NORWALK, Ohio (AP) — Greg Anderson raced to his first Pro Stock victory of the season Sunday at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals.

The three-time champion pocketed more than $125,000 for the weekend by sweeping eliminations Sunday and Saturday’s K&N Horsepower Challenge all-star event, which includes a $25,000 bonus.

Anderson outran Allen Johnson in the final round for his 61st career victory. Anderson’s Pontiac GXP posted a winning performance of 6.722 seconds at a top speed of 204.54 mph to hold off Johnson’s Dodge Avenger, which slowed at mid-track and finished in 6.982 at 159.38.

Larry Dixon (Top Fuel), Tim Wilkerson (Funny Car) and Matt Smith (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also were winners at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park.
