CONGRATS RICO ABREU, a WoO WINNER at ELDORA

Just a few more short soundbites from Eldora Speedway's 4-Crown Nationals 2023 weekend, featuring Rico Abreu who went on to win the World of Outlaws feature event on the "Night Before". Rico continues to have an amazing season in open wheel competition with some very dynamic people around him, most specifically his crew chief Ricky Warner. I also chatted with Mark Bitner, who pulled all the way from Trenton, New Jersey to race at Eldora for the very first time in the USAC Champ Car division...that and more flavor from Eldora's 4-Crown Nationals weekend. Enjoy...and thanks for your support. #EldoraSpeedway #RicoAbreu #WorldOfOutlaws #SprintCars #DirtTrackRacing #HistoryMysteryMan

Thanks for the Rico interview! He’s always exciting to watch! Doing interviews back to back with Trey Osborne and Rico shows that there really isn’t a stereotype physique in Sprint Car racing! Diversity thrives on dirt!

Great video HMM!
Love Rico.

[@robertayers9424]

Thanks for sharing more of the sights and sounds of the Big E . Almost as good as being there ! If only you could share the smells.
A pleasure as always!

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

Thanks Robert...working on the smells. HMM

[@brucec2635]

Never slows down.

[@chuckg6039]

Thanks Don for bringing the Friday night 4-Crown back to my memory. Got to love Rico. Was interesting listening to how he answered your question about is Kyle the best driver. They are good buddies, going back a long way......but Rico didn't seem to overly enthalled to respond to that question. And his facial expression even looked a bit miffed to me. Maybe that was just his competitive nature.....meaning I can beat him and I'm just as fast. All good.

[@DJDouglasWarden]

yes these racing drivers are very competitive and I'm sure have quite the eagles to go along with it. it's probably not easy admitting it one of your close friends is the best when you think you're just as good

[@chuckg6039]

Totally agree. The reason top drivers get to the top is being confident of their abilities. And a can beat them all mentality.@@DJDouglasWarden

[@jamesakers1175]

Hey Rico is no slouch. He will through it in there with the best of them and come out on top. He has no fear of wrecking out and has been on his top before. Best pound for pound of any out there.

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

Those drivers never stop competing...on or off the track. Thanks Chuck.

[@mr.obvious4371]

Sweet nice work HMM

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

Thanks again! HMM

[@rayisland23]

Mark Bitner has been racing for many years sprint cars dirt modified's his nickname is "Mr. Twister"

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

Mr. Twister...I like that one; thanks. HMM

[@jeffh5664]

Is Rico related to Tom Abreu? Used to watch Tom Abreu run NARC sprint cars in nor-cal, back in the early to mid 80s. A pretty popular driver who was pretty competitive too.

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

Good question...I'll ask him. Thanks...HMM

[@arrowkart4j]

Mark Bitner and his Family are great people. He helped so many in racing. Good engine builder.

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

Glad I was able to sneak him in. Thanks...HMM

[@paulstickel5583]

Rico, in your opinion who is the second best driver today?

[@chuckg6039]

I just made a comment about this.

[@Zilla23]

Thanks Rico . Well done HMM . I thought Tony Stewart won 3 out of the Four . Guess not .

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

You're welcome...not sure on Stewart. HMM

[@jeffreyprater1715]

I told Doug Vandeventer when I was down seeing Uncle Karl that you’re going to get more views on your videos if you upload the entire show - because many people forget what you load up.

[@drewpierce2273]

The 24 has been putting out great horsepower and has been bad fast all season with Rico figuring out the chassis/tire setups. It's been a heck of a great season with the top 5 WoO racers so close, but Rico could still win it all.

[@busher69]

Ricky Warner figuring out chassis and tires. Ricky and Rico have really clicked this year

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

Great combo...the Ricky-Rico duo.

[@christianmayhew2617]

@6:06 - 6:09 lol.............Shame on you HMM.

[@chuckg6039]

HMM is just trying his best to bring us all the action.

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

Ha! I'm too damn old for shame!

[@christianmayhew2617]
