PRO STOCK

The final round in Pro Stock.

Sunday’s victory marks the 40th career Pro Stock win for Jason Line. This was also the fifth straight final round this season for the two-time Pro Stock world champion. Line came into race day the No.3 qualifier with a 6.584 E.T. at 211.10 mph.

“It’s really a big deal and exciting to win here at home. It is tough to win the four-wide and I have never won the four-wide. I won’t say that I don’t like it, but I have never been very successful at this race,” said Line. “We are taking a lot of pride in this win because we probably had more changes to make engine-wise, than everybody else did. So it feels very good and it is special and as you get older; you realize how difficult it is to win these races and it becomes more and more special.”

In the final round quad, Line posted a winning time of 6.565/211.33 in his Summit Racing Equipment Chevy Camaro and finished in front of teammate Bo Butner, who trailed with a 6.591/210.77 in his Jim Butner Auto Camaro. Drew Skillman and Chris McGaha, also driving Camaros, were third and fourth in the quad final.

Line made his way to the final by beating Kenny Delco, Vincent Nobile and V. Gaines in the opening quad and then held off Skillman, Delco and defending world champ Erica Enders in the round two quad.

Line leaves the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals No. 1 in points in the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series Standings.
