It’s safe to say things have been clicking the past two weeks for Pro Stock Motorcycle driver Eddie Krawiec.

The pilot of the Screamin’ Eagle Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson won his second NHRA national event in a row, his latest coming Aug. 2 at the Sonoma, (Calif.) Nationals.

Krawiec clocked a 6.881-second elapsed time at 191.00 mph to beat Jerry Savoie’s 6.891-second lap at 194.13 mph at Sonoma Raceway.

“We took some pictures with the broom because we sort of swept the mini swing,” Krawiec said. “We do have three races out here because one of them is the Pro Bike battle. I’m fortunate to be able to say I went to Denver and won, won the Battle and won Sonoma. That’s a testament to this facility. It sets itself apart from most because Bruton (Smith) takes care of his tracks and makes sure you have the best stuff and the best surfaces and everything to run on.”

Krawiec’s last couple of weekends have been fantastic. He qualified No. 1 at the Mile-High Nationals in Denver with a new track record and then won the race. He then qualified No. 1 at Sonoma and also won the three round Pro Stock Motorcycle battle Aug. 1 at Sonoma.

“The Aligator (Savoie) almost ate (in the finals),” Krawiec said. “Jerry is a great competitor. I’m fully aware of the (Suzuki) horsepower that he has because we supply it to him. He’s a great racer, and you can’t take that team lightly. Matter of fact, you can’t take any team lightly.”

This was Krawiec’s 29th career. He won world championships in 2008, 2011 and 2012, and he’s currently leading the point standings.

At Sonoma’s national event, Krawiec defeated Angie Smith, Steve Johnson, Scotty Pollacheck, before ousting Savioe. Last year, Krawiec also upended Savoie in the finals at Sonoma. This was Krawiec’s third career victory at Sonoma as he also won there in 2012.

“I almost didn’t have a chance to come up here and talk (after the win),” Krawiec said. “The first round was a close one for me. I actually popped the clutch lever. I don’t know if we had a little bit of clutch malfunction, but it flared the motor and then blew the tire away and the bike really didn’t move. It was kind of odd because it hasn’t done that really ever for us. We just went back and tried to keep a cool head and make the proper changes and go. I ran Jerry in the final here last year and the result was the same. It’s just great racing for the fans, that’s the best thing.”

Krawiec, who finished second in the points a year ago to his Harley-Davidson teammate Andrew Hines, likes where his team is headed.

“I think we are starting to hit our stride,” Krawiec said. “We are running the way we expect to run. We’re still picking away on Andrew’s motorcycle a little bit. Mine is in a little bit of window and his is getting there.”
