Josh Berry Out at Wood Brothers After 2026

Josh Berry will not drive Wood Brothers Racing’s No. 21 in the NASCAR Cup Series beyond the 2026 season, the driver told reporters on a Ford Racing conference call June 10.

Berry is parting ways with the team at the end of 2026, his second year with the organization.

He currently sits 30th in points with two top 10s to his name on the season.
