● Circuit of the Americas | Focused Health 250 Race Recap: The first road course of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season kicked off from Austin, Texas, with the Focused Health 250 on Saturday, March 1, 2025.
The Young’s Motorsports team took advantage of an extended practice to deliver the 19th fastest lap.
In qualifying on Friday evening, Alfredo picked up the pace and landed a season-high qualifying effort in the 17th position aboard his No. 42 Austin Gamblers Chevrolet Camaro.
Alfredo showcased the speed in his Chevrolet Camaro by carefully carving through the field to finish ninth in Stage 1.
On a different strategy, Alfredo and the Young’s Motorsports were resilient in Stage 2 – staying focused and disciplined, knowing they needed a track position to set themselves up for the third and final stage.
In Stage 3, Alfredo started inside the top-10 and remained in the hunt for his first top-10 finish of the season until he was involved in a late race spin with 14 laps to go.
Adding insult to injury, Alfredo had to make a stop-and-go penalty, which hindered his progress to fight back to the top-10.
Over the race’s final laps, however, Alfredo muscled his No. 42 Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro from 31st to 21st at the checkered flag.
After three races, the team aims to boost its average finish of 26.7 after a season-high 21st at Circuit of the Americas.
