MARTINSVILLE, VA. (March 29, 2026) — Anthony Alfredo delivered a strong and consistent performance in Saturday’s O’Reilly Auto Parts 250 at Martinsville Speedway, earning valuable stage points before being collected in a late-race incident.
Driving the No. 96 Viking Motorsports Chevrolet sponsored by Dude Wipes, Alfredo qualified 15th and steadily worked his way forward in the early stages of the race.
He showcased strong pace and racecraft throughout the opening segment, finishing Stage 1 in 7th to earn valuable championship points. Alfredo continued to build on that momentum in Stage 2, crossing the line in 6th and solidifying one of his strongest runs of the season.
As the race intensified in the closing laps, Alfredo remained in contention for a top-10 finish on the tight half-mile oval. However, like many competitors, he was ultimately caught up in a late-race incident that shuffled the running order and impacted several frontrunners.
Despite the setback, Alfredo brought the No. 96 machine home in 15th, capping off a strong points day that highlighted the speed and progress of the Viking Motorsports team.
“Overall, it was a really solid day for our Dude Wipes Chevrolet,” said Alfredo. “We were able to score stage points in both stages and put ourselves in position for a good finish. It’s frustrating to get caught up late, but that’s Martinsville. I’m proud of the effort from everyone at Viking Motorsports—we’re continuing to make gains each week.”
Alfredo’s performance at Martinsville reinforces the team’s upward trajectory, as they continue to build consistency and compete with the front half of the field.
