SARVER, PA (July 23, 2024) — Rico Abreu proved that smooth and steady won the race during the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Tuesday night at Lernerville Speedway with the Kubota High Limit Sprint Car Series. Abreu, from St. Helena, California, took the lead after Tyler Courtney and James McFadden made contact racing for the lead and held off challenges from Corey Day and Brad Sweet in the closing laps for the victory. The win was Abreu’s 6th feature victory of the 2024 season, picking up the $25,000 top prize in the process.
Tyler Courtney took the lead at the start and took advantage of caution flags for for Spencer Bayston slowing, and a pair of red flag for a massive flip for Brandon Spithaler off turn three along with Sye Lynch getting upside down on the front stretch to avoid slower traffic.
The red for Lynch ended up being Courtney’s undoing. After the restart James McFadden challenged Courtney for the lead when the pair made contact off turn four. Both cars suffered enough damage where Courtney’s car was sideways on the race track and McFadden drove into the work area as the caution came out.
This handed the lead to Abreu after driving up from 8th starting position. Abreu had challengers of his own in Brad Sweet and Corey Day that both pressured Abreu after the restart, but Abreu was up to the challenge running the cushion around the top of the race track that was tricky to navigate at time for the win. Day, Sweet, Anthony Macri, and Cory Eliason from 10th starting position rounded out the top five.
