Albury's Grant Anderson finds winning feeling in Sprintcar Series

It’s been a season of highs so far for the 38-year-old, who, in addition to his maiden WSS round win, managed to come away with a solid sixth-place finish in last month’s prestigious Grand Annual Classic at Warrnambool’s Premier Speedway.

Continuing that front-running form during the outing at Heartland Raceway after over a month out of the driver’s seat, Anderson did well to navigate his way through the demanding track conditions, qualifying on pole position for the 30-lap feature race and going on to lead each one of them to claim a well-deserved win.

“The team and I couldn’t be happier that we’ve been able to continue building on our momentum this season and this win is another great reward for the entire team and a testament to all of their hard work,” said Anderson, who was the only driver to break into the 14-second bracket during the feature race.

“I was able to show good speed from the outset and we were able to carry that through to the feature race where everything ultimately came together for us and we came away with the win.”

Picking up a win and a third-place finish in his heat races, the Albury-based driver was sitting second in points heading into the Gold Shootout, where he managed to secure pole position start for the feature race.

Now heading into the tail end of the 2018-19 season, Anderson is looking forward to seeing what else he and his team can achieve when they take to the track.

Their next appearance being the Eureka Garages and Sheds Series grand final at Premier Speedway on the Saturday, March 16.

“We’ve still got a number of race meetings left on our calendar down in Victoria, which includes the Easter Trail, and we’re hoping that we can continue our current form and pick up more front-running results to see the season out,” Anderson added.
