\u25cf Year Two, Full Throttle: In January, Young\u2019s Motorsports announced that NASCAR Xfinity Series veteran Anthony Alfredo would compete full-time for the team in its second year of Xfinity Series competition.<\/p>\n
Alfredo is driving the No. 42 Young\u2019s Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro for the entire 33-race schedule, which continues with this Saturday\u2019s Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway.<\/p>\n
\u25cf About Anthony: A popular driver, Alfredo, a native of Ridgefield, Connecticut, joins Young\u2019s Motorsports with an array of Motorsports experience, including starts in the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR CRAFTSMAN\u00ae Truck Series, respectively.<\/p>\n
The 2025 season will mark Alfredo\u2019s fourth full-time Xfinity Series campaign, and he joins the Mooresville, N.C.-based team after spending the 2024 season with Our Motorsports.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old finished 15th in the 2024 Xfinity Series driver standings, highlighted by a Dash 4 Cash victory at Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway. He added two more top-five finishes and seven top-10s to his career totals, further strengthening his r\u00e9sum\u00e9 across 144 Xfinity Series starts.<\/p>\n
\u25cf All-Aboard!: For the 28th of 33 Xfinity Series races this season, Young\u2019s Motorsports welcomes back DUDE Wipes as the primary partner on the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro for the 200-lap race on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
DUDE Wipes is the flagship product of DUDE Products, a men\u2019s hygiene company that was founded in 2012 by lifelong friends in Chicago.<\/p>\n
The U.S.-based company introduced DUDE Wipes as the first flushable wipe for adults, marketed as a better hygiene solution to dry toilet paper.<\/p>\n
The brand is available online and in 20,000 stores nationwide, including Walmart, Target and Amazon.<\/p>\n
Kansas Speedway marks the 15th race where DUDE Wipes has served as the anchor partner on the No. 42 Young\u2019s Motorsports Chevrolet this season.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Anthony Alfredo Xfinity Series Kansas Speedway Stats: Saturday\u2019s Kansas Lottery 300 will mark Alfredo\u2019s fifth career start at the vastly popular 1.5-mile speedway, planted in the heart of the Midwest.<\/p>\n
Alfredo earned a track-best of 15th after starting 20th in the fall 2024 edition of the Kansas Lottery 300 for Our Motorsports.<\/p>\n
The Xfinity Series veteran driver will look to improve his overall Kansas Speedway average finish of 22.3.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Alfredo has two NASCAR Cup Series starts at Kansas Speedway with a best effort of 23rd after starting 22nd in the 2021 Buschy McBusch Race 400, driving for Front Row Motorsports. \ufeff

Twenty-seven races into the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season \u2014 and with the regular season now in the rearview mirror, Anthony Alfredo and the Young\u2019s Motorsports No. 42 team still plan to make some noise in the Playoffs.<\/p>\n
While they won\u2019t compete for a championship, they still have the chance to contend for victories and shake up the Playoff grid in the final stretch of the year.<\/p>\n
This weekend, the series heads to Kansas Speedway for the Kansas Lottery 300, the 28th race of the season and the second stop of the Playoffs.<\/p>\n
The fast, 1.5-mile oval is notorious for producing tight racing, bold strategy calls, and momentum-shifting finishes that often set the tone for the rest of the postseason.<\/p>\n
For Alfredo and the No. 42 Chevrolet team, the approach remains simple: go all out for a<\/p>\n
strong performance or perhaps even a win.<\/p>\n
A breakthrough victory at Kansas would serve as the ultimate payoff for the resilience they\u2019ve shown all season, while also rewriting the Playoff storyline by denying a postseason contender an all-important win and momentum boost.<\/p>\n
Saturday afternoon\u2019s race isn\u2019t just another event \u2014 it\u2019s a critical Playoff showdown, where contenders fight to advance and underdogs like Alfredo and Young\u2019s Motorsports have every opportunity to steal the spotlight.<\/p>\n
Then on Sunday, the spotlight shifts to the NASCAR Cup Series with the Hollywood Casino 400, Round 2 of the Round of 12.<\/p>\n
With two more opportunities to secure a ticket to the Round of 8, fans can expect high drama, bold moves, and season-defining moments on the Kansas high banks.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Anthony Alfredo Xfinity Series Career Stats: Entering Kansas, Alfredo has 145 NASCAR Xfinity Series races to his credit, earning a career-best third-place finish twice, most recently at Talladega Superspeedway after starting 11th in the 2024 edition of the Ag-Pro 300 for Our Motorsports.<\/p>\n
Since 2020, he has earned one pole, five top-five, and 23 top-10 finishes and has an average finish of 20.2.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway | Food City 300 Race Recap: The NASCAR Xfinity Series stormed into Bristol, Tennessee, for one of the most highly anticipated Playoff races of the season at the \u201cWorld\u2019s Fastest Half-Mile.\u201d<\/p>\n
Taking on the Food City 300, Anthony Alfredo and the Young\u2019s Motorsports team looked to showcase their short-track strength under the lights.<\/p>\n
Rolling off 27th, outside the Playoff bubble, Alfredo wasted little time pedaling the No. 42 Dude Wipes Chevrolet forward once the green flag waved.<\/p>\n
While passing proved to be a challenge throughout the night, Alfredo\u2019s relentless drive allowed him to steadily make progress despite battling grip issues on the rigid 0.533-mile concrete surface.<\/p>\n
Hovering around the top 20, the team had positioned themselves for a potential surge in Stage 3.<\/p>\n
However, contact in a late-race incident with just 30 laps to go forced an unscheduled pit stop to survey potential damage.<\/p>\n
Alfredo returned to the track and methodically picked off positions in the closing laps, but time ultimately ran out, leaving the No. 42 team to settle for a 22nd-place finish at the checkered flag.<\/p>\n
With the homestretch quickly approaching, Young\u2019s Motorsports will lean on their experience and never-give-up attitude to propel them forward through the rest of the season \u2014 a closing stretch that features a blend of speedways, a road course, a superspeedway and short tracks.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Calling the Shots: Guiding Alfredo as crew chief of the No. 42 Young\u2019s Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro is longtime crew chief Andrew Abbott.<\/p>\n
On Saturday afternoon, he will be crew chief in his 157th NASCAR Xfinity Series race. In his previous 156 races, he has four top-five and 14 top-10 finishes.<\/p>\n
\ufeffThe season\u2019s 28th race will be his sixth tango at Kansas Speedway as crew chief in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.<\/p>\n
With his guidance, he led Jeremy Clements to a sixth-place finish in the 2019 Kansas Lottery 300.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Young\u2019s Motorsports\u2019 NASCAR Xfinity Series at Kansas Speedway: This weekend will mark Young\u2019s Motorsports\u2019 second appearance in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in the \u201cLand of Oz.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last September, rookie driver Leland Honeyman Jr. started in the 38th position and methodically inched forward throughout 200 laps to score a 25th-place finish.<\/p>\n

Anthony Alfredo Pre-Race Quotes:<\/p>\n
On Kansas Speedway: \u201cI\u2019m excited to head to Kansas Speedway because I feel like it has been a while since we raced on a regular intermediate track.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are making games on those and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing how we perform on Saturday afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Biggest Challenges at Kansas Speedway: \u201cKansas Speedway has more tire wear and fall off than most other 1.5-mile race tracks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis makes it really fun, but you definitely have to manage your tires the best you can behind the wheel to have an advantage that could put you in a good position for the end of the race.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the Keys to Success at Kansas Speedway: \u201cTire wear is huge at Kansas Speedway, so it opens up the door for strategy when it comes to when to pit for tires.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Kansas Speedway Expectations: \u201cA top 15 finish would be a great run for us, but I know if there isn\u2019t much attrition for us to capitalize on, we would be content with a top 20 effort.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Goals for the Remainder of 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series Season: \u201cWe need to continue performing at a high level and finishing well throughout the rest of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur main goal for the final few weeks of Racing should be to execute at a high level and control what is in our control. That\u2019s really all we can do and hopefully that allows us to finish the year on a high note.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have faith we can make the top 20 in points, even though it seems like a far reach.\u201d<\/p>\n
On This Past Weekend\u2019s Final Break of the Xfinity Series Season: \u201cMy wife and I are having a baby in about two months now, so the last off weekend was spent doing some preparations and getting the nursery ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the Most Recent NASCAR Xfinity Series Race at Bristol Motor Speedway: \u201cI felt like we returned to Bristol with a much more competitive race car and put herself in a great position at the end of the race.<\/p>\n
