Dec. 31, 2025, 6:07 a.m. ET
Anthony Alfredo is moving to a new team for the 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Series season. After spending one year with Young’s Motorsports, Alfredo is moving to the No. 96 car for Viking Motorsports. The former Young’s Motorsports driver will be the second full-time entry for hte organization alongside Parker Retzlaff.
Alfrredo has been all over the place in NASCAR over the last six years, so another new team isn’t new to him. The driver of the No. 96 car is a part of a new second team for Viking Motorsports, so the 2026 NASCAR season might start slowly. However, Alfredo has proven his ability to run well in mid-tier equipment.
Alfredo should focus on developing the second team with Viking Motorsports and earning more top-20 finishes throughout the season. By the end of 2026, the hope is that Alfredo is competing for top-10 finishes. There is optimism that Alfredo can help turn Viking Motorsports into a more recognizable destination.
