Eddie Krawiec had a good view of the action from his perch atop the qualifying ladder. His Friday evening 6.970-second run at 191.65 mile per hour run went untouched although two other riders joined him in the six second zone.

Krawiec, the Team Screamin’ Eagle Harley-Davidson rider, scored his third No. 1 qualifier of the season.

“I’m not focusing on anything else other than making nice, clean and straight runs,” said Krawiec, runner-up to Steve Johnson last weekend in Charlotte. “The bottom line is that you aren’t racing anyone but yourself. If you stay focused and remain in your lane, you can end up in the final round.”

Krawiec broke a transmission in Saturday’s first qualifying attempt and returned in the final session with an unproven engine. He simply drove to low elapsed time of the session.

The timing of the top qualifying effort couldn’t have come at a more opportune moment for Krawiec with every point holding special significance. He is only 42 points out of first place in the championship standings.

“Points mean everything and this championship could be decided by only one point,” Krawiec said. “Anytime you can get a point, it’s a good thing. I’m excited and looking forward to doing my best on Sunday.”
