Beard Motorsports, the Cup Series team that fields the No. 62 NASCAR Chevy Camaro ZL1, recently announced its plans to race in four superspeedway races during the 2024 Cup Series season as per a recent report from Jayski.
The organization will make an attempt at the 66th running of the Daytona 500 on February 18th, 2024 with Anthony Alfredo behind the wheel. Alfredo will also race at Talladega on April 26th. Beard Motorsports will also field the No. 62 NASCAR Chevy at Daytona on August 24th and again at Talladega on October on 6th, although it’s not clear who the driver will be for these events.
“I’m so thankful for this opportunity,” Alfredo said in a statement. “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. They have always fielded great cars in these superspeedway races, so I’m thrilled to get behind the wheel of their No. 62 Chevrolet.”
The 2024 season will be the eighth for Beard Motorsports, which was founded by Mark Beard Sr. Since Beard’s death in 2021, the team has been under control of his wife, Linda Beard, along with children Amie and Mark Jr.
“We are so excited to be back on track for 2024,” said Amie. “Our crew chief Darren Shaw and the majority of 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 under way. 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. Overall, though, we are just looking forward to getting back to the track and doing what we do best – competing while having fun.”
Beard Motorsports intends to compete in several non-superspeedway races in 2024, which will be announced at a later date.
