About competing full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series Alfredo wrote on his website, "I am experiencing a tremendous amount of emotions and I’m sure it still hasn’t fully set in yet. All I can say is thank you to Front Row Motorsports and our partners for believing in me, along with all of my fans for sticking by my side throughout this off-season. I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to continue pursuing a career in my passion, now in the premier series of our sport, and be surrounded by incredible people."
Anthony's mission statement:
I would like to take advantage of any opportunity God provides for me to advance as far as I can in NASCAR racing, and along with winning races and championships, I hope to use my racing platform to do good for others. I also hope to be a role model for younger kids and inspire them to work hard to achieve their own dreams.
