● Welcome to Young’s Motorsports: Continuing to be a home for grooming talent and offering experience in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series, Young’s Motorsports welcomes Treyten Lapcevich, who will be behind the wheel of its flagship No. 02 Chevrolet Silverado RST for Thursday night’s UNOH 250 presented by Ohio Logistics at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway.

Lapcevich will be the seventh driver to pilot the team’s No. 02 Chevrolet Silverado this week in Thunder Valley.

He will join Ben Maier as the two drivers to make their NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series debut in 2025 with the Mooresville, N.C.-based team.

● About Treyten: Canadian rising star Treyten Lapcevich is quickly making his mark across North American stock car racing. The Grimsby, Ontario native, born April 6, 2004, grew up in a racing family — his father Jeff and brother Cayden both established racers, with Cayden capturing the 2016 NASCAR Canada Series champion.

Lapcevich, 21, burst onto the scene in the NASCAR Canada Series in 2020, finishing second in his debut at Sunset Speedway. He went on to secure multiple victories and, in 2023, captured the series championship with seven wins —making the Lapcevich brothers the first siblings to both claim the series’ titles.

Expanding his career south of the border in 2025, Lapcevich debuted in the ARCA Menards Series, where he showcased his talent immediately. Driving for Nitro Motorsports at Berlin (Mich.) Raceway in Marne, Michigan, he claimed the pole position and led every lap en route to victory, marking his first ARCA win in only his second start.

Beyond his on-track accomplishments, Lapcevich is also a dedicated sim racer and the 2024 South Carolina 400 winner, continuing to sharpen his craft across Pro and Super Late Model competition.

With momentum and versatility, he stands as one of the next excellent Canadian prospects rising through the NASCAR ranks.

● All Board: For the 20th of 25 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series races this season, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship will serve as the primary marketing for Thursday night’s 250-lap race.

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is the first promotion allowed to hold a legal, sanctioned, and regulated bare knuckle event in the United States since 1889.

Based in Philadelphia, and headed by president and former professional boxer David Feldman, BKFC is dedicated to preserving the historical legacy of bare knuckle fighting, while utilizing a specifically created rule set that emphasizes fighter safety.

BKFC holds all of its bouts in a revolutionary circular four-rope ring, designed to encourage fast-paced and exciting bouts.

The patented BKFC “Squared Circle” contains scratch lines, based on the Broughton Rules, which governed bare knuckle fighting in the 19th century, and which requires fighters to “Toe the Line”: start every round face to face, and just inches apart.

In BKFC, only those fighters who are established professionals in boxing, MMA, kickboxing, or Muay Thai are allowed to compete. The referees and judges are required to have extensive professional combat sports experience.

All fights are held under the auspices and control of an Athletic Commission. Unlike other fighting organizations and combat sports internationally, which claim to be “bare knuckle” but require wraps, tape, and gauze, BKFC is true to its word, as fighters are not allowed to wrap their hands to within one inch of the knuckle. This makes BKFC unquestionably the truest form of bare knuckle fighting.

BKFC is dedicated to not just creating the safest, most exciting, and highest-level bare-knuckle fighting organization in the world, it’s also leading the way for a new fully recognized professional combat sport. BKFC is truly the sport of the future, which fully respects its remarkable past.

After a weekend off, the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series returns to action under the lights at Bristol Motor Speedway, where Playoff contenders chase valuable points and every other team looks to play spoiler and seize the spotlight.

Alfredo is driving the No. 42 Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro for the entire 33-race schedule, which continues with this Saturday night’s Nu Way 200 Sauced by Blues Hog at World Wide (Ill.) Technology Raceway at Gateway.

The 2025 season will mark Alfredo’s fourth full-time Xfinity Series campaign, and he joins the Mooresville, N.C.-based team after spending the 2024 season with Our Motorsports.

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 résumé across 143 Xfinity Series starts.

● All-Aboard!: For the 27th of 33 Xfinity Series races this season, Young’s Motorsports welcomes back DUDE Wipes as the primary partner on the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro for the 300-lap race on Friday night.

DUDE Wipes is the flagship product of DUDE Products, a men’s hygiene company that was founded in 2012 by lifelong friends in Chicago.

The U.S.-based company introduced DUDE Wipes as the first flushable wipe for adults, marketed as a better hygiene solution to dry toilet paper.

The brand is available online and in 20,000 stores nationwide, including Walmart, Target and Amazon.

Bristol Motor Speedway marks the 14th race where DUDE Wipes has served as the anchor partner on the No. 42 Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet this season.

Anthony Alfredo Xfinity Series Bristol Motor Speedway Stats: Friday night’s Food City 300 will mark Alfredo’s sixth career start at the 0.533-mile speedway, dubbed the “Last Great Colosseum.”

Alfredo earned a track-best of sixth after starting 19th in the fall 2020 edition of the Food City 300 for Richard Childress Racing.

The Xfinity Series veteran driver will look to improve his overall Bristol Motor Speedway average finish of 14.0.

Additionally, Alfredo has one NASCAR Cup Series start on the concrete at Bristol with a best effort of 35th after starting 30th in the 2021 Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race driving for Front Row Motorsports.

Twenty-six races into the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season — and with the regular season now complete — Anthony Alfredo and the Young’s Motorsports No. 42 team know their Playoff fate is sealed.

While they won’t compete for a championship, they still have the chance to contend for victories and shake up the Playoff grid in the final stretch of the year.

This weekend, the series heads to Bristol Motor Speedway — “The Last Great Colosseum.” The high-banked, half-mile bullring is a fan-favorite known for its relentless intensity, where survival, patience and aggression collide under the lights.

For Alfredo and the No. 42 Chevrolet team, the mission is simple: go all out for the win.

A breakthrough victory at Bristol would serve as the ultimate payoff for the resilience they’ve shown all season, while also rewriting the Playoff storyline by denying a postseason contender an all-important win and momentum boost.

Friday night’s Food City 300 isn’t just another race — it’s the first battle in the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs, where contenders fight to advance and underdogs have every opportunity to steal the spotlight.

Then on Saturday night, the spotlight shifts to the NASCAR Cup Series, which returns to Bristol for the Bass Pro Shops Night Race.

As the third and final race in the Round of 16, it promises high drama under the lights as drivers fight to keep their championship hopes alive — ensuring a weekend packed with intensity, strategy and season-defining moments.

● Anthony Alfredo Xfinity Series Career Stats: Entering Bristol, Alfredo has 144 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.

Since 2020, he has earned one pole, five top-five, and 23 top-10 finishes and has an average finish of 20.2.

● World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway | Nu Way 200 Sauced by Blues Hog Race Recap: The NASCAR Xfinity Series journeyed to World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Ill., for its regular-season finale — a pivotal night contested within sight of the iconic Gateway Arch.

Debuting the Botticelli Foods colors for the first time this season, Anthony Alfredo and the No. 42 Young’s Motorsports team opened the weekend with an extended practice session, as the series returned to the 1.25-mile oval for the first time since 2010.

A solid outing in practice gave the team a boost of confidence heading into qualifying, where Alfredo improved on his practice pace to secure the 21st starting position.

From the drop of the green flag, Alfredo maintained a steady course inside the top-20 while wrestling with the grip level on his No. 42 Botticelli Foods Chevrolet.

Strategic adjustments from crew chief Andrew Abbott at the end of Stage 1 and Stage 2 improved the car’s handling for the closing run, giving Alfredo the ability to maneuver traffic in a race where passing proved notoriously difficult.

A late 12-lap dash to the finish allowed Alfredo to attack. Methodically working his way forward, he cracked the top-15 and crossed the line 13th after 160 laps.

The performance marked the team’s first top-15 finish since Pocono Raceway in June — a confidence-building effort to close out the regular season and carry momentum into the post-season stretch.

With the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs underway starting Friday night, Alfredo and the No. 42 Young’s Motorsports team find themselves on the outside looking in. Though they did not advance to the postseason field, their drive and determination remain unchanged.

Instead of chasing points and advancement, the team enters the Playoff stretch with a clear mission: contend for victories and play spoiler.

Every lap, every adjustment, and every finish still carries weight — not in pursuit of a championship, but in the chance to make a statement, disrupt the Playoff picture and deliver the breakthrough moment they’ve been chasing all year.

● Calling the Shots: Guiding Alfredo as crew chief of the No. 42 Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro is longtime crew chief Andrew Abbott. 

On Saturday afternoon, he will be crew chief in his 156th NASCAR Xfinity Series race. In his previous 155 races, he has four top-five and 14 top-10 finishes.  

The season’s 27th race will be his eighth tango at Bristol Motor Speedway as crew chief in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. 

Young's Motorsports' NASCAR Xfinity Series at Bristol Motor Speedway: This weekend will mark Young’s Motorsports’ third appearance in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at the legendary Bristol Motor Speedway.

Last September, rookie driver Leland Honeyman Jr. started in the 31st position and contended for a strong finish before a brief mechanical issue took them behind the wall. They then returned and finished the Xfinity Series race, earning a 31st-place position.

In the spring, Alfredo navigated from his 29th-place starting position in his No. 42 Dude Wipes Chevrolet and utilized his short track experience to maneuver through the chaotic and slugfest event to capture a 15th-place finish at the checkered flag, earning the team their best result in Western Tennessee.

In addition to their Xfinity effort, the Mooresville, N.C.-based organization has extensive experience at Bristol in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series, with 25 starts to date.

Since 2012, the Mooresville, N.C.-based Young’s Motorsports team has had an average Truck Series starting position of 24.8 and an average finish of 25.2 over a 13-year tenure.
