Sun, 2009-03-29 08:00
Jason Line stormed to the top of the pack in the Saturday morning 
session during the NHRA O'Reilly Springnationals,
setting a new track record with a run of 6.554 seconds, 211.49 mph.
Line’s E.T. held up, however team mate Greg Anderson set a national
speed record. Anderson was clocked through the traps at 211.89 mph,
breaking the old mark which was held by Line.
“Somebody asked me if I was upset about him breaking my speed record,” answered Line, adding, “but, it’s better that it’s him than somebody else because I do help work on that car. It gives all of us a little pride.” Jason Line stormed to the top of the pack in the Saturday morningsession during the NHRA O'Reilly Springnationals,

Anderson’s stellar run, in the final qualifying round, was enough to vault him into the field in the third spot, just behind Friday’s fastest driver, Kurt Johnson.
Line was unable to improve on his mark in the second round, which was not that important as even stiffer winds slowed most of the field, all except Anderson.
“The last session should have been just as fast because we thought the track would be a lot better but it really wasn’t,” Line stated. “All in all we made some really decent runs today and we have a real good car for tomorrow. The fact that Greg went up there and made a great run to get in the show was good because he wasn’t in it until then.
“All in all it was a good day for us.”
Warmer temperatures are predicted for Sunday, yet Line believes speeds and times will be slower.
“Yeah I think so,” agreed Line when asked if times would be slower on Sunday. “But I think you’ll see some good racing and it’ll actually be good conditions to race in. Hopefully we can put two Summit cars in the finals. You’re going to see some close racing tomorrow though.
