PETERSEN MEDIA: Despite having his wisdom teeth pulled earlier this week, rookie driver, Rico Abreu, will still get back to action this weekend as he is set to compete Friday night at the Ocean Speedway, and Saturday at the Placerville Speedway.
The St. Helena, CA driver has turned heads during his rookie campaign driving a winged sprint car, and as he inches closer to a win, Rico looks to break through this weekend.
Currently Abreu sits in the third spot in the championship standings for the highly competitive Taco Bravo 360 Sprint Car class at the Ocean Speedway, where he has several podiums to his credit.
This week to add to the challenge will be the highly touted California Civil War Series in a combined event pitting the Taco Bravo Series regulars against the traveling class, in what will be an exciting showdown.
Following Friday night’s race, Abreu will take his Abreu Vineyards/Kaeding Performance/Maxim to the high-banked Placerville Speedway in Placerville, CA for his first career start at the ¼ mile track during the California Civil War Series season finale.
“I’m excited for this weekend,” said Abreu. “Being in the car the surgery won’t even be a factor. It’s going to be fun going up against the Civil War Series two times this weekend, as well as racing at Placerville for the first time. It is definitely a track that I have wanted to compete on.”
Abreu would like to thank Abreu Vineyards, Kaeding Performance, Stadlehofer Construction, Factory Kahne Shocks, Sprint Car Components, Santomauro Racing Products, and Swift Metal Finishing.
