PRO STOCK

Jason Line and the Summit Racing team made an impressive return to the winner's circle, taking home the Pro Stock title. Starting from the second position, Line eliminated Ron Krisher, Vincent Nobile and Rodger Brogdon in the early rounds before squaring off against teammate Greg Anderson in the final.

Although Anderson was able to gain a slight four thousandths of a second advantage at the starting line, Line used a 6.553-second, 210.87-mph pass to edge his teammate, who covered the quarter mile in 6.567 seconds with a top speed of 211.13 mph, at the stripe. It was Line's fourth win of the 2011 season, second at Pacific Raceways, and allowed him to regain the lead in the Full Throttle Championship standings.

"Today was just a great day for the entire Summit Racing team, said Line. "All weekend long, my team gave me an awesome car to drive, and I came into Sunday feeling that if I did my job and didn't screw things up, we'd be standing in the winner's circle at the end of the day, and that is exactly what happened.

"Just before the final, Greg came up to me and gave me this sad story about how much faster I was, and how much better I was driving, but I wouldn't have any of it. After all, he is the best, he's the champion, the one with the big number one on his window, so I knew I couldn't cut him any slack.

“As it was, he had his best light of the day (a .016 to Line's equally strong .020), and it took a really great run to beat him. He is so tough in the final round that you can never count him out, but today we were fortunate enough to get the best of him."
