Josh Berry to Drive No. 21 for WBR in 2025

Josh Berry is set to drive the No. 21 Ford Mustang for Wood Brothers Racing (WBR) in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, replacing Harrison Burton. This move comes as Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) announces its closure at the end of the 2024 season, leaving its drivers, including Berry, to seek new opportunities. Initially, WBR sought to sign Chase Briscoe, Berry's SHR teammate, but he secured a ride with Joe Gibbs Racing to replace a retiring Martin Truex Jr. Berry, currently in his rookie Cup season with SHR, has shown promise with several top-10 finishes despite the team's impending shutdown. Harrison Burton, who has struggled in his tenure with WBR, now faces uncertainty regarding his future in NASCAR, with potential opportunities at Haas Factory Racing, AM Racing, or a return to the Xfinity Series. This transition marks a significant change for both Berry and WBR as they aim to remain competitive in the evolving NASCAR landscape.
