Weather was the predominant story of the final day of qualifying for the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals
in Indianapolis, IN, as rain curtailed the day's activities to a single attempt late on Sunday
afternoon, with the higher temperatures and humidity precluding any changes at the top of the Pro
Stock starting order. As a result, Summit Racing Pontiac driver Jason Line's 6.620-second20time
from Saturday remained his run of record, earning the Terrell, NC resident the second starting
position for Monday's final eliminations at O'Reilly Raceway Park.
However, Line's 6.633-second pass on Sunday, which was the second among the 29 cars making an
attempt, left him cautiously optimistic about his chances of reversing his fortunes at the Hoosier
state quarter-mile and adding a U.S. Nationals win to his racing resume.
"We made a pretty good run with our Summit Racing Pontiac today," said Line. "In fact, it was the
best one we had made in qualifying, which is obviously the way you want to go into eliminations.
With the progress we've made, I feel good about our chances for tomorrow.
"However, we still have some work to do to make the other Summit cars (driven by teammate Greg
Anderson and Ronnie Humphrey) as happy as this one. Fortunately, we know we have a good car for
race day, and if I can let the clutch out on time four times tomorrow, I might just turn my
Indianapolis luck around."
