ABOUTJOSH

Josh Berry enters his second season with Wood Brothers Racing in 2026, continuing his role as the driver of the legendary No. 21 Ford Mustang Dark Horse in the NASCAR Cup Series. The Hendersonville, Tennessee, native delivered an impressive debut year with the team in 2025, highlighted by his first career Cup Series victory at Las Vegas Motor Speedway – achieved in only his fifth start with the No. 21 team. Berry’s win added to the storied history of NASCAR’s oldest active race team and marked an early milestone in his tenure with Wood Brothers Racing.

Berry’s path to the Cup Series began at age eight when he climbed into his first go-kart. Success in Legend Cars on local short tracks soon followed and later transitioned into virtual racing, where his talent caught the attention of Dale Earnhardt Jr. That connection led to a career-shaping opportunity with JR Motorsports. Berry flourished in Late Model competition, earning the 2017 CARS Tour championship, the 2019 Valley Star Credit Union 300 victory at Martinsville Speedway, and the 2020 NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series national title.

Berry moved into the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series with JR Motorsports and quickly made his mark, scoring his first series win in 2021 in just his 13th career start. He went on to add four more victories and established himself as a perennial contender before graduating to the NASCAR Cup Series with Stewart-Haas Racing in 2024. After one season in the No. 4 car, Berry joined Wood Brothers Racing for 2025 and is now focused on elevating the No. 21 team in his sophomore campaign in NASCAR’s premier series.

Away from the racetrack, Berry lives in Davidson, North Carolina, with his wife, Ginny, and their daughters, Mackenzie and Charlotte.
