TSR's Ricky Warner Claims Another Cometic Gasket Crew Chief of the Month Award with Rico Abreu

137 9/29/2026 High Limit Racing TSR's Ricky Warner Claims Another Cometic Gasket Crew Chief of the Month Award with Rico Abreu 5.3 Average Finish in 12 September Shows Pads Championship Lead for Carquest Auto Parts #24 Team MOORESVILLE, N.C. (September 29, 2026) - The busiest month in Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing history is now behind us, and one of the greatest crew chiefs of all-time came out on top once again after the 12-race slate. Earning 764 points over Sean Strausbaugh (743) with Tanner Holmes' Buch Motorsports #13 and Eric Prutzman (731) with Giovanni Scelzi's Spire Motorsports #77, Ricky Warner claimed his seventh Cometic Gasket Crew Chief of the Month Award as the head wrench of Rico Abreu's Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing #24. Entering the month with a slim 36-point lead over Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing, Abreu and TSR leave September with a much larger 116-point advantage over Giovanni Scelzi and Spire Motorsports. That 80-point increase was made possible by a 5.3 average finish in 12 September shows - highlighted by a $126,000 Skagit Nationals win and a sixth title in Eldora's 4-Crown Nationals. The Cometic Gasket Crew Chief of the Month standings will reset one last time for the month of October with four races at two tracks planned for Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing. Kansas City's Lakeside Speedway is first on Friday and Saturday, October 9-10 before Fort Worth's Texas Motor Speedway hosts the All-In Championship Weekend on Friday and Saturday, October 16-17.
