Krawiec has been in sixteen finals in his career and ten finals this year, winning four of them, all this year. Horne has been in two finals this year, is still looking for his first national event win. Krawiec is 6 - 1 against Horne in prior events and this is the first time they have met in a final round.

Horne went red by "a stinkin' thou'" and Krawiec made the run he was looking for last round. He gave Hector Arana a good race for the championship, came up two points short. Eddie Krawiec's incremental times: 60ft-1.082 sec., 330ft-2.889, 660ft-4.418/160.19 mph, 1,000ft-5.755. Ironically, after winning the national championship last year with no wins, he wins more events than anyone else in the category this year and comes up two points short. It's all in the timing...
