Abreu (St. Helena, Calif.) is a two-time 4-Crown midget feature winner with victories coming in 2013 and 2016. The 2014 USAC National Midget titlist swept the night in 2016 by setting the fast time, winning his heat race, and leading all but the first lap of the feature en route to a dominant win.

In 2013, it was very nearly the same story as he set the quick time, finished 2^nd in his heat, and ended up leading the final 19 laps to score the feature victory.

Abreu hasn’t made an appearance with the series since the 2018 Turkey Night Grand Prix in Ventura, Calif. His most recent Eldora midget visit in 2018 was an abrupt one after flipping during qualifying.

Abreu heads a six-driver Keith Kunz Motorsports/Curb-Agajanian lineup along with defending series champ Logan Seavey (Sutter, Calif.) who charged from 13th to a 3rd place finish in his Eldora Midget debut a year ago. Sweet Springs, Mo. winner Tanner Carrick (Lincoln, Calif.) was 5th at Eldora last year while Tucker Klaasmeyer (Paola, Kans.) won his heat race and took 7th in the feature. Meanwhile, KKM teammates Jesse Colwell (Red Bluff, Calif.) and Holley Hollan (Broken Arrow, Okla.) will make their first appearances at Eldora.
