Beard Motorsports will return for its eighth season of NASCAR Cup Series competition in 2024, and the team will be set to compete in four events in the upcoming season. Anthony Alfredo, who will compete full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series this season, will compete for the team in the season-opening Daytona 500 as well as the spring race at Talladega Superspeedway.
“The 2024 season marks our eighth year competing in the NASCAR Cup Series,” said Amie Beard, executive vice president of Beard Motorsports. “It’s surreal to even be referencing year number eight. This race team is a passion project for all of us. My dad loved the sport and it’s a passion that we now share as a family. It’s what drives this team.”
Alfredo, 24, is excited for his chance behind the wheel of the No. 62 machine.
“I’m so thankful for this opportunity,” said the native of Ridgefield, Connecticut. “Every driver that runs stock cars wants to race in the NASCAR Cup Series and the Daytona 500. I’ve been blessed to race at this level against drivers that are childhood heroes of mine. This opportunity with the Beard family is very exciting. They have always fielded great cars in these superspeedway races, so I’m thrilled to get behind the wheel of their No. 62 Chevrolet.”
Darren Shaw, who has served as the crew chief for Beard Motorsports since the team’s inception in 2017, will return as the crew chief again in 2024.
The Beard Motorsports team will attempt four races during the season. In addition to the Daytona 500 and spring event at Talladega event, the No. 62 team will also attempt the Summer event at Daytona International Speedway as well as the fall race at Talladega.
The driver for the final two races of the Beard Motorsports season has yet to be announced.
