Anthony Alfredo has finalized a Daytona race deal with Viking Motorsports and Alpha Prime Racing, confirming his entry in the No. 4 Chevrolet for the season-opening O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Daytona International Speedway. This agreement comes after Alfredo initially missed qualifying for the United Rentals 300, where the No. 96 Chevrolet landed 41st in the final qualifying standings based on 2025 owner points.
How Alfredo Secured His Spot
Alfredo’s entry into the Daytona event was enabled through a collaboration between Viking Motorsports and Alpha Prime, despite his earlier setback in the America 250 Florida Duels where his run was disallowed. Caesar Bacarella, co-owner at Alpha Prime, had already locked in a race spot with the 26th fastest time, securing a spot for his team.
Benefits for Driver and Team
This partnership not only lets Alfredo and his sponsor Dude Wipes race at Daytona International Speedway, but also has implications for scoring across the series. While Alfredo will be able to earn driver points as a full-time competitor, the No. 4 Alpha Prime entry, now involved through Viking Motorsports, will receive owner points in the competition. The teams’ collaboration ensures continued involvement for all stakeholders throughout the racing season.

As the season-opening event approaches at Daytona International Speedway, all parties are set to compete for points, drawing attention to one of stock car racing’s most anticipated events of the year.
