Brad Daugherty from Fox said something during the Dan Wheldon tributes I thought very enlightening. He said "what separates race car drivers from all other types of athletes in the world is that a for him, basketball is what he did. For drivers, it's who they are."
I have always liked Rico and have always been impressed with him, both as a driver and a person. In all the times we raced with him or talked with him, never a big ego, no entitlement attitude, just a down to earth guy who loves to race.
Rico Abreu and Jonathan Allard should both be commended for their actions. Unfortunately, mainstream media nor ESPN or FOX Sports will say word one about this "good news" story on sprint car racing.
