Line retains point lead heading to Sonoma

KENT, Wash. (July 23, 2006) - Running what was the quickest pass of the 
opening round, Jason Line, driver of the KB Racing LLC, Summit Racing 
Equipment Pontiac GTO, left the starting line too soon ending his day at 
this weekend's 19th annual NHRA Schuck's Auto Supply Nationals at 
Pacific Raceways, in Kent, Wash.

Paired against Max Naylor, Line left 15 thousandths of a second too 
soon, negating a pass of 6.741 seconds.  Ironically, it took Naylor 
16.115 seconds to reach the finish line for the win.

"Any driver out here hates to red light and I'm no exception," said 
Line, who qualified No. 1.  "But there are a couple positives about this 
weekend that stand out today.  One: both Greg's (Anderson) and my Summit 
Pontiac GTOs ran well the entire weekend.  Two: we left here with the 
point lead and Greg is second.  That's awesome.  We're both generating 
good power.  I had low elapsed time of the opening round and Greg was 
second quickest.  I can't wait to get to the next race."

Line leaves Seattle with the NHRA POWERade point lead.  Of the top ten 
drivers in the point standings entering this event, only two made it to 
the second round.  Line continues to lead the POWERade Pro Stock point 
standings and leaves Seattle with 935 points.   His teammate Anderson is 
second with 910 points, 25 behind the leader.  Dave Connolly continues 
to hold third with 879 points, 56 behind Line and 31 behind Anderson.    

Line and his KB Racing LLC-owned, Summit Racing Equipment Pontiac GTO 
team now head for the Napa Valley wine country when the third and final 
race of the Western Swing - three back-to-back-to-back races in Denver, 
Seattle, and Sonoma - hit the Infineon Raceway quarter-mile track in 
Sonoma, Calif., for the 19th annual NHRA FRAM Autolite Nationals, next 
weekend (July 28-30). 

ESPN2 will air same-day television coverage of eliminations for the 19th 
annual NHRA Schuck's Auto Supply Nationals from 8 until 11 p.m. (Sunday, 
July 23). The elimination show repeats early Monday morning (July 24) 
from 2:30-4:30 a.m.  Television times are Eastern Time (ET) and subject
