Anthony Alfredo will run select races with Beard Motorsports
The No. 62 Beard Motorsports car is set to run four races in 2024. Anthony Alfredo has been announced to pilot the car in the Daytona 500 as well as the April race at Talladega Superspeedway.
Alfredo has previously raced for Live Fast Motorsports and Our Motorsports in the NASCAR Cup Series. This marks his first start with Beard.
The team was founded by Mark Beard Sr who passed away in 2021. Since his passing, his wife Linda Beard has led the team while their children, Amie and Mark Jr have also taken roles within the company.

“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.”
“We are so excited to be back on track for 2024,” Beard added.
“Our crew chief Darren Shaw and the majority our crew guys and pit crew are all back for this season. Darren has been busy getting the car ready, and preparations for the Daytona 500 are well underway. Our schedule will go beyond the Daytona 500 and we have some exciting things in the works that we look forward to sharing a little later.”
She concluded, “Overall, though, we are just looking forward to getting back to the track and doing what we do best – competing while having fun.”
Anthony Alfredo comments
“I’m so thankful for this opportunity,” said Alfredo.
“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.”
Alfredo concluded, “They have always fielded great cars in these superspeedway races, so I’m thrilled to get behind the wheel of their No. 62 Chevrolet.”
In 38 NASCAR Cup Series starts, Alfredo has collected one top-10 finish.
