LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. (May 29, 2026) – While Rico Abreu controlled all 30 laps and cruised through traffic in Friday's Driven2SaveLives Battle at the Burg, the drama behind him did not disappoint, with championship chaos and jaw-dropping rallies supplying fans with plenty of unforgettable moments.

Earning a front row start after an Ace in the Hole heat race by going from fourth to first, Abreu beat Aaron Reutzel to the early lead at Lawrenceburg Speedway.

Abreu then survived a pair of restarts, both due to Kyle Larson cautions – one for a flat tire and the other for a multi-car accident – before the race changed drastically on lap 21.

Behind the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, Carquest Auto Parts No. 24, a torrid fight for the second spot was brewing between Reutzel and Tanner Thorson before it all came to a crashing halt in turn four.

Colliding in the heat of battle, the Ridge & Sons Racing No. 87 went flipping and the Rod Gross Motorsports No. 88 suffered significant damage too, ending the race for both championship contenders.

From there, the theatrics shifted to Larson, who rallied from the 20th position after two trips to the tail to storm through the field and finish right behind Abreu.

The Silva Motorsports No. 57 pilot took the green on a single-file restart with nine laps left sitting in the 11th spot. He made his way to sixth with five to go and stood in fourth as the white flag waved, then made one last ditch effort to nab second in stunning fashion at the checkered.

Out front, however, it was all about St. Helena, California’s finest as Abreu made it back-to-back wins in the Driven2SaveLives Battle at the Burg – also winning the race last September.

The win marked his second trip to High Limit victory lane this year – his third 410 sprint car score overall – and pushed his record to 27 career wins with Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing,

Due to Thorson and Reutzel’s misfortune, the defending High Limit champion used his strong performance to assume the points lead for the first time this season – currently in front of a four-car scrum separated by just 46 points.

Settling for second-place honors with his late-race comeback, Larson made it six straight top-two performances at Lawrenceburg oval.

It was a big shot of momentum for Larson, as he returns to NASCAR duties at Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway this weekend before a busy slate of sprint car starts with High Limit Racing.

Rounding out the podium at Lawrenceburg was Indiana’s own Parker Price-Miller, finishing third aboard Bernie & Betsy Stuebgen’s Indy Race Parts No. 71. Friday night marked the third-career High Limit podium for the Kokomo native.

Finishing fourth was Giovanni Scelzi aboard a special Driven2SaveLives No. 77 for Spire Motorsports – which officially tied him with Brad Sweet for the longest consecutive top-10 streak in High Limit history at 17 races.

Closing out the top 10 on Friday were Tyler Courtney, Tanner Holmes, Justin Peck, Brent Marks, Kalib Henry, and Sye Lynch.
