Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals Stock winner Ben Line
Ben Line became the third member of his family to win an NHRA national event title, joining his older brothers, three-time Pro Stock champion Jason and Lance, after claiming the Brainerd Stock title. Line opened eliminations with a win against his brother-in-law Johnny Diekema and also topped national event winners Trista Fenner, Brett Speer, and Cal Method to reach the final. Paired with two-time Brainerd winner Bill Feist in an all-Mustang final, Line was almost perfect with a .005 reaction time and a 10.533 on his 10.52 dial-in. Feist had won 13 straight rounds in Brainerd before losing the close final to Line.
