Late model champion will drive No. 5 at Homestead
Josh Berry has picked up his second NASCAR Nationwide Series race for JR Motorsports, team co-owner Kelley Earnhardt Miller announced Wednesday on her podcast.
On "Fast Lane Family," a radio show Earnhardt Miller hosts as part of Dirty Mo Radio, she announced that Berry would drive the No. 5 Ragu Chevrolet in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
"We have worked really hard (for that sponsorship), and we're still working. We'd love to put Josh in more races," Earnhardt Miller said.
Berry, who won the track championship at Hickory Motor Speedway this year driving a late model for JRM, finished 12th in his Nationwide Series debut at Iowa Speedway in August.
"It's so exciting for me and I'm very thankful that Ragu came on board and everyone at JRM worked as hard as they did," Berry said on the radio show. "It's so cool to see happen."
The No. 5 vehicle has been split among Berry, Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne and Austin Theriault this season.
The team's two full-time drivers, Chase Elliott and Regan Smith, are currently first and second in the points standings. That's not lost on Berry.
"I have a pretty good feeling it's going to be a real exciting weekend for all of JR Motorsports that weekend," he said.
