Jason Line ends qualifying No. 5

POMONA, Calif. (February 11, 2006) - Jason Line drove his KB Racing 
LLC/Summit Racing Equipment Pro Stock Pontiac GTO, to the No. 5 
qualifying position on the final qualifying ladder for the 
season-opening NHRA CARQUEST Auto Parts Winternationals.

The best of four runs for Line was a 6.689 seconds at 206.95 mph over 
the Auto Club Raceway at Pomona quarter-mile track.  In the opening 
round of eliminations tomorrow, Line will face Greg Stanfield.  
Stanfield qualified No. 12 with a pass of 6.710 seconds.

"So far so good," said Line after qualifying ended.  "The weather is 
nice, we're running decent.  We've got one car on the pole, so we're 
halfway there.  Now we just need to finish the job.  We're still rusty 
for sure, but we're headed in the right direction.  We're starting out a 
little bit better than we did last year.  I've got no complaints, though 
we definitely have room for improvement on the runs.  I'm pretty happy 
right now."

Line's teammate, three-time Pro Stock POWERade champion Greg Anderson, 
qualified his KB Racing LLC/Summit Racing Equipment Pontiac GTO in the 
No. 1 position.

Line begins his quest for the CarQuest Winternationals Pro Stock title 
on Sunday with eliminations for all classes beginning at 11 a.m.  All 
times are local Pomona time (PST) and subject to change at anytime.
