Same story, different weekend.

For the 11th time in 11 NHRA national event races, team owner Ken Black saw one of his drivers reach the winner’s circle.

The latest champion was Jason Line.

Line, driving his Summit Racing Camaro, edged teammate Greg Anderson for the title at the Thunder Valley Nationals Sunday in Bristol, Tenn.

Line clocked a 6.668-second elapsed time at 207.59 mph to defeat Anderson’s 6.694-second lap.

“We were a little tardy (off the line) - neither one of us wanted to win,” Line said. “It was kind of crazy. When we staged, my light blinked and the auto start didn’t start when he (Anderson) thought it was going to and it really messed me up when that happened. Neither one of us did a great job, we were a little tardy, but we made a great run and we got the win and it feels very, very good.”

This was Line’s 43rd career Pro Stock national event win. He now has wins at Phoenix, Las Vegas, Charlotte, Atlanta, Topeka and Bristol this season and he has been in 10 of the 11 final rounds this year. Anderson has the other five wins on the circuit in 2016.

“This is unbelievable,” said Line, who also captured his second career Bristol win, the other coming in 2006. “I don’t know what to say. This is the best year I’ve ever had and it’s not done yet. I’m so excited.”

As good as things have been, Line knows this string of success could end at any time.

“We are,” said Line when asked if his team was ever going to get beat. “The longer it goes, the better the odds are. It’s going to happen, it’s just a matter of time. It’s crazy, but something is going to happen and someone is going to beat us. The fact that it has gone on this long is really unfathomable to me, but at the same time it’s very exciting for me to be a part of.”
