After placing 10th on the first day of qualifying at the Mile-High Nationals, Jason Line and the
Summit Racing team were determined to rebound strongly on Saturday. After analyzing the data from
their opening runs, the necessary adjustments were made, with their work paying immediate
dividends. Improving on each of his two attempts, Line completed his qualifying effort with the
third-quickest time of the final session at 6.990-seconds with a top speed of 197.42 mph to earn
the fourth starting spot for Sunday's final eliminations.
"On each run today, we were directionally correct," said Line. "That last run was decent, by far
the best our Summit Racing Pontiac had made throughout qualifying. There's a little more left in
the car, but tomorrow's conditions are going to be way different. It's cool to make a six-second
run here at Bandimere, but the really good news is that it earned us a decent qualifying spot.
"Overall, we're not bad, we're just not as fast as we would like. ; It's one of those deals where
the car is not completely happy, but it's getting there, and I think we should be in decent shape
for tomorrow, and if we do our jobs, we will certainly have a shot at winning the race. It might
take a little luck, but I don't think we've burned up a lot of that, so tomorrow might be a good
day to cash in and get our first win in Denver."
