Phillips take on the Matos situation.

And while conspiracy theorists may be quick to paint Caponigro as the bad guy – he has worked closely with the Andretti family for decades after all – the fact is, he was just doing his job of getting as much money as possible for his client and, by extension, himself.

So while it makes sense for Matos (who has two IPS street circuit wins but no oval track experience to speak of) to get his speedway feet wet in IPS, by plucking him from the Champ Car feeder system AGR has, arguably, diminished both Atlantic and the IPS, first by revealing the shortcomings of the Atlantic championship prize and, second, by confirming the irrelevance of the IPS.
