You have a number of good choices, depending on what your goals are.

IMO, one of your worst choices would be rubber fuel line. That's too long of a run for rubber line.

You cannot use brake line, as it is only 3/16" - way too small to feed anything bigger than a lawn mower - a small lawn mower.

The easiest is to use steel braided AN fittings and hoses. Also the most expensive, and probably the heaviest.

3/8" steel tubing from any parts store is cheap. It usually comes in 4' lengths, with pre-flared ends.

A lot of the newer cars are using a plastic hose. That's looking like a pretty good option for a stock car. Inexpensive, easy, durable, and light weight.
