GREG ANDERSON GETS FIRST PICK FOR GETTRX PRO STOCK ALL-STAR CALLOUT AT SUMMIT RACING EQUIPMENT NHRA NATIONALS
NORWALK, Ohio (June 25, 2026) – The Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals is always a special race for six-time Pro Stock world champion Greg Anderson and this year’s trip to Summit Motorsports Park gives him a chance to add two more trophies to his extensive collection: the GETTRX Pro Stock All-Star Callout trophy and another NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series Diamond Wally.
Anderson, named one of NHRA Top 75 drivers, will have his pick of opponents in the eight-car field of the GETTRX Pro Stock All-Star Callout bonus race. He won the 2024 Callout and currently leads the Pro Stock points in his HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro. To top it all off, he’ll be looking for his fourth career victory in Norwalk.
“Well, any grudges you have against any other racer, you get to act on,” said Anderson. “At least in my case, I get first choice to pick out who I would like to try and even the score with or settle a score with – like a grudge match. So that’s always fun, and you don’t have to depend on any ladder to see who you get matched up with. You can decide who you want to race, so that’s cool to me. That’s fun, and it adds another layer of excitement that we don’t get at national events.”
Last year, Justin Ashley (Top Fuel), Austin Prock (Funny Car), Cory Reed (Pro Stock) and John Hall (Pro Stock Motorcycle) all won the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals. This year’s race will again be broadcast on FOX, with qualifying and the GETTRX Pro Stock NHRA All-Star Callout coverage on FS1 and eliminations on FOX at 5:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, June 28.
It is the 10th of 20 races during the 2026 season and this weekend’s event also features the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge in Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock Motorcycle.
The GETTRX Pro Stock All-Star Callout kicks off on Friday when Anderson makes his pick. Anderson and his KB Titan teammates will be up against their longtime rivals from Elite Motorsports, with KB Titan having the higher seeds. Anderson will have his pick of the field that includes reigning champion Dallas Glenn, Eric Latino, last year’s Callout winner Matt Hartford, Greg Stanfield, six-time champion Erica Enders, Chicago winner Aaron Stanfield and five-time champion Jeg Coughlin.
“You go with whoever you really enjoy racing or really enjoy trying to extract blood from,” Anderson said. “I’m not going to tell you right now who I’m going to pick, but I know who I’m going to pick, and we’ll find out on Friday. It will be fun. May the best person win.”
Summit Motorsports Park has long been a special track for Anderson and the KB Titan Racing team. The team’s long partnership with Summit Racing Equipment gives the fan-favorite event an additional layer of excitement. Not only will the race winner the Diamond Wally trophy, but each event winner will also take home a billet aluminum ice cream scoop — a longstanding tradition at Summit Motorsports Park.
“There is always motivation in this race and we get to do it in front of our great sponsor, Summit Racing Equipment, at that beautiful racetrack that says Summit all over it. It just adds something extra and it’s a bigger deal at the end of the day if you find a way to win,” said Anderson. “Every time I race at Norwalk, I just love to perform in front of our great sponsor, Summit, and all the great employees from there. It should be a great weekend and we want to go show off. They get to tune in and watch across the land when we go across country and race on TV, but there’s nothing like being there. They’ll all be there this weekend.”
