Jason Line made a comment in jest last season, thanking Mike Edwards for his help in righting a wrong racecar. The two downplayed the exchange as just something to make  the community talk.

Friday afternoon there was no skirting the fact the two-time NHRA champion who sold his team to Chris McGaha at the end of 2013 was walking through the staging lanes wearing a Summit Racing Equipment crew shirt as a part of KB Racing.

"We are just seeing if I can shed some light on anything," said Edwards. "I'm excited to be back out here. I know one thing, the KB group has bent over backwards to make me feel welcomed. You kind of feel like a fish out of water when it's not your team and stuff. They made sure I didn't feel that way, and that means a lot. "

Edwards admits he was content to watch the drags from afar until he began getting regular phone calls from a persistent driver.

"I got tired of Jason [Line] calling me over and over, asking me to come back out here," admitted Edwards. "Hunting season is over; it's too cold to fish -- so I guess it's the perfect time to go racing again."
