While the schedule provided some important lineup details, it did not answer one question. There was no information provided about the most recent addition to the 2023 lineup.
Alpha Prime Racing announced on December 23 that Stefan Parsons will make more starts for the team after 12 in 2022. He will be back for some select Xfinity Series in either the No. 43 or No. 45 Chevrolet Camaro.

“It’s a huge boost to our program to keep a driver like Stefan in the building,” said APR Vice President David Schildhouse. “His talent brought some incredible results to our team in 2022 and he believes in what we are building here at APR. We look at Stefan as a core piece of our upwards growth trajectory and bringing him back to our roster was a top priority this offseason.”
