Josh Berry addresses the road ahead as a costly streak of bad luck stifled Ford Mustang’s full potential

After winning the Las Vegas Motor Speedway race, Wood Brothers Racing driver Josh Berry has been struggling to utilize his #21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Mustang Dark Horse to its full potential. Berry was recently featured in a media day ahead of the Bristol Motor Speedway event and set the tone for the race.

For the past two races at Martinsville Speedway and Darlington Raceway, the Cup Series driver struggled to finish among the top 20 drivers on the grid. During the Martinsville Speedway, Berry led 40 laps, but before he could maintain his lead and cross the finish line, he faced an electrical issue, knocking him out of the competition.

Then, during the Darlington Speedway, Josh Berry moved up multiple places, from 24th to fifth, only to get involved in a crash and end his day in P36. Now the team is headed to Bristol Motor Speedway, where the #21 driver qualified 2nd during the first race last year and finished in P12.

Reflecting on his previous performance, the Wood Brothers Racing driver stated:

"I'm definitely looking forward to getting to Bristol. It's its own beast and is unique in how it races compared to other short tracks. Last week didn't go the way we wanted, but this group always shows up ready to bounce back, and I feel good about where we are heading into the weekend. If we can qualify strong and stay clean on pit road, I know we're capable of putting together a solid day." (via SpeedwayDigest.com)

Practice session for the 266.5-mile, 500-lap race event at Bristol Motor Speedway is scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2025, at 2 PM ET. Amazon Prime will broadcast the event, and FS1 will cover the main event, the Food City 500, on Sunday, April 13, 2025.
