and his dad have assembled a potent CASA sprint car for the 2004 season and hope to travel the western states in pursuit of Greg’s first Sprintcar championship. Greg notes, “The success I’ve experienced in other forms of racing will definitely be to my advantage in my rookie season. I know there will be plenty of competition and I’m up for the challenge!”

Something in young Mister Andersons past assures us he will certainly be up to the challenge during his first Sprintcar season, and the California Asphalt Sprintcar Association is proud to add this talented racer to its roster. (CASA)
