A ninth-place finish generally does not garner many headlines – or airtime.
Even when the (barely) top-10 finish garnered $100,000, as it did for NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Anthony Alfredo secured the Dash 4 Cash bonus at Dover Motor Speedway on April 27.
When Alfredo, driving for small-garage Our Motorsports, captured the prize money, he was interviewed by a Fox Sports reporter. But it was never broadcast, much to Alfredo’s dismay.
Fox Sports eventually posted the interview on X (Twitter), but Alfredo made his subtle point. Coverage for small and big teams should have a better balance with the Xfinity Series scheduled to return Saturday for the Crown Royal Purple Bag Project 200 at Darlington Raceway after a one-week hiatus.
I’m hearing not. That’s very disappointing. This is a huge accomplishment for our team and sponsors, yet we didn’t get the exposure for it. https://t.co/ASmfqNJsN0
