GM still a NHRA player?

| | Comments (0) |

Greg Anderson, who qualified No. 1 in Pro Stock with a 6.634, said he's yet to here if he will be running a General Motors Corporation-backed entry next season.
"We're still trying to hear from them," said Anderson, who pilots a Pontiac GXP. "It's just hard to say."
Jeg Coughlin Jr., who won his second series title this year driving a Chevy Cobalt, is under the impression that he will still be in a bow-tie next season.
"We'd like to see them continue in the sport," Coughlin said. "We feel like NHRA drag racing is a great place for General Motors, and a great value. Just look at the Chevy Colbalt - the leading selling GM car has turned on the win light a number of times on the track, so we're looking forward to having them back on board in 2009.
"As of right now, everything is a go. We're a go, with or without them. They've been good to this sport, so we look for them to stay."
