Line No. 2 at Infineon Raceway

SONOMA, Calif. (July 29, 2006) - Running a career best elapsed time of 
6.636 seconds in Saturday's morning qualifying session, Jason Line, who 
drives the KB Racing LLC-owned, Summit Racing Equipment-backed Pontiac 
GTO, qualified in the No. 2 position at this weekend's NHRA FRAM 
Autolite National.    

"I was happy with the morning run but the car went hard left, so we 
didn't take full advantage of the pass," said Line, following 
qualifying.  "We have more left in the Summit Racing Pontiac and that's 
good.  We know there's a little more out there but (teammate) Greg 
(Anderson) and I are one-two (in qualifying) and that's the good thing.  
Plus, we're on the opposite side of the ladder."    

In tomorrow's opening round, Line faces Mark Pawuk, who qualified No. 15 
(6.693/206.73). Entering eliminations, Line, who holds the top spot in 
the NHRA POWERade Pro Stock point standings, leads the second place Greg 
Anderson by 24 points and third place Dave Connolly by 62 points.

Line begins his quest for the FRAM Autolite Nationals Pro Stock title on 
Sunday, July 30, with eliminations for all classes beginning at 12 noon. 
Prior to the start of Sunday's event, Line joins other NHRA/POWERade 
Drag Racing Series drivers for a fan appreciation autograph session that 
will take place from 9 to 9:45 a.m. on the Infineon Raceway road course, 
next to the drag strip, in front of the start/finish grandstand.  All 
times are local Sonoma time (PT) and subject to change at  anytime.

can be seen on ESPN2 on Saturday (July 29) from 8 to 10 p.m.  ESPN2 will
