Ed Krawiec Gains Third Victory Of NHRA Pro Stock 2012

Defending champion Ed Krawiec took his third win of the Pro Stock
Motorcycle drag racing division, defeating Hector Arana Jr. This is
his ninth win in a row for the 2012 season. The Harley-Davidson
Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines team for which he rides remains
undefeated this season.
"I had a great Harley-Davidson V-Rod to race all weekend, really
strong off the line which is important for us. It may not have been
the fastest bike out there but it was very consistent and ran
straight down the track. Consistency and steady racing have been
winning for us all season," Krawiec told Ultimate Motorcycling.
Krawiec first strapped on a motorcycle helmet and started racing in
the AMA prostars series in 1999 and made his first NHRA debut at
Englishtown in 2004. He earned his first career Full Throttle
Series world championship and became the second driver - first
since Rob Bruins (TF) in 1979 - to win a championship without
winning a race. He won his second career world championship and set
the national speed record in Gainesville in 2011, according to
NHRA.
The rider presently leads the NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle division by
106 points, with 962 points for the season. Hines takes second with
856 points.
