A convincing display, nonetheless, Abreu earned his $10,000 triumph from the second row, driving by CJB Motorsports’ Spencer Bayston to take command on lap seven, holding off eventual challenges from Brad Sweet, Donny Schatz and James McFadden along the way. The World of Outlaws victory bumped Abreu’s career tally to nine.
