Cornerstone Building Brands to Feature Hypersteel™ Cold-Form Buildings and Support Anthony Alfredo and Young's Motorsports at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway
MOORESVILLE, N.C. & CARY, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Young's Motorsports proudly announced today that Cornerstone Building Brands will support the team's NASCAR Xfinity Series program and driver Anthony Alfredo in the May 24 BetMGM 300 at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway, featuring Hypersteel™ cold-formed buildings. 'Having Cornerstone Building Brands feature Hypersteel™ cold-form buildings this weekend gives us even more motivation to keep pushing forward. I'm confident we can put together another strong run at Charlotte.' The 13th race of the NASCAR Xfinity Series season presents an opportunity for the Hypersteel™ brand to join the team's mission of securing a fourth consecutive top-15 finish — a stretch highlighted by a season-best sixth-place run at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway last month. Hypersteel™ cold-formed buildings are engineered for speed, offering the hyper-fast design and production turnaround that sets them apart from traditional pre-engineered metal buildings. They deliver all the benefits of steel while minimizing time, complexity and installation effort. With a streamlined design and build process, Hypersteel™ structures are easier to install than rigid frame buildings of similar design, often without the need for large crews, heavy equipment, or specialized labor. 'Showcasing Hypersteel cold-formed buildings on the No. 42 Young's Motorsports Chevrolet helps us share an exciting story about how contractors and consumers alike can get customized metal buildings faster and easier,' says Heather Hollis, vice president of marketing at Cornerstone Building Brands. 'Our partnership with Anthony Alfredo and the team symbolizes the speed and efficiency of Hypersteel buildings and the hyper-fast process of designing and erecting a metal building." Alfredo, 26, is equally excited to welcome the Hypersteel™ brand as the fifth different partner to support the team's 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series campaign. 'I'm really excited to welcome Cornerstone Building Brands and the Hypersteel™ brand to our team this weekend,' said Alfredo. 'Just like their buildings, our team is all about speed and efficiency — and that mindset has helped us build some strong momentum lately. 'We're looking to keep that going at Charlotte and give the Hypersteel™ brand a great first race with us.' Saturday's race at Charlotte Motor Speedway will mark Alfredo's fourth career NASCAR Xfinity Series start at the iconic 1.5-mile oval. He returns to 'America's Home for Racing' on the strength of a track-best 16th-place finish, earned last May after starting 17th. As one of the Xfinity Series' most reinvigorated teams in recent weeks, Alfredo believes the group can continue its fast-way-forward approach, especially while proudly carrying the Hypersteel™ brand colors this weekend. 'The progress we've made as a team lately has been really encouraging,' said Alfredo. 'Everyone's been working hard, and we're starting to see the results on the track. 'Having Cornerstone Building Brands feature Hypersteel™ cold-form buildings this weekend gives us even more motivation to keep pushing forward. I'm confident we can put together another strong run at Charlotte.'

'It doesn't matter': Voss to draw on message from Ange
Carlton coach Michael Voss couldn't help but smile when he saw Ange Postecoglou's name pop up on his phone. He hadn't expected the trailblazing Tottenham Hotspur manager, and big Carlton fan, to get back to his message of congratulations for his Europa League triumph. After all, Postecoglou is the biggest deal in Australian sport right now, following his trailblazing Europa League final win over Manchester United. "I wasn't expecting a reply, but such is the man, he replied," Voss said on Thursday. "Short and succinct and the last message was 'always watching', which was a nice little message at the end." Postecoglou has long-standing links to Carlton, including being a part of the selection panel that chose Brendon Bolton as coach in 2015. Voss spent time at Spurs over the off-season working with Postecoglou as part of a personal development trip and on Thursday morning relished his "special" triumph. "He's very forthright in his views, and I think some people have called him stubborn at times," he said. "But I just see a coach that really believes in what he thinks is the right way to do it, and he's proven that over time. "I will just say that probably the message is not so much what he told me, but what I get out of it was, it's about persistence and modelling the right things and you gotta believe, keep getting after it. "It really doesn't matter what other people say. It's more about what we think and what we believe." Voss hopes to draw on some of the adversity and pressure Postecoglou has overcome. "Watching another coach go about their business and how they're able to do that, it probably does put into context the enormity of the job," he said ahead of Saturday's clash with GWS at Marvel Stadium. "And the level of persistence it takes to be able to obviously experience the ultimate. "If anything, you walk away, you're almost doubling down on the things you think are right. And that holds you in good stead. "Maybe there's a little bit of lessons in that for us right now." The Blues will regain Tom De Koning as they attempt to overcome recent inconsistency against injury-hit GWS. Voss was prepared for Giants skipper Toby Greene, in his 250th game, to set the tone, while he went in to bat for skipper Patrick Cripps, who has come under some criticism. "You get stuck a little bit between the criticism of we're a one man band, and then as soon as a few others start joining him, it's he's not doing good enough," Voss said. "So I'll take the share load version. "I'll take the leader who's willing to step back for others to step up and I think we'll be ultimately a better club because of it." There is no timeline on Elijah Hollands' return from leave for personal reasons. The Blues will honour late club great Robert Walls with a one-minute round of applause at 12.42pm, seven minutes into the first quarter on Saturday - representing his 12 years at Carlton in the No.42 guernsey.

What drivers said after the All-Star Race, All-Star Open at North Wilkesboro Speedway
NOTE: This post will be updated after the conclusion of the All-Star Race, which will begin after 8 p.m. at North Wilkesboro Speedway. ALL-STAR OPEN Carson Hocevar — Winner: 'Yeah, super big for this group, this team. It's great to win, especially being challenged by tires there. I had my hands full. We definitely have to go to work here on our race car because I didn't really like it, but it's a good sign that we didn't like it and we were still pretty quick there. Hopefully we can take advantage of it. I've seen Kasey Kahne win and Dale and others win from the Open and stuff. Maybe we can take that advantage of having this notebook and move forward early and be able to take this Chevy up front.' John Hunter Nemechek — Second: 'We have a shot to go win a million dollars. Hats off to this No. 42 team. We unloaded and we had good two- or three-lap speed, but no longer on pace. Proud of them for the effort they put in yesterday and what they were able to find, and pitting there at that last deal, I knew I couldn't win from where I was at. We came and got two (tires) and that helped us out. Hats off to the whole 42 team. Proud of the effort.' Ryan Preece — 11th after restart box violation: 'It's really nonexistent from inside the car. You can't see it. So I just hooked a hard left going acoss the line, figuring it's in that area. I'm frustrated because if you have a situation like that, put a cone out there so we can see it. Our Ford Mustang was super fast, could run in the way top, get around guys and I think we were the only one that was making some waves. Frusrated, man. We were in position here. Heartbreaking to have a heartbreaking run like that taken away by someone in the (NASCAR scoring) tower.' Shane van Gisbergen — 13th after leading 54 laps from the pole position: 'I don't know whether to smile or cry. It's been a dismal year for us. But I feel like we're getting better every week. This shows it. It was awesome to lead some laps. I was out front driving like a grandma and felt like it was easy. But I still felt like the tires were going to off. We took four. Once I was back there, no grip, and I put myself in some bad spots, too. It was awesome to lead laps. We're getting better.' Noah Gragson — 17th and fan vote winner: 'The fans are the GOATs. It's awesome to be part of this All-Star Race. Thank God for that Open Race, because I feel like we got the balance fixed. ... It means a lot. I'm very grateful to have all of the support from the fans and I feel like we've got a pretty good race car. It's such a cool atmosphere here and such a cool experience. I'm very lucky to be able to be a part of it.'

Jackie Robinson Day 2025: Why MLB players wear the No. 42 once a year in honor of Dodgers legend
Jackie Robinson Day 2025: Why MLB players wear the No. 42 once a year in honor of Dodgers legend Every April 15, MLB pays homage to one of its most important players with Jackie Robinson Day in honor of the Los Angeles Dodgers legend. Players, managers and coaches on all 30 MLB teams will wear the Dodger blue No. 42 on the backs of their uniforms Tuesday. Players, managers, coaches and umpires will also wear hats featuring a No. 42 patch as a tribute to Robinson. Robinson was the first Black player in MLB after breaking the color barrier in 1947. He endured racial abuse and antagonism from fans, players and opposing managers on and off the field. Even so, he excelled on the field, winning the Rookie of the Year award in his first season in the majors. Robinson then continued to play at a high rate, earning six All-Star appearances and winning an NL MVP award. He was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 1962. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement Robinson opened the door for other Black players to join MLB. Given his contributions to the game — both on and off the field — Robinson's No. 42 is retired across all 30 teams. This embedded content is not available in your region. One day a year, MLB relaxes that rule to celebrate Robinson. Here's everything you need to know about Jackie Robinson Day. Why is April 15 Jackie Robinson Day? MLB chose to celebrate Jackie Robinson Day on April 15 to mark the anniversary of his first game with the Dodgers. Robinson officially broke the color barrier in his first MLB game on April 15, 1947. On that date, Robinson started at first base and batted second in a 5-3 win over the Boston Braves. He went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice bunt. Why do players wear No. 42 on Jackie Robinson Day? Robinson donned the No. 42 as a player, so players wear that number on Jackie Robinson Day as a tribute to the Dodgers legend. His number was retired across the league in 1997. At the time, any player currently wearing No. 42 was allowed to continue wearing the number until their playing career concluded, but no new players would be allowed to wear No. 42. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement The last MLB player to wear the No. 42 for an entire season was New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, who wore the number through the 2013 MLB season. When did Jackie Robinson Day start? In 2004, the league established Jackie Robinson Day as a celebration of the player who broke MLB's color barrier. Festivities were held at 13 ballparks to celebrate Jackie Robinson Day in 2004. The following season, when then-commissioner Bud Selig announced the league would celebrate Jackie Robinson Day every season, all 30 teams took part in the celebration. Players didn't start wearing the No. 42 on April 15 in honor of Robinson until 2007. Hall of Fame outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. asked Selig if he could wear the number on April 15 in honor of Robinson. Selig granted Griffey's request and then encouraged others across the league to also wear the number. The number of players to wear No. 42 on April 15 grew over the years, leading to the league's decision in 2009 that all players, managers and coaches would wear No. 42 on April 15 in tribute to Robinson. In 2022, the league announced that all uniforms would feature a Dodger blue No. 42, regardless of a team's normal colors.
