On November 14, 2021, drag racer Greg Anderson became the five-time Camping World NHRA Series Pro Stock champion. The victory was celebrated by fans, but the proudest person of all was his wife, Kimberly Anderson.
Greg’s relationship has always been a matter of interest to his fans. So, let’s find out about his wife through this Kimberly Anderson Biography. Scroll down, as this article will reveal more information about her.
Meet Kimberly Anderson, wife of drag racer Greg Anderson
The question of how Kimberly Anderson and Greg Anderson first met remains unanswered. However, after they met and started dating for an unspecified period of time, the couple got married on August 9, 1997. Their marriage produced a son named Cody Anderson who was born on August 24, 1998.
Cody was born in Mooresville, North Carolina. He attended Lake Norman High School. He is currently dating Tamara Lovinelli.
The family spends a lot of time together. When not working on engines or racing, Greg spends time with his wife and kids.
“I work on engines at the shop,” Greg said in an interview with Draglist. “My wife is ready to strangle me because I’m never home. I have a 4-year-old son and a 12-year-old daughter and I don’t see them as much as I want to or should. It sucks and it has to change. Like I said before, I don’t want to get to the point where I don’t work on cars anymore, but I have to spend more time at home because my family is suffering.”
“The sad thing is, if there wasn’t someone doing this every hour of every day, I wouldn’t be here. If I just came home every day and let good enough be good enough, we wouldn’t win the race. It has to be that way, but I have to get to the point where other people can do this work so I can come home sometimes,” he added.
Greg ended the post by saying, “It’s been tough on the family and I have a great family and this has been tough on them. They go to all the races in the summer, but the kids are back in school so they don’t go to many events in the fall. It’s nice to see them at the track. They come to the store, but they don’t stay too long. Kids don’t want to be around dirty stores for long.”
Before meeting Greg, Kim was in a relationship with Steven Michael Kellum. They have a daughter named Brittany Kellum born in 1990.

While we’re at it, let’s take a look at Greg’s racing career. In an interview, Greg revealed that his father raced, a lightweight racer from Minnesota. So, he got his start from his father.
As the years went by, he was unable to compete in national races because he had a full-time job. Because of his racing career, Greg was often away from his family and Greg’s mother did not like him being away from his family so Greg’s father decided to give up and spend more time with his family.
Additionally, his father was very close to John Hagen, who raced Pro Stock cars in Minneapolis. Through his father’s connections, Greg eventually got a job working on John’s cars. He served as John’s crew chief for four or five years before he was killed in a race accident in Brainerd in 1983.
Greg then returned home and began working with his father at his car dealership for nearly three years.
In 1986, Greg went to the Brainerd races just to watch the race where Kurt Johnson and Warren Johnson saw him there. They wanted to see if he wanted to get back into it. They brought him to Georgia and at that time, they moved their shop there where he oversaw the operation. When the opportunity to work with Warren came up, he jumped at the chance.
Greg went to Pomona and that’s how he learned to drive a truck. They worked together for three or four years before Warren decided to part ways. Kurt took over the shop responsibilities while Warren and Greg started racing.
