Anderson was going for his 98th career victory to set the all-time wins mark in Pro Stock, but Koretsky chased him down at the finish line. Koretsky knocked off Cristian Cuadra, rookie Dallas Glenn, who won the spring race in Charlotte, and Wally Stroupe to reach the final round, and then finished the job in thrilling fashion to earn his first career win in his 21st career start after coming up short in three previous final rounds.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_35805\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racedaysa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/331-KyleKoretsky-Trophy-Sunday-Charlotte2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"35805\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/racedaysa.com\/index.php\/2021\/09\/19\/tim-wilkerson-josh-hart-kyle-koretsky-and-angelle-sampey-earn-wins-at-dewalt-nhra-carolina-nationals\/nhra-drag-racing-26\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racedaysa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/331-KyleKoretsky-Trophy-Sunday-Charlotte2.jpg?fit=2200%2C1467&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2200,1467\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;photo by Auto Imagery, Inc.&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;2021 DeWalt NHRA Carolina Nationals&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1632080827&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9 2021 Auto Imagery, Inc.&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;40&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.000625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;NHRA Drag Racing&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"NHRA Drag Racing\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Kyle Koretsky. 2021 DeWalt NHRA Carolina Nationals.
