Cornerstone Building Brands to Feature Hypersteel™ Cold-Form Buildings and Support Anthony Alfredo and Young’s Motorsports at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway
Young’s Motorsports proudly announced today that Cornerstone Building Brands will support the team’s NASCAR Xfinity Series program and driver Anthony Alfredo in the May 24 BetMGM 300 at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway, featuring Hypersteel™ cold-formed buildings.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250522650982/en/
The 13th race of the NASCAR Xfinity Series season presents an opportunity for the Hypersteel™ brand to join the team’s mission of securing a fourth consecutive top-15 finish — a stretch highlighted by a season-best sixth-place run at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway last month.
Hypersteel™ cold-formed buildings are engineered for speed, offering the hyper-fast design and production turnaround that sets them apart from traditional pre-engineered metal buildings. They deliver all the benefits of steel while minimizing time, complexity and installation effort.
With a streamlined design and build process, Hypersteel™ structures are easier to install than rigid frame buildings of similar design, often without the need for large crews, heavy equipment, or specialized labor.
“Showcasing Hypersteel cold-formed buildings on the No. 42 Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet helps us share an exciting story about how contractors and consumers alike can get customized metal buildings faster and easier,” says Heather Hollis, vice president of marketing at Cornerstone Building Brands.
“Our partnership with Anthony Alfredo and the team symbolizes the speed and efficiency of Hypersteel buildings and the hyper-fast process of designing and erecting a metal building.”
Alfredo, 26, is equally excited to welcome the Hypersteel™ brand as the fifth different partner to support the team’s 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series campaign.
“I’m really excited to welcome Cornerstone Building Brands and the Hypersteel™ brand to our team this weekend,” said Alfredo. “Just like their buildings, our team is all about speed and efficiency — and that mindset has helped us build some strong momentum lately.
“We’re looking to keep that going at Charlotte and give the Hypersteel™ brand a great first race with us.”
Saturday’s race at Charlotte Motor Speedway will mark Alfredo’s fourth career NASCAR Xfinity Series start at the iconic 1.5-mile oval. He returns to “America’s Home for Racing” on the strength of a track-best 16th-place finish, earned last May after starting 17th.
As one of the Xfinity Series’ most reinvigorated teams in recent weeks, Alfredo believes the group can continue its fast-way-forward approach, especially while proudly carrying the Hypersteel™ brand colors this weekend.
“The progress we’ve made as a team lately has been really encouraging,” said Alfredo. “Everyone’s been working hard, and we’re starting to see the results on the track.
“Having Cornerstone Building Brands feature Hypersteel™ cold-form buildings this weekend gives us even more motivation to keep pushing forward. I’m confident we can put together another strong run at Charlotte.”

A pair of 25-minute practices will take place on Saturday, May 24, 2025, from 11:05 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Qualifying will immediately follow at 12:10 p.m. The 38-car field will take the green flag shortly after 4:30 p.m., with live coverage on The CW Network, the Performance Racing Network (Radio) and SiriusXM NASCAR Channel 90.

Porsche Penske Motorsport used Sunday’s test day at the Circuit des 24 Heures to fine-tune its three factory 963 hybrid prototypes ahead of the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans. With temperatures just above 20 °C and light clouds, the team completed 194 laps—covering 2,643 km—across two three-hour sessions. Drivers reported a consistently balanced car after evaluating multiple setup options and testing new components.
“It was a very productive test day, during which we ticked off a full to-do list with all three cars,” said Urs Kuratle, director of factory racing LMDh. The team ran Michelin medium tyres throughout, anticipating warmer race-week conditions. “We wrapped up the day incident-free, and the drivers provided positive feedback,” added Jonathan Diuguid, managing director at Porsche Penske Motorsport.

Formula E world champion Pascal Wehrlein turned his first laps on the 13.626 km circuit in the No. 4 Porsche 963, while reserve driver Nico Müller prepared in the sister No. 5 car. Customer squad Proton Competition also logged 60 laps in its own Porsche 963. In the LMGT3 class, Manthey’s Iron Dames entry (#85) covered 872 km and the No. 90 and No. 92 911 GT3 R cars completed a combined 133 laps, using the unique mix of permanent track and public roads.
Driver feedback was uniformly positive. Felipe Nasr praised progress on brake and body-part testing, Mathieu Jaminet noted room for fine-tuning against a tight field, and Kévin Estre highlighted insights gained despite a late red-flag interruption. Manthey drivers Rahel Frey, Antares Au and Riccardo Pera all reported smooth, incident-free runs and a solid baseline for race preparations.
No on-track action is scheduled for Monday or Tuesday. Free practice and qualifying begin Wednesday, and the 24-hour race starts Saturday, 14 June at 4 pm CEST. Coverage in Germany will air on Nitro and Eurosport, with live streaming via the FIA WEC and ACO apps.

Determined Effort By Custer Ends Prematurely After Getting Collected in Michigan Crash – Speedway Digest
With the Xfinity Series off this weekend, Cole Custer carried the banner for the Haas Factory team during Cup Series racing at the 2-mile Michigan International Speedway.

With the Xfinity Series off this weekend, Cole Custer carried the banner for the Haas Factory team during Cup Series racing at the 2-mile Michigan International Speedway. Making his sixth Cup Series start at Michigan, Custer rolled off 24th on Sunday.
41 Cole Custer – Recap
Early in Stage One, Custer was faced with challenges, reporting that his No. 41 Ford was loose on entry and exit, with a hint of tightness in the center of the corners. The handling made it difficult to get back to the throttle quickly off the turns. Still, Custer and the team were undeterred. As Stage One ended the team worked to dial in the HaasTooling.com Ford. Adjustments, including a round of wedge, were made to help improve stability, and give Custer the ability to attack the turns.
As Stage Two began, Custer worked to overcome adversity, He found restarts especially challenging, due to a lack of grip while trying to re-enter the throttle zone. He described the car as being “out of the track” with minimal grip, though he noted the balance itself wasn’t far off – just lacking overall feel. Unfortunately, just as the team looked to regroup and regain track position, Custer was caught in a multi-car incident on lap 68. The crash ended Custer’s day early and brought a premature close to what had been a determined effort. Custer was officially credited with a 35th-place finish.
“I don’t exactly know what transpired to get us into that situation but it just seemed like we all just ran out of room,” said Custer. It’s really disappointing from the standpoint of we want to be on the up end of things with our team right now. We want to move in the right direction in the summer time. I like we are bringing better cars to the racetrack and getting more competitive but getting wrecked on days like this, definitely sets that back.”
