Line tries to clinch PS championship from No. 1 position

LAS VEGAS (October 28, 2006) - Running a 6.705-second track record 
elapsed time, Jason Line qualified his KB Racing LLC-owned, Summit 
Racing Equipment-backed Pontiac GTO in the No. 1 spot for tomorrow's 
eliminations at the NHRA ACDelco Las Vegas Nationals.

"It was a great day and I didn't think about the points thing," said 
Line, who needs to go one round further than teammate Greg Anderson to 
clinch the 2006 NHRA POWERade Pro Stock Championship.  "Tomorrow should 
be a really interesting day for all of us. If I win a couple of round 
tomorrow it would be great.  I'd like to win four.

"We're on the same side of the ladder with Greg and if both of us win 
we'd meet in the semis.  We definitely have a good racecar.  We have 
Warren Johnson in the first round and he a champion of all champions and 
I guess if you want to be one you have to beat one.  So it's a good 
first round match up for sure.

"(With me running Greg for the championship) it's a new situation for us 
to be in.  We try to put ourselves in each other's shoes.  We're both 
handling it in an adult way.  The bottom line is that we're teammates 
and friends.  It's all good and will make us a better team."    

It is his sixth No. 1 of 2006 for Line and 10th of his career.  Of 
special note is that a KB Racing LLC / Summit Racing Equipment Pontiac 
GTO has been in the top spot 17 times in 22 races -- Line (6), teammate 
Greg Anderson (11).    

After Line set national records for elapsed time and speed at the last 
race in Richmond, the elapsed times and speeds at The Strip at Las Vegas 
Motor Speedway, a track that has the second highest elevation on the 
NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series circuit, seem slower and the are due to 
the altitude.

Including qualifying here at the ACDelco Las Vegas Nationals, Line leads 
the NHRA POWERade Pro Stock point standing by 122 points.  If Line 
leaves with an advantage of 139 points or better, there is no way that 
Anderson can catch Line.

Line begins his quest for the ACDelco Las Vegas Nationals Pro Stock 
title tomorrow, with eliminations for all classes beginning at 11 a.m. 
(PT).  First round opponent Warren Johnson qualified No. 16 with a pass 
of 6.769 seconds.  The pair have met seven times with Johnson winning four.
