2024 Fantasy Outlook

After many seasons of competing in just the Craftsman Truck Series, Young's Motorsports is going Xfinity Series racing for the first time in 2024. After 12 seasons of competition and only two victories spread across 472 starts, the Young's team wasn't exactly world-beaters in the trucks. They'll tab youngster Honeyman to make their first foray into the Xfinity Series. The 18-year-old prospect driver made just eight starts last season in this division of NASCAR, spread between a couple different teams. Honeyman's best finish in those efforts was a 21st-place performance at the Charlotte ROVAL. Otherwise, he did a good bit of racing mid-pack or worse. This will be a season of learning for this new team and young driver, so very little in the way of expectations can be anticipated. Read Past Outlooks

Honeyman will make select starts for Alpha Prime in the Xfinity Series as well as some part-time action in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2023.

2023 Fantasy Outlook

Alpha Prime Racing is going to field three cars this season and this one will be their driver rotation team. Parsons will likely get the most starts with Karam getting a good dose of the road course action. Honeyman is a young talent and will only get a handful of select starts. The was a driver rotation team last season and only nabbed one Top-10 and four Top-15 finishes. Frank Kerr could be potentially returning to the crew chief position to head up things again. Due to the inconsistency behind the wheel, this will likely be the least-performing of the three Alpha Prime cars.
