Josh Berry has been a pretty impressive figure in the Xfinity Series scene. This is because he has snatched two wins in the 2021 Xfinity Series season. The first one came at the Martinsville Speedway for JR Motorsports in the #8 car. The second one came at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for JR Motorsports’ #1 car.

It is also worth mentioning that he has continued his good run of form outside NASCAR. He has been making a splash in the Late Model category, with a few wins under his belt. Safe to say, his Xfinity boss, Dale Earnhardt Jr, has been taking notice and likes what he is seeing.
