Here's a huge update for The Pro Series. I learned today that Rapharl Matos has signed with AGR-AFS Racing to do the entire Pro Series this year. AFS is owned by Gary Peterson owner of AFS Fire protection in California. Raphael is the first driver not driving for Kevin Kalkoven to win the Atlantics Championship and according to Raphael he found out that the $ 2 million dollar prize was actually $ 200,000 in cash and the rest applied towards a $5 million dollar Champ Car ride but only if he brought the rest of the $3.2 million dollars to run the season. Raphael is going to be a great driver as he is a very, very good driver right now Running this full season with AFS will get him used to ovals and hopefully he can move up to IndyCar nest season or 2010. IndyCar teams are beginning to notice drivers plying their craft in the Pro Series as look at what has happened to Alex Lloyd, Jay Howard and Hideki Mutoh.
