Harley-Davidson Re-Signs Hines, Krawiec, and Coolbeth for 2011

All three of its factory sponsored riders will be returning to their respective race teams in 2011, Harley-Davidson recently revealed. This means that three-time PSM champion Andrew Hines and 2008 PSM champion Eddie Krawiec will return to the Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson squad, to compete in the National Hot Rod Association's Pro Stock Motorcycle class.

In addition to that, three-time Grand National Twins champion Kenny Coolbeth returns for his fifth season with the Harley-Davidson Factory Flat Track racing team, to compete in the AMA Pro Racing Flat Track series.

"My career with the Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson team has been memorable. It's been great to be part of such an elite team," Hines said. "2010 was a great year with the achievements we earned from beginning to end, and I'm looking forward to continuing our pursuit of another NHRA Full Throttle series Championship in 2011."

"This marks my fifth consecutive season as a factory rider for the Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson team. By winning at Pomona and resetting the national E.T Record, the final race of the 2010 race season couldn't have ended much better for me, and I'm looking forward to starting the 2011 NHRA Full Throttle race season right where I left off last year,"
Krawiec said.

"We didn't have a lot of wins in 2010, but we had consistent performances, came from the back of the pack in a lot of the races, and got a few podiums. I'm pleased to remain a factory rider for Harley-Davidson for the fifth straight year, and I'm anxious to get the 2011 season rolling," said Coolbeth. "I want to win at least five races in 2011 and I'm focused on winning the championship."
