Logan Bearden Pre-Race Quotes:<\/p>\n
On Martinsville Speedway: \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to getting back to Martinsville this weekend. I\u2019ve raced here a couple of times in the Xfinity Series, so I have a good sense of what to expect from the track and how quickly things can happen over 200 laps.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut making my Truck Series debut at Martinsville adds a new layer of excitement. The trucks race a little differently \u2014 they\u2019re heavier, more physical and you really must be patient with your corner entry and exits.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m thankful to Young\u2019s Motorsports for the opportunity, and I\u2019m ready to take everything I\u2019ve learned from my Late Model and Xfinity experience and put together a solid race for this team.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Martinsville Speedway Preparation: \u201cMartinsville is one of those places where preparation makes all the difference.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s such a rhythm track \u2014 you have to be disciplined with your braking points, stay smooth on throttle and manage your tires over a long run. I\u2019ve spent a lot of time studying film, talking with other drivers and crew and working on the simulator at home to get as many laps as I can.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery lap matters at Martinsville. Track position is huge, and if we can keep the fenders clean and stay out of trouble early, I think we can put together a strong night for Young\u2019s Motorsports.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Goals for Martinsville Speedway: \u201cMy goal for Martinsville is to have a clean, consistent race and keep building on what I\u2019ve learned this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a tough place where patience and execution really matter. If we can stay out of trouble, make good adjustments and be in position late, I think we can come away with a solid finish that everyone at Young\u2019s Motorsports can be proud of.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just want to keep improving every lap, represent the team and our partners well and make the most of this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
On SBG Records Partnership: \u201cI\u2019m stoked to have SBG Records on the No. 02 Young\u2019s Motorsports Chevrolet this weekend. SBG represents some incredible bands. I\u2019m going to have one hell of a playlist this weekend to power us through the race.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u25cf Year Two, Full Throttle: In January, Young\u2019s Motorsports announced that NASCAR Xfinity Series veteran Anthony Alfredo would compete full-time for the team in its second year of Xfinity Series competition.<\/p>\n
Alfredo is driving the No. 42 Young\u2019s Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro for the entire 33-race schedule, which continues with this Saturday night\u2019s IAA and Ritchie Bros. 250 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway.<\/p>\n
\u25cf About Anthony: A popular driver, Alfredo, a native of Ridgefield, Connecticut, joins Young\u2019s Motorsports with an array of Motorsports experience, including starts in the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR CRAFTSMAN\u00ae Truck Series, respectively.<\/p>\n
The 2025 season will mark Alfredo\u2019s fourth full-time Xfinity Series campaign, and he joins the Mooresville, N.C.-based team after spending the 2024 season with Our Motorsports.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old finished 15th in the 2024 Xfinity Series driver standings, highlighted by a Dash 4 Cash victory at Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway. He added two more top-five finishes and seven top-10s to his career totals, further strengthening his r\u00e9sum\u00e9 across 149 Xfinity Series starts.<\/p>\n
\u25cf All-Aboard!: For the 32nd of 33 Xfinity Series races this season, Young\u2019s Motorsports welcomes back The Roth ID Tag\u2122 as the primary marketing partner on the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro for the 250-lap race this weekend.<\/p>\n

The tags can be used by any person, children or adults.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Happy (Early) Halloween: For this weekend\u2019s penultimate NASCAR Xfinity Series race, Anthony Alfredo and the Young\u2019s Motorsports team are getting into the Halloween spirit.<\/p>\n
Alfredo\u2019s No. 42 The Roth ID Tag\u2122 Chevrolet will showcase a festive Halloween paint scheme under the lights at Martinsville Speedway, featuring bold seasonal colors and spooky accents.<\/p>\n
The themed look adds a touch of October fall flair to the paperclip as the team aims to treat fans to a strong performance \u2014 and maybe even a few tricks on the track \u2014 Saturday night.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Anthony Alfredo Xfinity Series Martinsville Speedway Stats: Saturday night\u2019s IAA and Ritchie Bros. 250 will mark Alfredo\u2019s eighth career start at the popular 0.526-mile speedway nestled in the Old Dominion.<\/p>\n
Alfredo earned a track-best of seventh after starting second in the fall 2024 edition of the National Debt Relief 250 for Our Motorsports.<\/p>\n
The Xfinity Series veteran driver will look to improve his overall Martinsville Speedway average finish of 18.1.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Alfredo and the Young\u2019s Motorsports team showcased a lot of speed and top-10 finish potential, but were sidelined on Lap 110 of 256 with engine failure, resulting in a 38th-place finish.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Alfredo has three NASCAR Cup Series starts at Martinsville Speedway with a best effort of 20th after starting 32nd in the 2021 Xfinity 500 driving for Front Row Motorsports.<\/p>\n
Thirty-one races into the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season \u2014 and deep into the Playoff stretch \u2014 Anthony Alfredo and the Young\u2019s Motorsports No. 42 team remain determined to make some noise before the year comes to a close.<\/p>\n
While they won\u2019t compete for a championship, they still have the chance to chase victories and shake up the Playoff picture in the final weeks of the season.\u2019<\/p>\n
This weekend, the series heads to Martinsville Speedway for the IAA and Ritchie Bros. 250, the 31st race of the year and the next-to-last stop on the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series schedule.<\/p>\n
The historic 0.526-mile paperclip-shaped oval is known for its intensity \u2014 where tight corners, heavy braking, and bumper-to-bumper racing test patience, precision, and power.<\/p>\n
For Alfredo and the No. 42 Chevrolet team, the mission remains simple: deliver a strong performance, stay out of trouble, and capitalize on opportunity when it strikes \u2014 perhaps even with a late-race surge to Victory Lane.<\/p>\n
A breakthrough win at Martinsville would be the ultimate reward for the group\u2019s perseverance this season, while also shaking up the Playoff narrative by denying a contender a crucial ticket to the Championship 4 and rewriting the headlines heading into the finale at Phoenix.<\/p>\n
Saturday night\u2019s showdown at Martinsville anchors a triple-header weekend in Virginia, as all three of NASCAR\u2019s national series take the stage.<\/p>\n

Then on Sunday, the spotlight shifts to the NASCAR Cup Series with the Xfinity 500, where championship hopes and tempers alike will reach their boiling point on the sport\u2019s oldest active track.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a weekend built for short-track drama, determination, and opportunity \u2014 and for Alfredo and Young\u2019s Motorsports, Martinsville represents another chance to make noise before the 2025 season concludes in Phoenix.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Anthony Alfredo Xfinity Series Career Stats: Entering Martinsville, Alfredo has 149 NASCAR Xfinity Series races to his credit, earning a career-best third-place finish twice, most recently at Talladega Superspeedway after starting 11th in the 2024 edition of the Ag-Pro 300 for Our Motorsports.<\/p>\n

After recording a top-10 finish at the 2.66-mile superspeedway in the spring, the Mooresville, N.C.-based team returned to the legendary Alabama race track looking to duplicate or better their spring effort.<\/p>\n
Without the benefit of practice, Alfredo qualified his No. 42 Dude Wipes Chevrolet Camaro on time in the 27th position and was quickly on the move to the front of the field when the green flag dropped.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, his early race momentum was derailed when he was collected in a Lap 17 \u201cBig One\u201d accident, which prematurely ended the team\u2019s race with irreparable damage to their car.<\/p>\n
The team was left with a frustrating 33rd-place finish after being one of the seven teams affected by the incident.<\/p>\n
With the arrival of the homestretch, Young\u2019s Motorsports will lean on their experience and never-give-up attitude to propel them forward through the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n
This closing stretch features the short track at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway and the intermediate Phoenix (Ariz.) Raceway to close out the year.<\/p>\n

\ufeffOn Saturday night, he will be crew chief in his 161st NASCAR Xfinity Series race. In his previous 160 races, he has four top-five and 14 top-10 finishes.<\/p>\n
The season\u2019s 32nd race will be his seventh tango at Martinsville Speedway as crew chief in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.<\/p>\n
In his six previous leadership efforts at Martinsville, Abbott has earned a track-best 14th-place finish with driver Colin Garrett in the 2021 fall edition of the Dead On Tools 250.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Young\u2019s Motorsports\u2019 NASCAR Xfinity Series at Martinsville Speedway: This weekend will mark Young\u2019s Motorsports\u2019 fourth NASCAR Xfinity Series start at Martinsville Speedway.<\/p>\n
In the team\u2019s rookie season, the team earned an Xfinity-track best of 31st after starting 25th with rookie Leland Honeyman Jr. at the wheel in April 2024.<\/p>\n
A strong run in April\u2019s Marine Corps 250 for Alfredo and the Young\u2019s Motorsports team was derailed with an engine failure, just shy of the halfway point.<\/p>\n
While the family-owned team has limited NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at Martinsville, they do have an average starting position of 22.3 and an average finish of 22.4 in 34 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN\u00ae Truck Series Martinsville Speedway starts overall.<\/p>\n

On Racing Martinsville Speedway in the Fall: \u201cThe track might take rubber differently, given the cooler temperatures because of the time of year and time of day, knowing this is a night race, whereas the spring race was during the day.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Strategy and Track Position at Martinsville Speedway: \u201cIf the tire wear isn\u2019t too severe, there is an opportunity to stay out for track position late and be aggressive on pit strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the Most Recent NASCAR Xfinity Series Race at Talladega Superspeedway: \u201cWe had a fast car at Talladega Superspeedway and I was looking forward on capitalizing on that opportunity.<\/p>\n
