Las Vegas (Oct. 31, 2021) – Greg Anderson has shown the colors of a champion throughout the 2021 season, and in the rare moments when he hasn't been at peak performance, the most winning driver in the history of Pro Stock has had his HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro to rely on. This weekend, at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, it was Anderson's teammate who stepped up to knock out a competitor who is pulling out all the stops in an effort to defeat the four-time world champion.

Kyle Larson, who started first in the 500-lap race at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday, led the first 55 laps before being passed by Hendrick Motorsports teammate Chase Elliott. After fast work by the No. 5 HendrickCars.com pit crew during a lap-60 caution, Larson won the race off pit road and again paced the field to the restart. But he was passed by Elliott on lap 85 and trailed his teammate across the finish line when stage one ended at lap 130.
