Anthony Alfredo Faces Tough Night at Bristol, Eyes Rebound at Kansas
BRISTOL, TENN. (April 12, 2026) — Anthony Alfredo endured a challenging night at Bristol Motor Speedway, with handling issues and late-race trouble resulting in a 36th-place finish in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series event.
Driving the No. 96 Ohio Logistics Chevrolet for Viking Motorsports, Alfredo qualified 18th and showed early signs of progress, working his way forward to 14th by the end of Stage One.
However, as the race wore on, the balance of the car began to fade. Alfredo slipped back to 25th in Stage Two, battling a handling condition that prevented the team from maintaining its early momentum on the tight, high-banked half-mile.
Late in the race, the night went from difficult to disappointing.
Alfredo was caught up in a crash in the closing laps, sustaining heavy damage that ended any chance of recovery and dropped the No. 96 further down the finishing order.
“We’ve had great pace this season, but for the first time we missed the balance and couldn’t get it right throughout the race,” Alfredo said. “Unfortunately, I got caught up in a crash at the very end, which made a bad day go worse. We’re ready to rebuild and come back stronger at Kansas.”
Despite the final result, the early portion of the race showed the team’s ability to move forward through the field — something they’ll look to build on heading into the next event.

Alfredo and the No. 96 team will look to rebound at Kansas Speedway for the Kansas Lottery 300, aiming to return to form.
