ps 2Former world champion Pro Stock driver Jason Line felt he had a good car Sunday morning at the Sonoma (Calif.) Nationals.

His feeling was right.

Line drove his Summit Racing Equipment Chevy Camaro to victory by defeating V. Gaines in the final round.

Line clocked a 6.548-second lap at 211.73 mph. Gaines came in at 6.564 seconds at 211.30 mph.

Line also made history in the process, getting the 200th Pro Stock win for Chevrolet.

"200 is really cool actually," Line said. “I’m not big on looking back and seeing what we have done, but 200 is really cool. I'm very proud to represent GM and be able to do that. They have certainly given us a lot of support over the years and they still do. So, it is great to give a little something back," said Line, who drives for KB Racing.

This was Line's 33rd career win and second of the season as he also won the season-opening Winternationals.

"As far as my car winning, I would have rated it as good or better than anybody's," said Line about his thoughts Sunday morning. "I have a really good race car right now. I struggled driving this thing. Without question this is the luckiest I have ever been, but I will take some of that because there have been a lot of times when I have done a good job and have not been able to win. Sometimes the luck falls your way and (Sunday) it did for me."

Before meeting Gaines, Line defeated Joey Grose, Jonathan Gray and Dave Connolly. Line also clinched a spot in the Countdown to the Championship with his Sonoma victory.
