“I am very excited to join the Young’s Motorsports team this season. I certainly respect what Tyler and his team are building,” Alfredo said in a press release. “It’s clear they are determined to become a serious contender in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, and I look forward to being a part of that. I am grateful for the opportunity and am ready to make the most of it.”
“This is huge for us,” team principal Tyler Young said in a press release. “Anthony is a wheelman. The NXS competition is stout. He absolutely has what it takes to win in this field. I am pumped we get to keep growing our Xfinity program with him this season.”
Andrew Abbott, who was crew chief for Leland Honeyman and the No. 42 in 2024, will continue to sit atop the pit box for the team in 2025. In 130 Xfinity Series races, Abbott has accumulated four top fives and 13 top 10s.
