To discuss the vision of taking High Limit Racing to new verticals, co-owner, Brad Sweet, paid a visit to the Abreu family over lunch on Sunday, December 3. Following the meeting, the Midget Series champion publicly expressed his plans to compete in the full 60-race High Limit Slate.
According to Speedsport, Abreu revealed that he is enthralled by the long-term vision that owners Kyle Larson and Brad Sweet carry with this series and said, “Things have become so appealing for High Limit for me. Number one, my relationship with Brad and Kyle and their vision with the sport of sprint car racing and their long-term plan is extremely appealing to me.”
With six victories, Rico had his best sprint car racing season, and with that, he is focused on securing as many wins as possible next season. Pondering upon the three-year plan to win the championship, Abreu said, “I look at this as a three-year plan for me. When you race for a title, you work to build towards that…You collect all the data you can the first season, minus those mistakes the second season, and then go for a championship the third season.”
