Three-time and reigning Pro Stock world champion Anderson won his 36th race of the last 70 national events in convincing fashion, dismissing challenger Edwards with a 6.665 at 207.75 mph. Anderson's elapsed time in his Summit Racing Pontiac GTO equaled the track mark he set in qualifying, and his top speed set an Auto Club Raceway record.
"It's not as easy as it looks, I swear," Anderson said. "I'm sorry if I'm boring [the media], but we've just been on such a roll over the last few years. It's still a struggle and I lose sleep every night worrying about what everyone else is doing, but we've managed to stay ahead.
"I think when we ran the 6.66 in qualifying it kind of knocked the wind out of everyone else's sails. It got in their heads. But really it will just make them angry, and they'll come out hungry in Phoenix. We have a long way to go this year, but we're off to a great start."
An 11-time winner on tour, Edwards has now gone three and a half years without a victory. But after two years of finishing outside the POWERade top 10, his second-place ranking in the points should soothe the pain.
The Young Life racer looked great all day, averaging a .023-second reaction time in his four eliminations rounds. His best start was a .006-second launch against Kurt Johnson, which yielded a 6.733- to 6.718-second holeshot win.
Anderson's victims included Bob Panella, "Tricky Rickie" Smith, and Larry Morgan.
