PETERSEN MEDIA: Friday night at the Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, CA, Rico Abreu’s night was cut short as the youngster got upside down of the first lap of the feature ending his night before it ever got started.
Lining up outside the third row for the feature, the St. Helena, CA driver went to the high-side of the hooked up ¼ mile and got into the turn three cushion, upsetting his car and sending him into a spin causing damage to the rear of the car ending his night.
“I just got a little impatient on the start tonight, and cost my guys,” explained Rico. “It’s a learning experience that I’ll grow from, and we’ll move on to Tulare tomorrow night and see what we an do there.”
Abreu would like to thank Abreu Vineyards, Kaeding Performance, Stadlehofer Construction, Factory Kahne Shocks, Sprint Car Innovations, Santomauro Racing Products, ButerBuilt, Swift Metal Finishing, and 7 Industries for their continued support.
ON TAP: Rico will now take on the ASCS Southern California Series Saturday night at the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, CA.
