So great to see a guy, AJ with such passion and heart. You can tell how badly he wants this championship. I have to say that Line was a great sport in his interview. Wasnt bad mouthing anyone, and he basically said he had to take a shot.

Looks like a few rounds in Pomona and AJ is the champ!! Prayin he qualifies well, and brings the championship back to MoPar!!

Jason is a stand up guy. Heard he is a Mopar guy at heart. He just gets a bad rap because his boss is such a tool. I guess there are plenty of us though that have to put up with that type of boss. On a high note though WAY TO GO AJ!

I remember when they had the old black and White Amoco Car and were considered MoPar "also rans" when the Wayne county guys were still around. I met AJ and Roy the Week-end where there car flipped on the big end at Gainesville, I've been a HUGE fan ever since!

There was NEVER a more deserving team for a Championship than the J&J boyz!!

I think Mathematically he has to Qualify and make a pass (win or lose) in the first round to be out of reach....even if Line wins the race AND sets both ends of the National Record. That gives him 30 points and Jason would need to outscore him by 127 beyond that

Not exactly sure (there's low round bonus points to consider too) but that's pretty close.

Line a Mopar guy? .....even his mother races a chevy! There's a whole bunch of them that race in S and SS. Definately a family affair.

I like Jason Line as he seems to be fair guy who does not badmouth when he looses. He just told them thats racing and said nothing bad about anyone.
I was also glad to see Vincent Nobile running real good and get to the final. To bad V Gaines lost to a holeshot in round 1 as he is making good power now also. Congrats to all the Mopar teams and a big thanks to AJ and team as was said us Mopar fans have been waiting a long time for this. Ron

It doesn't get any better than that - an all-Mopar final and AJ winning.

Let's also not forget that Nobile is currently #4, Gaines is #7 and Coughlin is #8 - 4 Mopars in the top 10!

Nice article here:

I see some new Mopar apparel in my future . Vincent is only 14 points out of third in the points chase, I hope he can go some rounds next week end.

I think we're seeing the benefit of a two car team finally for Mopar. Twice the data, twice the tests, second " view", twice the hits,twice the development and another drivers " view".

I simply cant wait to see that number one on the most deserving team in Pro Stock! I remember talking to one of the piston manufacters, and they told me, " man, that Roy Johnson sometimes asks for some weird stuff". ( paraphrasing). Well, seems the mad scientist sure knows what he is doing!.

Congrats Roy , Allen, and the whole crew, who work behind the scenes to make it all happpen.

I asked Allen to swing by Moparts shortly and give us the update on his way to #1 !!!

It was great not seeing Vinny laying down for AJ, They raced a real race, and a close one to boot. I know Vinny has his day comeing as he is an awesome driver and a great leaver.

Too many times Ive seen a 2 car team make it to the finals and the owner in this case AJ gets the win regardless, but I am sure if somethinglike a mis shift, or some hazed tires it could have been anyones race.

Way to show sportsmanship and not making him lay down.

Here's the way it comes out to lock up the championship.

All AJ has to realistically do is make 1 qualifying hit.

If that hit puts him in the field, he's done.

Only way Line can win it is if AJ fails to qualify, Line wins event, gets at least 7 of the 20 qualifying points available, AND he must set an ET record. A national ET record at Pomona is VERY unlikely with the record being 6.47.

You know I hate to even think it but many teams do it but look at VN mph on the final run. It was 204 as he may have lifted a tad early even though it looks as AJ said go all out. Dont know dont care as AJ and VN are both great Mopar Pro Stock teams and it will be so great to see AJ win it all as they have worked hard for it and stuck with Mopar all these years. Ron

Ron I agree with you, but if it was me and I was in the other lane and AJ told me to run it all out, I would let him have a half a fender and ride it out. Its respect. Thats all. They (Alan and Roy) have bust there butt and stuck with us(mopar people) for a long time. Just my
