There’s a lot of aero stuff that comes into play at Dover because you’re going so fast. You see different lines come into play as the rubber builds up. It’s always fun on a long run when you can run way up by the fence and find speed. Of course, there’s a bit of an unknown heading into the race with no practice or qualifying. I’m looking forward to it.” How hard is that when you pick up rubber during the cautions?“Yeah, it’s just a process that we go through every week that we have to try and balance our car around. It can get difficult at times, but Dover is a place where it’s fun.”

How does that shape your goals for the weekend?“We’re entering this weekend with our No. 8 Cat App Chevrolet with the goal of making up as many points as possible. With just three races left, we need to maximize everything we can. Dover is a tricky place to race, but I do have some success there to lean on. It was the site of my second win in the NASCAR Truck Series, so entering the weekend with that bit of confidence helps. Doubleheader weekends have been tough for us this year, but I know my team is doing everything they can to have us in a really solid spot when we roll off on Saturday and then build on that for Sunday’s race.”

Alfredo will hope to go from sim to reality this weekend, as the NASCAR Xfinity Series participate in a double-header weekend at the ‘Monster Mile.’ ANTHONY ALFREDO QUOTES: You were able to score a win at Dover International Speedway during the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Saturday Night Thunder Series. Despite that being a virtual win, does that give you any added confidence coming into a double-header this weekend? “Even though my eNASCAR win was virtual, it definitely still gives me confidence heading to the track in real life for a double-header because iRacing is very realistic, not to mention, I was competing against many of the same drivers I will be against this weekend in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. I’m really looking forward to taking on the ‘Monster Mile’ in our No. 21 ADS/ Footing First Chevrolet Camaro twice this weekend.”  What makes Dover such a difficult racetrack in your opinion? “Dover is a very difficult racetrack for multiple different reasons. The biggest challenge in my opinion is the overall speed of the track and how narrow the corner exits can get. When you come out of the banking, you are carrying so much speed and it is easy to accidentally make contact with the outside wall. It also is arguably one of the most physically demanding tracks on the circuit. With it being a doubleheader race, I will need to look at my personal notes from previous doubleheaders we have had to ensure I do all I can to prepare mentally and physically, which includes taking nutrition and hydration very seriously.”
