Furniture Row Motorsports welcomes Anthony Alfredo. He will drive the No. 38 Ford Mustang, replacing John Hunter Nemechek as he went back to the Truck Series. Alfredo competed in nineteen races in his first year in the Xfinity Series for Richard Childress Racing. He finished the 2020 season with two top-five and nine top-ten finishes.
Alfredo’s statement on joining the team said, “This is really an unbelievable moment. When you start out racing karts as a kid, you dream of making it to the sport’s top level. I want to thank Bob Jenkins and everyone at Front Row Motorsports for making this dream a reality. I know the challenges ahead, but I’m here to work hard and prove myself.”
