Alfredo Shows Determination Despite Adversity at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
LAS VEGAS, NV (March 2026) — Anthony Alfredo and the Viking Motorsports team showed perseverance throughout a challenging race weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, battling multiple mechanical setbacks while continuing to push forward in the NASCAR Xfinity Series event.
Driving the No. 96 Dude Wipes Chevrolet, Alfredo faced adversity early in the race when a power steering issue created a difficult handling situation on the fast 1.5-mile oval. Despite the setback, Alfredo stayed focused behind the wheel and worked with his team to keep the car competitive during the long green-flag runs.
As the race unfolded, the team also found themselves down a set of tires compared to many competitors, forcing Alfredo to manage grip and strategy while fighting to maintain track position against a stacked field of drivers.
Just as the team began to recover from the earlier challenges, the No. 96 team encountered an electrical issue later in the event, creating yet another hurdle for Alfredo and the Viking Motorsports crew.
Despite the setbacks, Alfredo remained positive about the effort and determination shown by the team throughout the race.
“We recovered from power steering issues and being down a set of tires only to be faced with an electrical problem,” Alfredo shared after the race. “I’m thankful to have a team that never gives up when faced with adversity. We will keep pushing.”
While the final result didn’t reflect the speed and determination of the team, the effort demonstrated the resilience that Viking Motorsports continues to bring to the NASCAR Xfinity Series throughout the 2026 season.
Alfredo and the No. 96 Dude Wipes Chevrolet team now look ahead to the next race on the schedule, determined to build on the positives and turn the team’s hard work into stronger results.
