Have you ever wondered why two drivers from the same team, driving similar cars, can’t consistently finish at the same positions in NASCAR? Obviously, drivers’ skills, fortitude, and experience play a major role in this. NASCAR is a team sport where the crew chiefs, drivers, pit crew, spotters, and even sponsors have to contribute significantly. In simple terms, if any one of these elements is weak, it undermines the efforts of the rest, no matter how skillful the driver or how fast the car

In the past week, the talk of the town has been Tony Stewart’s announcement of hiring Josh Berry. Later, Tony revealed the reason why Stewart-Haas Racing selected Josh Berry and that one factor in their team that can make him successful.

Tony Stewart reveals the one factor that could make or break Josh Berry

Josh Berry has consistently demonstrated his talent and skill whenever given the opportunity, including his impressive performance as a substitute for Chase Elliott and Alex Bowman. His abilities on the track have caught the attention of many.

However, it’s crucial to recognize that a talented driver is nothing without a good team. Tony Stewart addressed his point and said, “I think the right fit is the most important key to this. You can find talent in race car drivers but if you don’t put in with the right people and don’t have the right group around him, It’s not successful.”

Tony’s statement highlights the significance of a cohesive and capable team in maximizing Berry’s potential. It’s not just about individual talent; it’s about creating an environment where the driver and team can work together effectively and achieve success.
