MOORESVILLE, NC (October 26, 2016) – Team Summit Racing drivers Jason Line and Greg Anderson are the top two contenders for the 2016 NHRA Pro Stock Championship.

It’s very important that we close the season in the first and second spots.

DALLAS WIN VITAL FOR TEAM SUMMIT RACING’S
NHRA CHAMPIONSHIP BID

Mooresville, NC (October 11, 2016) – Team Summit Racing hopes to move a step closer to winning the 2016 NHRA Pro Stock Championship this weekend at the AAA Texas NHRA FallNationals at the Texas Motorplex in Dallas.

Only three races remain in the 2016 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series. Jason Line is currently first in Pro Stock points with teammate Greg Anderson close behind in second.

“There’s a lot of racing left. I’m not going to count my chickens before they’ve hatched,” Line said. “There are a lot of things that can happen in the next month. It would be great to win Sunday in Dallas—it would mean I earned more points than anybody else that day.”

Line has won twice in Dallas and Anderson has won four times. Anderson also currently holds the Texas Motorplex track records in Pro Stock for elapsed time (6.457 seconds) and speed (214.59 MPH), which he set at 2015’s event.

“The number one thing with me is we earn more points than our competition this weekend. That’s what we need to get done and extend our points lead,” Anderson said. “We’ve got 3 races to go; that’s 12 rounds of racing. We’re testing this week so we can get everything refined and can show up in Dallas with a performance edge.”

One question Line and Anderson have constantly been asked this season: what does it mean having your Summit Racing teammate as your closest competition for the NHRA Championship?

“If it was just Greg, that would be really, really good. It would be great. But we’re racing other people as well and they are close in points,” Line said.

“So far we are still one and two. That is absolutely the best scenario for us to finish,” Anderson said. “I want to be number one, he wants to be number one. That’s what we’re going to fight for. If we end up one and two, we will be able to live with that just fine.”

Team Summit Nitro Funny Car driver Tim Wilkerson is also a past winner at the Texas Motorplex. Wilkerson is the only independent driver in the hunt for the 2016 NHRA Championship. He is currently seventh in the points standings and it looking to climb even higher during the next three races.

“I think our high points ranking is a tribute to my team and the work they put in day-in and day-out,” Wilkerson said. “It shows the quality of the work and the quantity of time they put in. I’m optimistic we can finish out the season in an even higher spot.”

TEAM SUMMIT RACING GOES FOR WIN 16 IN QUEST FOR CHAMPIONSHIP

St. Louis, MO (September 21, 2016) – Team Summit Racing Pro Stock team heads to the AAA NHRA Midwest Nationals this weekend with a comfortable points lead. Drivers Jason Line and Greg Anderson want to keep it that way as they compete for the NHRA Mello Yello Championship.

After winning the first race of the NHRA Countdown to the Championship in Charlotte on Sunday, Line and Anderson, not taking anything for granted, were back at the track testing their Chevrolet Camaros on Monday

“We have three races in a row and not a lot of time to test. This was a golden opportunity since we live here. It’s close, convenient and we won’t have a chance after two or three races to get testing in,” Anderson said. “The competition right now is really close. We’re hoping to gain a performance edge going into St. Louis.”

Line has eight wins this season and Anderson has seven. With only five races left, both drivers want to finish strong and win the NHRA Pro Stock Championship.

“We have run well all year and the first part of the season we were faster than the other cars. To not win the championship would certainly hurt,” Line said. “This is a team effort. I want to win and I’ll be happy if Greg or Bo (Butner) wins.”

The AAA NHRA Midwest Nationals is a home event for Springfield, Illinois-based Nitro Funny Car driver Tim Wilkerson. Expect to see a lot of his die-hard fans, known as “Wilk’s Warriors,” at the track this weekend.

“We’re happy to be that close to home and excited to see all our friends and do the best that we can to keep advancing rounds,” Wilkerson said. “But it’s going to be stressful, too. Brian Stewart’s running, and my son Daniel will be working on his car. Dick Levi is going to bring all his closest friends. We want to win for all of our fans.”
