Fresh off his best finish of the season, Josh Berry and the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Mustang head to Las Vegas Motor Speedway with momentum on their side. Berry scored a fourth-place finish last weekend at Phoenix Raceway, a result that showcased the continued progress of the Wood Brothers Racing team early in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.
Las Vegas is a track where Berry has enjoyed past success, earning two Xfinity Series victories at the 1.5-mile oval. Now, in just his second full-time season at the Cup level, he looks to build on that experience and deliver another strong performance in the desert.
“Vegas has been a good track for me—I’ve won there twice in the Xfinity Series—so I’m looking forward to getting back there this weekend,” Berry said. “The mile-and-a-halfs with the Next Gen car are intense, and Vegas always puts on an exciting race, especially with how crazy the restarts can be.”
Berry and his crew have developed strong chemistry in recent weeks, and with the right execution, Las Vegas could provide another opportunity to showcase the strength of the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Mustang.
“The biggest thing for us is to qualify well, hopefully pick up some stage points, and keep our track position to stay up front,” Berry added. “If you can run in the top 10, you can give yourself a shot at it, as long as you execute on pit road and avoid mistakes. We feel pretty good about our preparation and everything heading into the weekend.”
The action kicks off on Saturday with practice and qualifying, scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime Video.
The green flag for the Pennzoil 400 is set to wave just past 3:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, with broadcast coverage carried on FS1.
