Rico Abreu A-Main Finish (Start): DNF (12th) ST. HELENA, Calif. (May 11,
2020) – Although it was not the start the team was in search of, Rico
Abreu and Rico Abreu/Curb Agajanian Racing gained valuable lap time
during their recent trip to the Midwest, first joining the World of
Outlaws Sprint Car Series at Knoxville Raceway on Friday, May 8,
followed by a visit to St. Francois County Raceway in Farmington,
Missouri, on Saturday, May 9. After a 20th-place score at
the Sprint Car Capital of the World on Friday, Abreu was well on his way
to a top-ten performance at St. Francois on Saturday when a rock
knocked loose a fuel nozzle forcing the St. Helena, California-native to
retire from main event competition before the finish. Abreu started
12th on the grid and raced his way to sixth before the misfortune
occurred. Abreu earned his way into
Knoxville Raceway’s main event by way of a third place finish during the
evening’s Last Chance Showdown, the product of row three. There were 48
cars on hand for the Return to Racing Invitational. “We didn’t have the results we
wanted, but we’re going to keep working hard and do what we have to do
to improve. The outcome at St. Francois was just tough luck, but I still
think we could have been better before that,” Rico Abreu said, driver
of the Rico Abreu/Curb Agajanian Racing/Abreu Vineyards/Curb
Records/Lucas Oil/No. 24 sprint car. “It was a long trip east from
California, so I’m proud of my guys for working hard and getting us to
that point.” Although Abreu’s upcoming
plans are tentative, preliminary discussions include visiting Jackson
Motorplex in Jackson, Minnesota, for the Great Lakes Shootout on Friday
and Saturday, May 15-16. Fans are encouraged to stay alert on social
media for any schedule changes and last minute updates. SOCIAL MEDIA:
