Josh Berry seeks new NASCAR contract amid strong performance

NASCAR driver Josh Berry is seeking a new contract for the 2027 season after it was confirmed he will be replaced at Wood Brothers Racing by Jesse Love. Despite the upcoming change, Berry has shown significant recent improvement in performance.

Berry has achieved four consecutive top-10 finishes, a feat the team has not seen since 1994. His recent results include a third-place finish at New Hampshire, a fourth-place finish at Iowa, and a seventh-place finish at the Brickyard 400. Crew chief Rodney Childers defended Berry’s performance, noting that the driver’s results have improved alongside the mechanical packages provided by Ford and Team Penske.

Berry has expressed that while he is working with increased intensity to demonstrate his value to team owners, he feels he has done everything possible to secure his future in the Cup Series.
