For Young\u2019s Motorsports, the weekend began with high hopes, particularly during practice, where the team aimed to dial in their No. 42 Dude Wipes Chevrolet Camaro.

Anthony Alfredo Pre-Race Quotes:<\/p>\n
On Sonoma Raceway: \u201cI\u2019m excited to return to Sonoma Raceway this weekend because it\u2019s one of my favorite road courses on the schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Preparation for Sonoma Raceway: \u201cStudying film has been valuable for the road course races, especially with some of the road course veterans that have been competing in these events the last few seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Sonoma Raceway Layout: \u201cSonoma was repaved last year, so it has a lot more grip than some of the other ones we go to. It also has a lot of elevation change, which makes it really fun and adds a level of character that some of the tracks don\u2019t have.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Keys to Success at Sonoma Raceway: \u201cScoring stage points would be big for us because of where we find ourselves in the standings currently.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we can do that and set ourselves up for a good finish, it will be a great weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Racing in Cooler Weather at Sonoma Raceway: \u201cCooler conditions certainly make it a little easier on the drivers and help with some of the tire degradation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be interesting to see if the wear is less because of the cooler temperatures, as it might allow us to be aggressive on tire strategy, like staying out on older tires if needed.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Rebounding from the Chicago Street Course Finish: \u201cIt\u2019s really important for us to continue bringing the speed we have had at the track, but we need to control the things that are in our control.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we do that and give our best effort every week, the chips will fall where they\u2019re supposed to.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Goals for the Second Half of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series Season: \u201cWe have had a lot of ups and downs throughout the first half of the race season, but I\u2019m confident we can recover by bringing fast cars to the track and executing well throughout this second half.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need more top-10s and a couple of top-fives before the end of the season. Ideally, winning just one race before the Playoffs is our ultimate goal because it would completely save our season.\u201d<\/p>\n
