LINE MAKES CAR SWITCH

Jason Line and Greg Anderson run on the same team but have used distinctive paint schemes to jason_line.jpgdifferentiate their identically prepared Pontiac GXP Pro Stockers. In Norwalk, for this weekend’s NHRA Summit Racing Equipment Nationals, they have suited up as an army of one.

Line will trade in his tangerine-colored Pontiac for Anderson’s candy apple red entry used last season.

“There was nothing wrong with my Summit Racing GXP – after all, we won two races with it earlier in the year,” said Line.  “However, over the last few weeks it just wasn’t responding the way we wanted it to, so we made the decision to switch to the car Greg ran last year. It’s a proven piece that we feel gives us the best chance to win.”

differentiate their identically prepared Pontiac GXP Pro Stockers. In Norwalk, for this weekend’s NHRA Summit Racing Equipment Nationals, they have suited up as an army of one.

“There was nothing wrong with my Summit Racing GXP – after all, we won two races with it earlier in the year,” said Line.  “However, over the last few weeks it just wasn’t responding the way we wanted it to, so we made the decision to switch to the car Greg ran last year. It’s a proven piece that we feel gives us the best chance to win.”

Line is hoping the switch will propel his team to the success he achieved early in the season, when he recorded two wins.

There is also the motivation for both of Ken Black's entries to win in Summit's home state and at the track which also carries the Summit name.
 
“It’s a Summit race at Summit Motorsports Park, and if that wasn’t enough, we have the K&N Horsepower Challenge on Saturday,” said Anderson. “In other words, this is our biggest race of the year, so we put a lot of emphasis on being ready.  That’s why we switched Jason into my old car, and why we spent two days this week in Michigan testing in the heat.  So far this year, our Summit GXP team has been good, but we haven’t been great, and both Jason and I need to be great this weekend.”
