Josh Berry triumphs at Las Vegas for first career NASCAR Cup Series win
Josh Berry has his first career NASCAR Cup Series win.
The Hendersonville, Tennessee native won Sunday's Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, passing Daniel Suarez in the final laps to get the win in his 53rd career start.
Berry, 34, is in his first season with Wood Brothers Racing after running his rookie Cup season with now-defunct Stewart-Haas Racing. Previously Berry had driven part time for Spire Motorsports (2021), Hendrick Motorsports (2022) and Legacy Motor Club (2022).
"Vegas has been so good to me," Berry said to FOX Sports pit reporter Jamie Little after the win. "I've had so many great moments here. Just struggled in the NextGen car. This whole 21 team, everybody at Wood Brothers Racing, they gave me a great car today."

Berry added the relationship he's had with Team Penske since making the switch from Stewart-Haas Racing to Wood Brothers Racing has been massive for him. Wood Brothers Racing is a sister team to Team Penske.
"They welcomed me with open arms and tried to help me accelerate the learning process as much as I can," Berry said.
