Midget Series Champ Rico Abreu Lets Slip Three-Year Narrative Amidst Joining Kyle Larson’s High Limit Racing Full-Time

Rico Abreu had his best World of Outlaws sprint car racing season so far in his career as has clinched six victories which is thrice his previous best. Not only this, he became the only driver to secure multiple series victories. 

Pumped up by his recent success, the California native looked forward to a true outlaw schedule in 2024, and his lunch with Kyle Larson‘s High Limit Racing co-owner has solidified his vision as he joins hands with the series. 

Rico Abreu spills the three-year High Limit Racing plan 

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.”

“To be able to go run World of Outlaws races in between those [High Limit] races, it’s just- why wouldn’t you race with High Limit?” Abreu told the Speedsport reporter as he unveiled how this freedom could guarantee his team’s growth. 

Emphasizing the extraordinary prize money value, the racer said, “They still pay an extraordinary amount. They have $300,000-to-win’s, a couple $50,000’s and a bunch of $20,000’s . That’s important to my team.”

The freedom to compete in other series and to collect the maximum points and prize money possible is what enticed not only Abreu but also Jacob Allen, Corey Day, and several others.
