On Boxing Night 2023, Rico Abreu drove a Sprint Car in Australia for the first time in almost 11 years.
Making his first ever visit to the incredible Perth Motorplex in Western Australia, Abreu slowly but surely came to grips with the 500-metre clay oval...

Rico is one special guy in the Sport of Racing. A genuine People Person. Never whines when things are not up to par, but wins his share of events. Go Rico.

[@kevinlittle9869]

He's a. Badass ! 💯✌️

[@fivecitydirttracker4776]

That was well said. I agree fully. Never has Rico not waved back or made time to chat if he's able. Thats been my experience with the Dynamo ✌️

[@AudreyH48]

That was awesome. Rico is such a cool guy, really happy he's one of the drivers representing the USA.

[@shawnfollmer4491]

Rico is a legend.

[@davidvanbrunt4233]

Rico IS a beast, don't let the size fool you .....see you in Tulare Rico !!!

[@rogermccluskey2227]

It’s really Bitchin to listen to Rico and how much he is come along in the last few years the tire deal is huge

[@neilr4867]

I've been away from the sprintcar scene since the mid 90s. Your channel has got me so keen to get back watching some racing again. Fantastic content.

[@SprintCarHub]

That is so awesome to hear. Returning fans and new fans enjoying our content is so fulfilling. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment afterwards. -Toby

[@BeagleBageler]

I first learned about Abreu when he was in the NASCAR truck series a little bit back, glad to see he’s still racing and doing well like usual!

[@RPGtracker]

10:34 Cory fits right into the Aussie spirit and knows exactly how us Aussies race 😂 That night when he came down was about as good as it gets before Brad Sweet came to race, just gotta love the Americans they’re just so good to watch and just down right funny! Can’t wait to see you guys tommorow maybe I’ll pop in and say hi :)

[@TassyDeval]

24:33 "A big dump on the track" thatll bring out the red everytime, phew. There is absolutely nothing about this guy that I dont like. What a role model.

[@rallyman1122]

Excellent video. A really good look into what these top level drivers put into the sport night in night out. Rico is the real deal!

[@SprintCarHub]

Thanks so much! And yes - Rico doesn't muck around. -Toby

[@billslack1879]

that added nicely to earlier replays

[@67comet]

That was a really awesome show "Sprint Car Hub". I don't think us "merikans get to see our guys from another countries point of view very often. Rico did us proud, I'm excited to see him shaking it up with Larson and Sweet again this year in High Limits. Keep on keepin' on, it's awesome to see it all.

[@dalesandberg6474]

Rico is a special racer and a special person! Go Rico and crew members!

[@geoffcurran3654]

That was excellent and amazing. Rico gives so much of his time, incredible how the drivers can still focus on their racing with everything else going on around him during the night

[@luke3757]

this was the best sprint car video I've ever seen. great job 🏁🏁

[@SprintCarHub]

That means a lot. Thank you. I just want people to enjoy our sport through our content. Thanks for watching and supporting us. -Toby

[@WilliamRudolph-wd4vi]

Way to go RICO. Making America Proud

[@ollysfishing4231]

This right here is what its all about! I love the way you soak up the facilities every single time you come over, remember when i asked you what your most memorable moment since creating sprintcar hub? Id say itd have to be night 1 and 2 of our speedweek!

[@billslack1879]

looking good rico!!!

[@vaughanoke1059]

Rico is a class act.

[@almostthere2024]

So cool. Great vid and what a great guy Rico is. 10/10. Go Perth!!!

[@deanhoman1958]

What a tremendous performance 👍👍

[@markclavell2703]

Hope you interview Rico’s crew before they head back … would love to hear what they think about their Aussie adventure.

[@kevinblakemore6445]

What an Awesome Race! & Video. Thanks a lot for this video.

[@jerryseymour2738]

That's where I wanta be next Christmas!

[@curtishoke143]

Great video one of the best I've seen great job, Rico is a class act and a ambassador to sprint car racing and he always has time for the fans, I got to know him at HPI bike night in Indianapolis Indiana and been watching him race all over the USA , he is a great dude

[@waywatcher4191]

Toby, your coverage is second to none - as always. What you are doing for our sport is amazing, brilliant ... i can't find enough good things to say about what you've done for Sprintcar racing in this country. Not to mention, your commitment to generating connections in the US market has arguably done more for Australian Sprintcar racing in the last 1-2years than any other organisation or entity in this country in the last few decades. Fantastic work.

[@jonn6427]

Great video, thanks for taking me along for the ride. I live in Iowa and know what Rico and sprints are all about. Thanks again.

[@SprintCarHub]

Thanks for watching!

[@kevinpaul627]

One word……. AWESOME!!!👍🍻🇺🇸🙏🏼

[@dionware9858]

One of your best ever, Rico is awsome And looks like a great venue

[@lionteam]

let's goo rico

[@RPGtracker]

Can’t believe I met him that night and I was even on night thunder whilst my photo was being taken lol. After I had the photo I almost cried cause I was so happy, when we sat sat down my mum said he looked really overwhelmed with fans and now this video proves that 😂

[@buddhavb3616]

Great racing complex. Great fans and a lot of enthusiasm. Looks like a fantastic night at the track! Enjoy!!

[@SprintCarHub]

It was a great night! Thanks for watching and commenting! -Toby

[@reedfan489]

Awesome video Toby. Was such a great night of racing and so good to see behind the scenes with Rico. Thanks for making such great videos 👍👍👍

[@tighescott691]

GREAT JOB

[@rogermccluskey2227]

Column is for real

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

Thanks for the spoiler alert.

[@dylanterryphoto]

Badass video Toby!

[@SprintCarHub]

Thank you! I'm stoked that you enjoyed it enough to comment. i appreciate that. But also, Rico made it as good as it was. The win really topped things off. -Toby

[@velvetjones1856]

What a wonderful facility. I saw it before when Street Outlaws was there.

[@Jordan-RW]

*Amazing content as always.* *Mashallah habibi!*

[@donmathias1705]

Awesome wee video. Great insite into the life of a crew and driver. Love to see some telemetry overplayed onto some shots.

[@DougCupitt]

Well done rico

[@lukehiggins4]

Awesome video mate, loved the insight

[@ronstewart9792]

Way to go Rico. Awesome race.

[@pauloehmen1665]

One of the best for sure

[@rader1175]

Rico Suave !! Great driver Sprint Cars & Beer ! See you at my home track Williams Grove !

[@stevegabbert9626]

Hey, send one of those Utes over here to Illinois for me, just make it an FPV. I went to Australia in 2015/16, for 6 weeks of racing. Got in 12 nights of racing, at 9 tracks, and in 5 states. The Late Model National Championship at Perth was the last 2 races for me. Favorite track? Over all it has to be Perth, but Premier Speedway was second, mainly because of the meat pies they have, they're really good. I knew Rico would like Perth, it's his kind of track. Great job with the video. It's diverse, you covered pretty much everything, and closed it out properly.

[@stratman21]

This night was unbelievable and it was so good to be there, then the 28th and Brad Sweet came along. Your content is capturing all this in a way I for one am so grateful for. I told you as I came in I should have worn my 'naughty' hub shirt, wearing it for sure tonight for night 4 of the Rico/Sweet/Zearfoss/Eliason show. Don't know if you're still here, but hope so because the way you catch all this is just the best

[@rhizomeme]

Champion channel!

[@526clark]

Thank You for this

[@chuckg6039]

Rico was born to race sprint cars! Love that guy

[@markallen3752]

Sprintcar drivers gotta have the biggest balls out of all motorsports racing!! Great in car camera views!

[@michaellane1316]

The Aussies are solid with their open wheeled racing.

[@tomchristensen3392]

Very cool from Cali

[@williamwertman24]

It's so cool I can watch sprint car racing going on yet while we are at the beginning of winter. 33f degrees and snowing in the other dirt track capitol of the world pennsylvania. Won't see a race here for another month at lincoln speedway for the ice breaker.

[@unclebones2488]

GO RICO!

[@hemimarteni6729]

qaulity video,remarkable talent and person

[@dilligaf2818]

that Rico is top bloke

[@blmarti]

great video awesome track

[@rogermccluskey2227]

Callum is for real

[@Landon21racing]

Rico's eye contact with the camera is consant lol

[@davidsteele4463]

Car was a rocket

[@rogermccluskey2227]

Great video by the way thank you

[@SprintCarHub]

Thank you, Roger! -Toby

[@anggr4549]

Americans own dirt racing ! Way to go Rico

[@jessejames2546]

I kind of figured Rico would be a huge star in Australia, we have sprint car friends in Adelaide, great vid man

[@SprintCarHub]

Rico is a star everywhere he goes! And rightly so. Thanks for watching and commenting! -Toby

[@robertahrens9481]

Rico fan base is growing

[@OzFPVflyer]

Rico's sprint car must have double the horsepower than the others to carry his massive balls to victory.

[@wg5768]

Misleading video title! He didn't start last in the feature. Rico is a great driver and a great guy. I hope he wins the High Limit championship this year.

[@SprintCarHub]

The video title doesn’t say he started last in the feature 😊

[@ribbonsofnight]

@@SprintCarHub the video title is clickbait. You get the choice to do better.

[@kenjoseph-bw5bo]

Rico - rockstar status

[@Shanes_Shed]

I was hoping to have been in the crowd, but unfortunately come down with Covid. Hooping to go to the Bunbury meet however as I'll be in the area

[@toddfletcher64]

That’s a Hubalicious Video . Next level

[@sethsisneros6630]

Ricos a bad man, I would like to see if that car control translates into a different racing series maybe trucks?

[@dartymcphee6738]

Does anyone know any info about if or when they are building a new track in Brisbane?

[@paulhall170]

Many things change in speedway, but one thing doesn't; these American pros, who run every week and sometimes several times a week, are too tough when they come out here and race against our guys! In the mean time, I'm suffering from speedway withdrawal, with no track in Sydney, Nowra's pits rained out on the 31st, and only one meeting a month at both Nowra and Goulburn. If what has happened to Eastern Creek had been under the watch of a private company, someone would have been charged with some sort of corporate crime by now. In the mean time the state Labor Government can wash its hands and offer the usual 'It was the other guys' excuse, and do nothing about this gross waste of taxpayers' money.

[@thomasholland3289]

Rico is one of THE BADDEST MUTHA TRUCKERS of ALL TIME!

[@80nodrog]

"Jason Pryde just took a big dump, big wreck i should say" 😅😅😅😅

[@SprintCarHub]

😅 You get what I meant 💩 hahaha -Toby

[@metrichotrods1763]

Nerve synapses travel the same speed in the human body, from your hands and feet to your brain and back...whether youre 6'4" or 3'9". Midget racers are the future.

[@rogermccluskey2227]

A lot of people don’t really understand how difficult it is to raise competitively with drivers that you don’t normally race with it as a whole new element

[@mikehalling8046]

Put Rico in an Indy car and he would have a hundred pound advantage over the next lightest driver. Just saying.

[@dilligaf2818]

what ashame our biggest city has a shite facility .Imagine the world of outlaws over there in the 'Peoples Repbulic of Western Australia' !!LOL.

[@nevadadan4113]

Dude filming is a spazz... whipping his head around, camera all around. Chill out bro!!

[@seanmack4552]

Bit like you huh 😂 it cost you nothing to watch maybe don’t be such a rude prick…..

[@TheBuelliganRides]

SWEEEET!!!

[@MichaelWilliams-vb6wr]

Way to Go Shorty shure did stand tall on this night and hopefully you continue to Grow well I don't think you will grow 😂but I hope you get better 😂
