Josh Berry Might Be Let Down by Penske's Slow Cars This Weekend
Although Josh Berry was eliminated from the opening round of the NASCAR playoffs, he rebounded last week with his best career race at Loudon. Berry is typically very fast at intermediate tracks and he'll likely be undervalued because of his shaky finishing record here, particularly his opening lap crash in last year's race, but in last year's race he drove from 38th to 6th for a dying Stewart-Haas Racing team, so he has some value. What might hold him back is Penske's inexplicable lack of speed this weekend. Although Berry himself qualified 13th in the Wood Brothers satellite entry, the three official Penske cars all qualified 26th or worse and the team will likely be more focused on getting good finishes for Joey Logano and Austin Cindric so they can advance in the playoffs instead of Berry who's already advanced. Penske's questionable speed is probably the main reason to stay away.
