JR Motorsports, owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr., has added 17-year-old Anthony Alfredo as a driver for its Late Model program in 2017.

A native of Ridgefield, Connecticut, Alfredo will drive the No. 8 Chevrolet in 20 Late Model races throughout the Southeast. He will be a teammate to Josh Berry, who will drive the No. 88.

“I am so grateful to have the opportunity to drive for JR Motorsports’ Late Model team this year,” Alfredo said in a press release. “I am very excited for the upcoming race season and look forward to furthering my progression as a driver with JRM. Being a teammate with Josh Berry is something that can help me improve a lot as I know I can learn so much from him.”

Alfredo was the 2016 champion in the Southeast Limited Late Model Series Pro Division with Lee Faulk Racing, where he won one race at Greenville Pickens Speedway and earned 15 top fives and 23 top 10s last year.

JR Motorsports is entering its 16th year of Late Model competition. The team has earned 40 victories during the last three seasons and two track championships since 2012.
