TULSA, Okla. — Rico Abreu continued Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports’ incredible start to Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals week with a runaway victory during Hard Rock Casino Qualifying Night on Wednesday.
Abreu stormed past polesitter and early leader Cole Bodine on lap eight, using an outside-inside crossover down the backstretch to surge to the point and never looking back from there.
The two-time Chili Bowl winner then pulled away over the final 17 laps, opening up a 1.794-second margin of victory over fellow Toyota stablemate David Gravel at the finish.
“I had a great car,” Abreu said. “Keith and I just kind of worked on it all night. We were a little snug, but I knew as the track developed, it would come right to us. I hit three really good laps on the bottom, and it shot me to the lead.
