Line Wheels Summit Racing Camaro to No. 4 Spot on Day One in Atlanta
 
ATLANTA, Ga., May 16, 2014 – The first day of qualify for the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway is in the books, and Pro Stock driver Jason Line is already representing his sponsor well at their title event. Line powered the Summit Racing Chevrolet Camaro to a best time of 6.540-second at 211.59 mph and is well-positioned as the provisional No. 4 qualifier.
 
Qualifying was slated to begin late in the afternoon, and although clear skies were momentarily swallowed by giant rain clouds and a brief shower doused Atlanta Dragway, the unpleasant weather swiftly left the area and the sun was shining in time for the first session.
 
Line and his brilliant blue Summit Racing Chevrolet Camaro covered the quarter-mile in 6.560-second at 210.87 mph to temporarily occupy the No. 7 position in the qualifying order, and the KB Racing team headed back to the pit area and began preparing for a stronger charge in the second session. A lengthy delay during qualifying for the nitro cars allowed a bit of extra time for the group to fine-tune their efforts, and it certainly showed in the second session.
 
Line’s move from seventh to fourth was impressive as it happened in a round where many of the Pro Stock cars had trouble as conditions changed and the round pushed later into the evening.
 
“The racetrack was very tricky that last session,” said Line. “Very tricky. We were glad to get down the track and improve, and I can tell you that there is a lot of room for improvement with both of our Summit Racing Camaros. I think my partner Greg Anderson and I will have more to show the folks out here at Atlanta Dragway. We’re looking forward to those two sessions tomorrow, that’s for sure.”
 
Qualifying for the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway will continue with two more sessions scheduled for Saturday.
