| After a promising run in the first 20-lap Stage of Sunday’s Grant Park 165 on the streets of Chicago, Josh Berry and the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane team were knocked out of the race by a crash early in Stage Two and left with a 34th -place finish.After starting the race from 29th place, Berry avoided a multi-car crash in the opening laps of the race and worked his way into the top 15 after just seven laps.The Motorcraft/Quick Lane team elected to pit prior to the end of Stage One and pitted from 14th place.Berry took the green flag for the start of Stage Two from 17th place, but tangled with Erik Jones in Turn Seven on Lap 29 and bounced into the barrier.The damage to the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Mustang Dark Horse from contact with the barrier was too severe to continue, and Berry’s race ended at that point. “Without seeing a replay, I feel like the 43 just kind of overcooked the corner and got us there,” Berry told reporters at the track. “It’s just disappointing. We were having a really solid day and made our way forward. “We were running well, so we’ll just keep on going and trying to get better and go on to Sonoma.” |
