"We've got the first one in the
bag, but there's a lot of racing
left, so it's a little early to think
about a sweep, but this bike is
mean so you never know," Smith
said. "We've got Denver out the
way so let's head to Sonoma and
see what happens there."
Krawiec, like teammate An-
drew Hines, missed the first two
races of the season while they
put together their Vance & Hines
Buell program. Krawiec was nev-
er really in danger of missing the
top 10, but he entered the Den-
ver race as the 10th-ranked driver
in the class. Krawiec reached
the 86th final round of his career
when he beat Jerry Savoie, Steve
Johnson and Smith's wife, Angie,
who fouled in the semis.
