Solidifying his name as a sure-fire favorite to capture the 2023 Knoxville Nationals crown, St. Helena, California’s Rico Abreu put on a show Saturday night at the Sprint Car Capital of the World, not only conquering Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 competition for the second time this season, but collecting an $8,000 payday in the process, ultimately etching his name as a Knoxville Raceway winner for the sixth time in his career. Abreu, ace of the ever-familiar Rico Abreu/Curb Agajanian Racing No. 24 sprint car, started sixth on Knoxville’s All Star grid, surging to the front in a hurry before taking command on lap 12 of 25.
Once earning the top spot, blasting by I-70 Motorsports Park winner and race-long leader, Buddy Kofoid, it was game over for the rest of the field, as even a caution three circuits later would not halt Abreu’s momentum. The recent Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race champion would cruise on to win by over three seconds.
Roth Motorsports’ Buddy Kofoid would race on to finish second, followed by Tea, South Dakota’s Justin Henderson, the “Big Unit” Austin McCarl, and “Blackjack” Brian Brown.
