ABREU RESUMES MIDGET TITLE CHASE AT "4-CROWN" SATURDAY
Rico Abreu returns to the Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio Saturday to defend his "4-Crown Nationals" Midget title and looks to protect the 82-point cushion he enjoys over Tracy Hines in the Honda USAC National Midget series.
Abreu's 2014 resume is remarkable. He has recorded 11 "podium" finishes in 13 starts, including four victories.
The 25-lap Midget race precedes a 30-lap AMSOIL USAC National Sprint feature and the 50-lap USAC Silver Crown finale at the half-mile dirt oval.
Hines has 11 career Eldora wins, including two in Midgets. He is tied with Rich Vogler on the all-time USAC Eldora list behind Jack Hewitt's 24 and Dave Darland's 14.
2014 Honda USAC National Midget Standings: 1-Rico Abreu-822; 2-Tracy Hines-740; 3-Christopher Bell-719; 4-Bryan Clauson-675; 5-Zach Daum-606; 6-Chris Windom-559; 7-Tanner Thorson-531; 8-Michael Pickens-499; 9-Dave Darland-418; 10-A.J. Felker-378.
