The Connecticut native announced on Jan. 14 that he will drive full-time for Young's Motorsports. He will control the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro while Dude Wipes continues supporting him as a primary sponsor.
According to the announcement, crew chief Andrew Abbott will continue leading the No. 42 team as Young's Motorsports embarks upon its sophomore season in the Xfinity Series. Abbott has 130 Xfinity races on his crew chief resume, which includes four top-five finishes and 13 top-10s.

"I am very excited to join the Young's Motorsports team this season," Alfredo said in a press release. "I certainly respect what Tyler (Young) and his team are building.
"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."
Alfredo has spent the last three seasons competing full-time in the Xfinity Series while making sporadic starts in the Cup Series. He spent 2022 and '24 with Our Motorsports while posting a total of three top-five finishes and 11 top-10s.
He spent the 2023 season with BJ McLeod Motorsports and posted two top-10 finishes. Alfredo's best finishes in 115 career Xfinity starts were third at Texas Motor Speedway in 2020 and third at Talladega Superspeedway last season.
Alfredo now replaces Leland Honeyman Jr., who moves to Derrike Cope Racing for 2025. Honeyman had two top-10s last season but failed to finish three of the final five races due to various issues.
"This is huge for us," Young's Motorsports team principal Tyler Young said in a statement. "Anthony is a wheelman.
"The Xfinity Series 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."
