Josh Berry Gives Wood Brothers Team Best Run Since 2021
Josh Berry had one of the best runs for a Wood Brothers driver in years in Sunday's Phoenix race. After starting fourth, Berry ran in the top five for almost the entire first stage but fell to 29th after a loose lug nut during the race's fourth caution. Luckily, he managed to evade the multi-car pileup on the ensuing restart, which elevated him to 19th. After working his way back up to 10th at the end of Stage 2, he eventually worked his way up to a fourth-place finish, exactly where he started. This made him the first No. 21 driver since Matt DiBenedetto in 2021 to score a driver rating over 100, start and finish in the top five in the same race, and earn a top-five finish on a non-drafting oval. If Berry can stop crashing so much, he might be a playoff contender.
