Johnson and Krawiec have each won 2 times against the other in prior events and this is the first time they have faced each other in a final round, Johnson is 4 - 13 in final rounds, but won in the last race back at Indy, Krawiec is looking for his first ever win. Krawiec is red and Johnson will go back to back wins for the first time in his career. Johnson will now go to 2nd in points. At the top end Johnson was so excited that he forgot to stop the motorcycle and he puts the bike into the sand trap, but he is ok.
