| With rain canceling all on-track activity for the NASCAR Cup Series Saturday at Dover Motor Speedway, the starting lineup for Sunday’s Autotrader 400 was set by the rulebook. Josh Berry will start 14th in the No. 21 Advance Auto Parts Ford Mustang Dark Horse. “It’s really cool to have Advance Auto Parts on board this weekend,” Berry said earlier in the day during a press availability. “Obviously the tie-in with the Weekly Series national championship I won in 2020 – that was the first Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series national championship – so it’s super cool to have them on the car this weekend. It reminds me of those times that I look back on very fondly.” Dover has played a meaningful role in Berry’s racing journey. He made his Cup Series debut at the Monster Mile in 2021 and returned the following season to capture a NASCAR Xfinity Series win. “This is a place I’ve always enjoyed coming to,” said Berry. “I’ve had really good results here in the Xfinity Series – getting that win and two second places with JRM – so I’m excited to be here this weekend and hopefully we can continue that on with the 21 car on Sunday.” And for Berry, the trophy that comes with a Dover win still stands out. “It’s an awesome trophy. It’s right there front-and-center in my living room.” With a solid starting spot and a history of success at Dover, Berry and the No. 21 team are ready to take on the Monster Mile. Coverage of Sunday’s 400-lap race begins at 2 p.m. ET on TNT, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. |
