by Lou ModestinoNovember 12, 2025

Santino Ferrucci of Woodbury, CT, is confirmed to compete in the next Chili Bowl Midget Nationals (the 2026 event) for Abacus Racing. He also competed in the most recent event, the 2025 Chili Bowl Nationals, where he raced the No. 16 entry with primary sponsorship from Webco Engineering.

Ferrucci, an NTT IndyCar Series driver, is a frequent participant in the Chili Bowl, a race he has called the “Indy 500 for the dirt world”. He looks to improve his performance in the upcoming event, having had a “wild ride” in the 2025 edition. He made his Chili Bowl debut in 2021.

Chalk up another one for Rico Abreu.

It’s been a dream season for the St. Helena, CA native, and he’s got no intentions of letting his foot off the gas as 2025 winds down.

Abreu entered World of Outlaws World Finals week with a nation-leading 20 Sprint Car victories this year. One thing lacking from his résumé was a win at North Carolina’s The Dirt Track at Charlotte with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars. He’d been close with a trio of runner-ups including one in his most recent appearance, but he doesn’t have to be the bridesmaid anymore.
