Sunday
EDMONTON, Alberta — Raphael Matos completed a sweep of the Rexall Grand Prix of Edmonton Sunday with his second Champ Car Atlantic Championship victory in as many days.
Matos passed a sputtering Franck Perera on the final lap to claim his sixth victory of the season and second of the weekend. Perera, whose fuel problems over the final three laps allowed Matos to dilute what had been a commanding lead, ended up third behind Jonathan Bomarito. Perera led 37 of 38 laps.
“I knew that it was just a matter of time that (Perera) was going to run out of gas,” said Matos. “I just tried to be patient, and finally, with four corners to go, he ran out of gas big time, and I was able to make the pass and bring the car to victory lane again. I just can’t thank my team enough again.”
With the victory, Matos became the first Atlantic driver to win six races in a season since Jon Fogarty accomplished the same feat en route to the 2004 series title. Matos also extended his point lead over Perera to 291-251 with two races remaining.
The finish:
Raphael Matos, Jonathan Bomarito, Franck Perera, Alan Sciuto, J.R. Hildebrand, Giacomo Ricci, Kevin Lacroix, John Edwards, James Hinchcliffe, Robert Wickens, Richard Heistand, Matt Lee, Ryan Lewis, Tom Sutherland, Adrien Herberts, Frankie Muniz, Mike Forest, Brian Thienes, Justin Sofio, David Garza, Carl Skerlong, Simona De Silvestro, Adrian Carrio.

Saturday
EDMONTON, Alberta — Raphael Matos shook off memories of a late crash that kept him from victory a year ago and won the first of a weekend Champ Car Atlantic doubleheader Saturday at the Rexall Grand Prix of Edmonton.
It was the fifth victory of the season for Matos, who took the lead from Sierra Sierra Enterprises teammate and polesitter James Hinchcliffe with 20 laps remaining and led Franck Perera to the finish by 2.247 seconds.
“Definitely, I felt that I had some unfinished business at this track, and we were able to pull this victory off,” said Matos.
Matos extended his series point lead over Perera, the winner of the past two Atlantic races, to 259-226.
Hinchcliffe completed the podium in third.
The finish:
Raphael Matos, Franck Perera, James Hinchcliffe, Robert Wickens, Giacomo Ricci, John Edwards, Adrian Carrio, David Garza, Ryan Lewis, Justin Sofio, Adrien Herberts, Matt Lee, Simona De Silvestro, Jonathan Bomarito, Brian Thienes, Richard Heistand, Frankie Muniz, Kevin Lacroix, Alan Sciuto, Cark Skerlong, J.R. Hildebrand, Mike Forest, Tom Sutherland.
