Alfredo comes up short placing above the top twenty cars in the 2024 Xfinity Series Toyotacare event in Richmond, .
Heading into Virginia’s capital city, Alfredo looked to add another victory to his record of top fifteen finishes so far in 2024 but his latest performance proves a minor setback for the team.
Although spirits were high, it didn’t take long for Richmond Raceway’s short racetrack and impending grooves to take its toll on each racer. Almost immediately, drivers began to face challenges with one car erupting into flames by turn four, the first major setback which placed Our Motorsports driver Anthony Alfredo in twenty-seventh place. With his work cut out for him, Alfredo worked his way through the competition just as the No. 5 Chevrolet Camaro began to face challenges of its own including a brake malfunction that sent Alfredo right to the pit lane.
Despite these early obstacles, Alfredo continued to prove himself as a fierce contender in running the same pace as leading drivers throughout the race stating, “it’s not over, until the checkered flag comes out.” However, this confidence was short lived as Alfredo was ultimately unable to claim another top fifteen finish, placing 29th in the event.
Finishing above the top twenty comes as a harsh reality for Our Motorsports as the team, as well as their driver Anthony Alfredo know that performance could’ve been better. Looking to put his Toyotacare performance in the rearview mirror with another top fifteen win, Alfredo has his mind set on the DudeWipes 250 event at Martinsville Raceway this upcoming evening at 7:30pm EST, Saturday April 6th, 2024.
