Both are world class race car drivers. Both have tasted victory over the years. And both have already taken to the track at Edmonton’s Rexall Speedway.
But neither Raphael Matos or Robert Doornbos (aka “Rafa” and “Bobby D”) have ever stared down a sprint like we put in front of them. The two budding Indy stars swung by our BT studio for a quick interview leading up to this weekend’s Rexall Edmonton Indy. What they didn’t know was, we had our own race planned…
With a little help from our friends at United Cycle, we brought in two hot rides and laid down the gauntlet. For a couple of guys used to street tracks and ovals, they didn’t do half-bad on our straightaway…
I should mention, there has been some controversy within our crew over the results of the tie-breaker, heat #3. From my vantage point, it appeared to be Bobby D’s win. But from a different angle (as you’ll see on our video), you can certainly make an argument it was Rafa’s race. Click on the video below to watch - you make the call!

Robbed. That was Rafa’s race.
