NASCAR Xfinity Series regular Anthony Alfredo is set to return to Beard Motorsports next month for his third NASCAR Cup Series attempt of the season, bringing along his long-time sponsorship partner in DUDE Wipes.
Alfredo will get behind the wheel of the pink-and-black No. 62 Chevrolet in the YellaWood 500, taking place on Sunday, October 19, at Talladega Superspeedway. The middle race in the semi-final round of the Playoffs will mark the final scheduled contest for Beard Motorsports, a part-time operation, in 2025.
“We love this partnership with Anthony and DUDE Wipes,” said Amie Beard-Deja, executive vice president of Beard Motorsports. “Racing is a passion project for us. We’ve said it many times, but we go to the racetrack with the intention of being competitive, running up front, and contending for wins. Our spring race at Talladega last year is a great example of the hard work, effort, and commitment we devote to being contenders.”
A favorite across the NASCAR community, DUDE Wipes is an extra-large, flushable wipe developed specifically for adults as an alternative to dry toilet paper. The Chicago-based brand will use the YellaWood 500 to feature their newest product line, Lil’ DUDE Wipes, designed to tackle tiny cheeks and huge messes.
“We are thrilled for the opportunity to partner again with Beard Motorsports and Anthony Alfredo,” said Ryan Meegan, co-founder of DUDE Wipes. “Anthony has been part of the DUDE Wipes family for a few years now and he is a big fan of our products and has been a tremendous ambassador for the brand. Being able to partner with Beard Motorsports’ NASCAR Cup Series program at Talladega is a great opportunity for DUDE Wipes, in particular, to be able to show off our new potty training wipe, Lil’ DUDE Wipes, which are exclusively available at Walmart.”
Alfredo considers DUDE Wipes to be a founding partner in his racing career, as the brand has been partnered with the Ridgefield, Connecticut-native since he made his move to the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2020.
“I’m pumped to be driving the No. 62 DUDE Wipes Chevrolet at Talladega again,” Alfredo said. “DUDE Wipes has been so important to me and my career, and just all around a great group of people to work with during the last several years. I can’t say enough about this opportunity to be back with DUDE Wipes, Beard Motorsports, and the Beard family at Talladega. I take a lot of pride driving the No. 62 Beard Chevrolet, and I’m honored to be trusted behind the wheel every time we go to a superspeedway. We had such a great run there in the spring, leading a lot of laps during the second stage and really showing what this team can do. We have a lot to build on and can’t wait to get to do it all again.”
While driving for Beard Motorsports at Talladega Superspeedway earlier this Spring, Alfredo paced the field for a total of 19 laps, but was trapped at the back of the pack for the finish, coming home in 28th.
The YellaWood 500 will take place on Sunday, October 19 at 2:00 pm ET on NBC, Motor Racing Network, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
