When Josh Berry and the No. 21 Ford Mustang team hit the track this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, they’ll be sporting a fresh look and a lot to race for this weekend in Texas.
The Würth Group, a global leader in assembly and fastening materials, will debut as the primary sponsor on Berry’s No. 21 Ford Mustang for Sunday’s race, which also carries the Würth name as the event’s title sponsor — the Würth 400 presented by LIQUI MOLY. Featuring a bold red, white and black design, the Würth machine will stand out as Berry takes on the 1.5-mile Texas oval.
“It’s always exciting to welcome a new partner to the team, andhaving Würth join us for the Würth 400 makes it even more special,” said Berry. “The car looks awesome – it’s a clean, aggressive design that really stands out. I’m looking forward to getting to Texas and hopefully putting together a strong run.”
The team heads to the Lone Star State looking to bounce back after a strong showing at Talladega Superspeedway slipped away late. With speed and execution continuing to show, the group is eager to reset and put together a complete weekend in Fort Worth.
Texas Motor Speedway’s unique configuration presents its own set of challenges, with each end of the track demanding a different approach — something Berry is well aware of heading into Sunday’s race.
“It’s definitely a unique layout. Each end of the track is so drastically different that part of the problem is it’s very hard to get your car really balanced on both ends,” said Berry, who has six total NASCAR national series starts at the track.
“Turn one is much slower with less banking, and getting off turn two is really important because it sets you up to carry all that momentum through three and four. To be good in one and two, you’ll have your hands full in three and four just with the speed. The sketchiness of it is going through three nearly wide-open. That makes it a handful.”
Sunday’s Würth 400 is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on FS1, PRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
