After securing his qualifying position for this weekend’s season-ending Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals in Pomona, Eddie Krawiec has officially put the wraps on his third NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series Pro Stock Motorcycle title.
Krawiec, who is at the end of an incredible season that already includes nine victories in ten final rounds, rode his Screamin’ Eagle Harley-Davidson to a 6.811, which is good for the No. 2 spot. He now holds an insurmountable 102-point advantage over teammate Andrew Hines.
Incredibly, Krawiec has been the points leader following 14 of the previous 15 events this season, losing the top spot only briefly after a round-two loss in Houston. With victories in Gainesville, Atlanta, Englishtown, Denver, Sonoma, and Brainerd, Krawiec was able to glide into the Countdown playoffs as the top seed in the class. During the six-race playoffs, he has been virtually unbeatable with a 17-2 round win record including three-consecutive wins in St. Louis, Reading, and the most recent event in Las Vegas. Overall, Krawiec boasts a 47-6 round win record, easily the best in the history of the Pro Stock Motorcycle class.
Krawiec now joins teammate Hines, and crew chief Matt Hines, as a three-time NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle champion. Angelle Sampey and the late John Myers also won three titles while late Hall of Famer Dave Schultz remains the class’ all-time leader with five championships. (NHRA)
