Or even just big rough tracks where you're bouncing against this headrest in the seats.""I mean you can get a frickin' concussion doing that. It's about managing all of that, you know, understanding where you're racing. Who you're racing against and not pushing that extra bit when you're outside of your comfort zone. I think that you know, you could put yourself in big, big bad spots and it, it can be catastrophic at times if you take those big wrecks and then you gotta turn around and race the next night. That's the toughest part," he further added.Rico Abreu, also known as Rico Emanuel Abreu, is a renowned Sprint car driver.
