Wood Brothers Racing unveil it’s landmark achievement since inception following Josh Berry’s thrilling Las Vegas win

In their 75th season in NASCAR, Wood Brothers Racing(WBR) shared a tweet about their turn of luck since Josh Berry's maiden Cup victory on Sunday. NASCAR's oldest active team WBR, took a jab at recent talks about their historical lack of standout performances, by revealing a remarkable stat about Berry's 1st win die-cast sales, meeting their production minimum.

On Sunday, March 16, WBR's Josh Berry won the Penzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, marking the team's first non-superspeedway victory since 2017, when Ryan Blaney won at Pocono. Celebrating the victory, WBR added "SIGNED Berry 1st win Diecast" to their store, and took to social media to announce their unprecedented sales.

Commenting on the milestone, the post was captioned :

"By the way, since we're all about sunbathing in wood bros historical performance drought stats lately, here's another stat: @joshberry's 1st win diecast just made production minimum on our end alone. So here goes: With Josh Berry’s win Sunday, the Wood Brothers haven’t sold this many different diecasts to start a season since ever"

Interestingly, the team has upped the ante by managing to capture the winning car's scuffs and markings on the diecast. This is in addition to their "First win Tee", a special edition t-shirt that's also been released by the team. Berry heads into the next race at Homestead Miami Speedway, ranked 13th in the standings with 119 points.

"You just even think back to me when I was a kid with diecast cars, playing in the floor of my living room watching races you know. I've been so fortunate to have the success i've had in racing and get to know all of these guys that i've had so much of respect growing up that to be able to race in the cup series is such a privilege but to become a winner, it 's pretty amazing feeling."
