To celebrate the one-year anniversary of 6-time Pro Stock world champion Greg Anderson joining 16-time Funny Car world champion John Force in the most exclusive club in motorsports, the 1000 Round Win Club, Werner Communications, is releasing the first licensed autograph product celebrating this achievement. Signed by both Force and Anderson, this limited edition, 1 of 1,000-piece collectible features the iconic photos from the top end of the racetrack moments after each driver recorded their 1,000th round win in professional drag racing with the date and location of the accomplishment. Each piece comes in a clear acrylic desktop frame with a certificate of authenticity.
“I wanted to celebrate the anniversary of Greg’s accomplishment and link two of the greatest drivers in drag racing history into one amazing collectible,” said Elon Werner, president of Werner Communications. “The photos capture the historic moment and having the two signatures on the same piece of memorabilia makes this a one-of-a-kind collectible that any motorsports fan would love to add to his or her collection. The fact we are only producing 1,000 pieces makes this and even more desirable piece of sports history.”
Fans can pre-order the signed collectible here for $75 plus shipping and handling.
Prior to the 2025 Mission Foods Drag Racing Series Awards Ceremony Force and Anderson were installed as the first two members of the 1000 Round Win Club. They each received custom embroidered tuxedo jackets as well as framed certificates of membership into arguably the most exclusive achievement club in motorsports.
“The 1000 Round Win Club recognizes the elite of the elite in NHRA drag racing,” said Werner, following the presentation. “Turning on 1,000 win lights is a testament to more than just longevity, it represents dominance, excellence and perseverance. I was present at the top end for each of these drivers to achieve this milestone. I will never forget the emotion and sense of accomplishment John and Greg exhibited.”
The framed certificate of membership presented to each driver in November highlighted the spirit of what it means to be a member of the 1000 Round Win Club.
“This remarkable milestone places you amongst the elite of elite in motorsports. The world of motorsports celebrates this achievement with you and your team, as it is a testament to your enduring excellence, perseverance and legendary career.”
Force was the first driver to achieve this milestone when he won his 1,000th round of professional racing on May 4, 2008, during the 12th annual O’Reilly NHRA Midwest Nationals presented by Castrol at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois. Force ultimately won 1,460 rounds of professional racing before officially announcing his retirement prior to the 2025 In-N-Out NHRA Finals.
Last year at Bristol Dragway Anderson joined Force when he turned on his 1,000th round win light of NHRA professional racing on June 8, 2025, during the 24th annual Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals. Anderson has continued to add to his total amassing 1,040 round wins through the 2026 New England Nationals this season.
“We are opening up this special collectible for sale now, and will ship the pieces in early July,” said Werner. “Getting to properly celebrate the anniversary of Greg’s accomplishment was a priority for us. As a father myself, I also think this would make a fantastic Father’s Day gift for the racing-obsessed dads in your life. I am genuinely excited for the future of the 1000 Round Win Club, I think we have the potential to continue to release other cool collectibles as more drivers enter the club.”
As the caretaker of the 1000 Round Win Club Werner Communications will continue to explore unique opportunities to celebrate these two drag racing legends. Currently the closest professional driver to be eligible for membership to the 1000 Round Win Club is 3-time Funny Car world champion Ron Capps who has 954 round wins though the first eight national events of the season.
