Given that his current contract is about to expire, NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin has given an update on his Cup Series future.
Ahead of this weekend’s NASCAR action at Nashville, a Cup Series driver was disqualified from a Late Model race.
However, after Berry and his team had celebrated their win, it emerged that the No. 21 car had failed post-race tech, meaning Berry had been disqualified.
“During post race tech, the Josh Berry No. 21 was found to not be within the allowances of left side weight percentage,” a statement from the event hosts read, via Racing America.
“Therefore, Trey Craig has claimed the event for a second straight season.“
Can Josh Berry bounce back in NASCAR?
Berry’s disqualification will have come as a huge disappointment for the Cup Series driver, particularly given he is local to the area, having been born in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
However, the driver of the No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing Ford has an almost instant opportunity to bounce back, with the Cup Series in action at Nashville Superspeedway on Sunday.
So far this season, results have been mixed for the 34-year-old, with the highlight undoubtedly being his victory at Las Vegas Motor Speedway back in March.
Berry’s running towards the front of the order is not an anomaly, though, as he has also finished P4 and P6 at Phoenix and Kansas in addition to Vegas.
It will be intriguing to see Berry’s performance this weekend and whether or not the aforementioned disqualification strengthens his resolve to win after he finished P12 at the Coca-Cola 600 last Sunday.
