● Welcome Back: The 2025 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series season stretch driver continues this weekend, with Young’s Motorsports proud to welcome back rookie Ben Maier to the team’s lineup to steer the team’s flagship No. 02 Chevrolet Silverado RST for Friday afternoon’s EcoSave 250 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL™.
The Truck Series returns from its penultimate off-weekend, which coincided with the Kansas Speedway fall event weekend, ready to fire up the stretch run of the season.
Friday’s race at the ROVAL™ kicks off the first of four events in the next five weeks, a sprint that will carry the 25-race tour to its season finale and Championship 4 event at Phoenix (Ariz.) Raceway on October 31, 2025.
● About Ben: Maier, a rising star in the Motorsports world, has spent years honing his skills in various racing series like Stadium Super Trucks with Robby Gordon, Trans Am, Cars Tour and Travis Pastrana’s NitroCross and now, with the support of Young’s Motorsports, he is ready to take on the competition in the highly competitive Truck Series for the second time in his young career.

● Ben Maier Truck Series Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL™ Stats: Friday afternoon’s EcoSave 250 will mark Ben Maier’s inaugural NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series track start at the iconic 2.28-mile ROVAL™.
The NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series shifts from the flat, tricky corners of New Hampshire Motor Speedway to uncharted territory this weekend, as the series makes its highly anticipated debut at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL™.
Friday afternoon’s event marks the inaugural NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series race on the 2.28-mile, 17-turn layout that combines the high banks of Charlotte’s oval with its demanding infield road course.
Precision and adaptability will be the name of the game.
Unlike New Hampshire’s rhythm of braking and throttle control on a flat oval, the ROVAL™ requires technical road-course craft, patience through tight sections and the ability to capitalize on restarts.
Teams that manage track position and strategy — including pit calls and potential fuel mileage gambles — are expected to have the upper hand.
Saturday’s showdown opens the Round of 8 in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series Playoffs, raising the stakes with just three races left to determine the Championship 4.
Every stage point will matter as contenders look to build momentum and secure a ticket to Phoenix, while non-Playoff entries such as Young’s Motorsports aim to play spoiler and steal the spotlight just outside the Queen City.
It’s also a triple-header weekend of NASCAR action at Charlotte.
Following Friday afternoon’s Truck Series debut, the NASCAR Xfinity Series will take center stage with the Blue Cross NC 250 — an elimination race in its own Playoff battle on Saturday, October 4.
The weekend culminates on Sunday with the Bank of America ROVAL™ 400 for the NASCAR Cup Series, serving as the Round of 12 cutoff race.
A victory at the ROVAL™ would be historic, etching the winner’s name as the first Truck Series driver and team to conquer the hybrid road course.
With 67 laps on tap, strategy and survival will collide in a high-pressure setting that promises drama at every corner.
● Ben Maier Truck Series Career Stats: Entering the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL™, Maier is set to make just the second NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series start of his career.

Maier ultimately delivered a respectable 18th-place finish in his inaugural outing, building confidence and experience that he now carries into his first appearance at the ROVAL™.
● Calling the Shots: Guiding Maier as crew chief of the No. 02 TOP LINER Chevrolet Silverado RST is veteran Jason Miller.
On Friday afternoon, Miller will make his 155th NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series start atop the pit box. In his previous 154 races, he has collected one win, eight top-five finishes and 28 top-10 efforts.
This weekend’s 22nd race of the season will mark Miller’s first Truck Series appearance as a crew chief at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL™. It also represents his 12th start in that leadership role this year.
While new to the ROVAL in the Truck Series, Miller does bring valuable road course experience from the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
He has called six races as crew chief at Charlotte’s ROVAL™, highlighted by an eighth-place finish during the 2020 rain-soaked Drive for the Cure 250 with road course specialist Jade Buford.
● Young’s Motorsports’ NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL™ Stats: This weekend will mark Young’s Motorsports’ first and second NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series track starts at the Concord, N.C.-based track.
While the team has not yet competed at the ROVAL™ in the Truck Series, the team did participate in last year’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race, delivering a 28th-place finish after starting 33rd with rookie driver Leland Honeyman Jr in the Drive for the Cure 250 Presented by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.
● Young’s Motorsports’ NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series History: Since entering the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series in 2012, the Mooresville, N.C., – based organization has logged 535 starts from 75 drivers, resulting in solid performances that include two victories (Talladega Superspeedway 2019 and 2021), seven top-five finishes and 33 top-10 finishes, with an average starting position of 23.4 and an average finishing position of 22.3.

● All-Aboard!: For the 29th of 33 Xfinity Series races this season, Young’s Motorsports welcomes back The Roth ID Tag™ as the primary marketing partner on the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro for the 67-lap race this weekend.

Alfredo earned a track-best of 12th after starting 18th in the 2022 edition of the Drive for the Cure 250 for Our Motorsports.
The Xfinity Series veteran driver will look to improve his overall ROVAL™ average finish of 193.
Additionally, Alfredo has one NASCAR Cup Series start at the ROVAL™ with a best effort of 26th after starting 20th in the 2021 Bank of America ROVAL™ 400, driving for Front Row Motorsports.
Twenty-eight races into the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season — and with the regular season now in the rearview mirror, Anthony Alfredo and the Young’s Motorsports No. 42 team still plan to make some noise in the Playoffs.
While they won’t compete for a championship, they still have the chance to contend for victories and shake up the Playoff grid in the final stretch of the year.
This weekend, the series heads to Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL™ for the Blue Cross NC 250, the 28th race of the season and the third and elimination stop in the opening round of the Xfinity Series Playoffs.
The unique 2.28-mile combined road course and oval layout is notorious for producing unpredictable racing, aggressive strategy calls and dramatic late-race moments that often decide who advances — and who sees their championship hopes end.
For Alfredo and the No. 42 Chevrolet team, the approach remains simple: go all out for a strong performance or perhaps contend for a win.
A breakthrough victory at the ROVAL™ would serve as the ultimate payoff for the resilience they’ve shown all season, while also rewriting the Playoff storyline by denying a postseason contender an all-important win and momentum boost.
Saturday afternoon’s race isn’t just another event — it’s a high-stakes Playoff showdown, where contenders fight to keep their title hopes alive and underdogs like Alfredo and Young’s Motorsports have every opportunity to steal the spotlight.
Then on Sunday, the spotlight shifts to the NASCAR Cup Series with the Bank of America ROVAL™ 400, the third and elimination race of the Round of 12.
With just one last chance to secure a ticket to the Round of 8, fans can expect high drama, bold moves, and season-defining moments on Charlotte’s treacherous infield road course and high-speed oval corners.
● Anthony Alfredo Xfinity Series Career Stats: Entering Charlotte, Alfredo has 146 NASCAR Xfinity Series races to his credit, earning a career-best third-place finish twice, most recently at Talladega Superspeedway after starting 11th in the 2024 edition of the Ag-Pro 300 for Our Motorsports.
Since 2020, he has earned one pole, five top-five, and 23 top-10 finishes and has an average finish of 20.2.
● Kansas Speedway | Kansas Lottery 300 Race Recap: The NASCAR Xfinity Series journeyed to Kansas Speedway for their solo stop in the Midwest, often referred to as “the land of Oz.”
After a respectable outing in the most recent Xfinity Series race in the Food City 300 at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, the Mooresville, N.C.-based team carried confidence into the weekend, hoping to deliver its second top-10 finish of the season.
Despite their best efforts, the team faced balance issues with their No. 42 Dude Wipes Chevrolet.
Even though Alfredo qualified a solid 22nd, he worked his way inside the top 20 throughout the race and appeared poised for another strong performance with Young’s Motorsports.
However, the team found itself trapped a lap down when the caution flag waved during a round of green-flag pit stops.
From there, despite their determination, Alfredo and the No. 42 team were unable to recover to the lead lap and ultimately settled for a frustrating 25th-place finish at the checkered flag.
With the arrival of the homestretch, Young’s Motorsports will lean on their experience and never-give-up attitude to propel them forward through the remainder of the season.
This closing stretch features a road course, an intermediate, a superspeedway and two short tracks to close out the year.
● Calling the Shots: Guiding Alfredo as crew chief of the No. 42 Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro is longtime crew chief Andrew Abbott.
On Saturday afternoon, he will be crew chief in his 158th NASCAR Xfinity Series race. In his previous 157 races, he has four top-five and 14 top-10 finishes.
The season’s 29th race will be his fifth tango at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL™ as crew chief in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
In his track debut, he led Jeremy Clements to an impressive 11th-place finish after starting eighth in 2019.
● Young’s Motorsports’ NASCAR Xfinity Series at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL™: This weekend will mark Young’s Motorsports’ second appearance in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at the Concord, N.C.-based race track.
Last October, rookie driver Leland Honeyman Jr. started in the 33rd position but was collected in a late-race accident that relegated the team to a 28th-place finish, seven laps short of the full distance in the Drive for the Cure 250 Presented by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.
On tracks featuring a road course layout, the family-owned organization has logged nine Xfinity Series starts, with an average result of 24.0.
● Young’s Motorsports’ NASCAR Xfinity Series History: Since entering the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2024, the family-owned organization has logged 61 starts and maintains an average starting position of 25.5 and an average finish of 23.8.
