| Josh Berry and the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane team head to North Wilkesboro Speedway this weekend as the NASCAR Cup Series returns to the historic short track for its first points-paying event there since 1996.The 0.625-mile oval has deep roots in NASCAR history, and the Wood Brothers enjoyed success there before the series’ original departure from the schedule. In 46 Cup Series starts at North Wilkesboro, Wood Brothers Racing recorded two pole positions — both by team founder Glenn Wood in 1958 and 1959 — and two victories with Marvin Panch in 1963 and 1964. The team also compiled 14 top-five and 23 top-10 finishes at the track located less than 80 miles from the organization’s longtime home in Stuart, Virginia.Berry, who was just a child when the Cup Series last contested a points race at North Wilkesboro, welcomed the return of the historic short track to the points schedule.”It’s exciting that North Wilkesboro is hosting a points race,” Berry said. “It’s a place with so much history in our sport, and the team there has done a great job bringing it back. We learned some things during the test earlier this year, but I expect it’ll race differently with more cars and a longer event.”It’ll be important to stay on top of the balance throughout the night and make sure we’re in a good position at the end.”Practice for the Window World 450 is scheduled for Saturday at 5 p.m. ET, with qualifying following at 6:10 p.m. ET. Both sessions will air on truTV.Sunday’s 450-lap, 281.25-mile race is set to take the green flag at 7 p.m. ET. Stage breaks are scheduled for Laps 80 and 265, with TNT providing live television coverage. |
