Magic Dry Organic Absorbent NHRA Arizona Nationals Super Comp winner Craig Anderson
Two weeks after opening the season with a Super Comp win in Pomona, Wright reached the final in Phoenix before his 11 round-win streak was snapped by Anderson. Now, a nine-time national event champion, Anderson finished off the job with a .018 light and an 8.918 that put him .0022-second ahead of Wright at the finish line. Craig Anderson, also a national event champion in Super Gas, used an 8.907 run in the quarterfinals to beat Rick Milinazzo to earn a bye into the final. The Texas-based Anderson also stopped Mallory Reis and Jeff Beckman in eliminations.
