Jason Line experienced both ends of the competitive spectrum during the final day of qualifying for
the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio. On one hand, his Summit Racing
Pontiac GXP continued to be among the best in the ultra-competitive Pro Stock category, with his
6.652-second, 207.46 mph pass in the morning session earning the third qualifying position for
Sunday's final eliminations, one better than his standing after Friday.
However, his reaction was somewhat tempered by his semifinal finish in the K&N Horsepower Challenge
specialty race, where his solid 6.684-second, 206.89 mph pass allowed teammate Greg Anderson to
narrowly advance.
"We definitely got better today, but we still didn't have the type of day we were looking for,"
said Line. "We made a good run against Kurt (Johnson) in the first round and had a good race
against Greg (Anderson) in the semifinals. Unfortunately we just didn't make the run we needed
to, shaking the tires just a little, and it cost us.
"The good news is that we get to try again tomorrow, and we have a car that is capable of winning
the race. After all, this is Summit's race and we have to do whatever it takes to get one of
these Summit GXPs in the winner's circle."
