Jason Line has never won back-to-back Pro Stock world championships in his career.

Well, the veteran driver of the Summit Racing Equipment Chevy Camaro has given himself a chance to double up, thanks to a crucial win Sunday at the FallNationals at Texas Motorplex.

Line captured the victory in the finals when his opponent Drew Skillman record a red light.

“There’s no question it’s not over and they are going to have to pry that No. 1 off the window,” Line said. “I kind of like it on there and I think we will try and keep it.”

That win made the points race very interesting for the Ken Black racing teammates – Line, Greg Anderson and Bo Butner.

Anderson is atop the points, but only leads Butner by 15 points and third-place Line by 30. There are two races left in the season, Las Vegas (Oct. 26-29) and Pomona, Calif. (Nov. 9-12).

This was Line’s 47th win of his career – which includes championships in 2006, 2011 and 2016 – and the second of the season. Line’s other win came at the Winternationals in Pomona, Calif.

“I test something every run, I’m a tinker and unfortunately that gets me in trouble and it takes Rob Downing and Mike Edwards to bring me back to reality,” Line said about his gap between wins this year. “The Countdown format, the way that it is, now is what matters. We are peaking at the right time and hopefully I will give Bo and Greg and everybody else something to think about the next couple of weeks. It should be fun.”

Line’s victory march consisted of wins over Alan Prusiensky, Alex Laughlin, Brian Self and Skillman. This was Line’s third career win at Dallas to go along with his titles in 2011 and 2013.

Line did draw criticism from Texas Motorplex owner Billy Meyer about his actions after his win.

“Billy Meyer called me a moron because I put my cowboy hat on backwards and I told him I’m from Minnesota and we don’t know how to wear cowboy hats and then he accused me of not being able to spell moron. I will never forget this day,” Line said. “To me, it was do or die this weekend. If I didn’t win here this weekend, the chance of winning the championship was slim and none and slim just checked out of town. I really had to win and I was lucky enough to win. With two races left, it’s crunch time. I hate pressure. I can’t stand it and I’m going to have to figure out how to harness that and doing better job handling the pressure. I like really boring, big points leads and that’s out the window. I’m going to have to step it up and it’s going to be a battle.”
