Anderson, the three-time NHRA Pro Stock world champion and the 2005 Speed
Channel Driver of the Year, has now won three consecutive national events and
five overall this season to continue to add to his points lead. In addition
to the Mopar Mile-High NHRA Nationals, Anderson also won the Summit Racing
Equipment NHRA Nationals and the NHRA Supernationals.
KB Racing is one of the most successful teams in professional motor
sports. After winning the 2003 championship with Anderson as the team driver,
KB Racing added a second car with Jason Line in the driver seat for the 2004
season. The team continued their success with Anderson wining the 2004
championship and Line taking second place and being named 2004 NHRA Rookie of
The Year. In 2005, Anderson joined an elite group of drivers with a third
straight Pro Stock title and Line took third place. The team's success
continued in 2006 as Line won the championship and Anderson placed second.
KB Racing uses NX(TM) digital product development software to design,
analyze and manufacture new engine components. The team actively trades data
back and forth with its engine shop and uses new data to refine existing
designs.
"Siemens PLM Software congratulates Greg Anderson and KB Racing for
winning three in a row," said Dave Shirk, executive vice president of Global
Marketing for Siemens PLM Software. "Winning consecutive races requires
tremendous focus and commitment, qualities which are common to both KB Racing
and Siemens PLM Software. We are proud of our relationship with the racing
teams and along with our customers are pleased to know that our solutions help
the teams succeed."
