The combination of Marco Andretti and Franck Montagny produced a fifth-place finish at Lime Rock Park for Andretti Green Racing in the American Le Mans Series.
For the race this weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Montagny will be teamed with Raphael Matos and the hopes of a better finish.
Montagny made his debut with Andretti Green at Lime Rock Park, replacing Valencia's Bryan Herta and Christian Fittipaldi in the team's No. 26 Acura.
Matos, a driver for Andretti Green Racing in the Indy Lights series, will be making his first start in the American Le Mans Series.
"I'm very excited to be driving the XM Acura at Mid-Ohio in addition to my duties for the Firestone Indy Lights Series," Matos said. "I got to test AGR's ALMS car at Mid-Ohio earlier in the season, which I think will help me get up to speed much quicker. I am looking forward to driving with Franck as I know that we will be able to work well together to set up the car. Hopefully we can give Acura a win at their home track and give AGR their first win of the season."
Matos will be a busy driver. He is entered in the American Le Mans Series race and a doubleheader Indy Lights weekend with races on Saturday and Sunday.

Patron Highcroft Racing gave Acura its first overall win in more than a year in an American Le Mans Series race at Lime Rock Park in the Northeast Grand Prix.
Scott Sharp and David Brabham won the race at Lime Rock Park, the first overall win for an Acura team since the 2007 12 Hours of Sebring. The Andretti Green Racing team won that race with Valencia's Bryan Herta as one of the drivers.
Sharp and Brabham also won the LMP2 portion of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. The win at Lime Rock Park was the second of the year for the Patron Highcroft Racing team.
"You couldn't have written a better story for our group at Acura and HPD," said Erik Berman, President of Santa Clarita-based Honda Performance Deveopment. "It was a wild weekend with the front row of the grid all Acura. It was an amazing race. I followed Robert Clarke in this position, and Robert did a massive amount of work to help make this win possible. I am proud of all of the Acura teams and I am sure he is, too. Winning overall is a new milestone for this young Acura program. But we have to continue to work hard and keep pushing."

Valencia's Bryan Herta will not be driving for Andretti Green Racing in the next American Le Mans Series race at Lime Rock Park at Lakeville, Conn., on July 12.
Franck Montagny is the new primary driver of the team's No. 26 Acura-powered entry in the American Le Mans Series, the team announced Thursday.
Montagny and Marco Andretti, son of team co-owner Michael Andretti, will drive the team's Acura in the race at Lime Rock Park. Herta is not in Andretti Green's plans for future races, but the team said in a release that a variety of drivers will team with Montagny for the final seven races of the American Le Mans Series season.
"It was a complete shock to me," said Herta, a Hart High of Newhall graduate. "I'm at a bit of a loss for words. It's there sandbox. Right now it's all kind of a bit of a surprise. I'm not going to jump at something. I want to see what happens."
