  • 2005 Star Mazda Champion Raphael Matos Wins 2008 Indy Lights Championship
    CLIMBING THE LADDER -- 2005 STAR MAZDA CHAMPION RAPHAEL MATOS WINS 2008 INDY LIGHTS CHAMPIONSHIP Raphael Matos, the talented Brazilian racer who won the 2005 Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear, has clinched his fourth open-wheel racing title in six years by winning the 2008 Firestone Indy Lights championship for AFS/Andretti Green with a record of three wins, five poles and 13 top-10 finishes. His performance also earned him 'Rookie of the Year' honors. In addition, Matos also won the 2008 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 season-ender this past weekend. After winning the GT class in the season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona back in January, Matos made his return to the series by winning in his first Daytona Prototype start Saturday, the SunRichGourmet.com 1000 presented by The Grand and Little America Hotels at Miller Motorsports Park. Matos joined regular drivers Ian James and John Pew (also a Star Mazda Championship graduate) to give the No. 6 Michael Shank Racing Ford Riley its first Rolex Series victory. The team became the third first- time Daytona Prototype winner in three races at Miller Motorsports Park. "The car was very strong at the end of the race and that's why I was able to pull a gap. I love this series and I love the cars. I love driving them. I had a great team - Mike Shank did an amazing job, and John Pew and Ian James did a great job. The crew had an amazing pit stop, and that's what put us in first position.
