I believe th e scorer writing down the times just wrote down the wrong number . that's all, and I ca n u nderstand that. You 've been writing n u mb ers down all day lo ng, a nd it's easy to make a m istake. " I'm not mad at anybody. just as lo ng as people know I had a good ride and co uld've won," added Smith.
