Biography

Josh Berry is one of NASCAR's great late-bloomer stories, a short track ace from Hendersonville, Tennessee, who did not get a full-time Cup opportunity until his 30s. Berry spent years dominating late model racing as a member of Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s JR Motorsports team, winning Xfinity races and proving he belonged at the national level. His promotion to the Cup Series with Wood Brothers Racing - NASCAR's oldest continuously operating team - is a fitting match of old-school talent and historic organization.

Berry's late model credentials are impressive, with multiple wins at prestigious events. His Xfinity success with JR Motorsports, including wins at short tracks that showcased his natural ability, made him a fan favorite. His move to the iconic No. 21 Ford carries the legacy of drivers like David Pearson and carries expectations from one of the sport's most storied organizations.
