ST. HELENA, Calif. (June 21, 2021) – Perhaps the most grueling schedule in all of open wheel motorsports, St. Helena, California’s Rico Abreu not only entered his own Rico Abreu/Curb Agajanian Racing/Rowdy Energy/Curb Records/Lucas Oil Products/Self Made Racing/No. 24 sprint car for 39th running of Ohio Sprint Speedweek featuring the All Star Circuit of Champions, but also a second entry for the “Wild Child” Jac Haudenschild, who started his delayed Speedweek venture two events after Abreu at Wayne County Speedway. Together, the duo earned a combined four top-ten finishes, highlighted with Abreu’s runner-up result to Kyle Larson at Waynesfield Raceway Park on Wednesday, June 16.
Not going down without a fight, Abreu worked by Larson to lead 16 at Waynesfield, but the Elk Grove, California-native quickly returned the favor and powered back by Abreu on lap 17.
In addition, Abreu scored a tenth-place finish at Fremont Speedway on Saturday, June 12, and a sixth-place run at Wayne County Speedway on Monday, June 14.
Despite finishing 19th, Abreu led the majority of Portsmouth Raceway Park’s Speedweek ending Dean Knittel Memorial on Saturday, June 19, but a cut tire with a handful of circuits remaining forced Abreu to retire, no longer a contender for the $17,554 top prize.
Haudenschild’s highlight of Ohio Sprint Speedweek occurred on Thursday, June 17, when the Wooster, Ohio-native and National Sprint Car Hall of Famer finished ninth from 16th at Muskingum County Speedway. In actuality, Haudenschild’s top result of the week would have occurred at Wayne County Speedway on Tuesday, but the Wild Child missed the scales following the feature and was scored last in the running order.
“It was an up and down weekend, for sure, but I can’t say enough about this Rowdy Energy team. Ohio Sprint Speedweek is no joke. It’s an intense week, but we love doing it. It’s circled on our calendar every year,” Rico Abreu said, still on the hunt for his first victory of 2021. “It was pretty incredible to see all of the fans who came out for every race. Ohio fans are great. They treat us like one of their own and that makes it easy to want to come race all of the time. We get to head to Pennsylvania and do it all over again starting Friday.”
From one Speedweek to the next, Rico Abreu and Rico Abreu/Curb Agajanian Racing are tentatively scheduled to continue their 2021 campaign with the 31st running of Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek, which activates Friday evening, June 25, at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. A staple in Posse Country, the ten-race/ten-day campaign will extend through Sunday, July 4, where it will conclude at Selinsgrove Speedway. For more information, please visit www.paspeedweeks.com.
