Josh Berry Net Worth 2023 (Update)

Josh Berry might be a new face in the NASCAR Cup Series but he surely isn't alien to the world of motorsports. As of now, he competes full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series whilst driving for JR Motorsports. He has enjoyed a part-time role in the Cup Series in the 2023 campaign and is set to continue on a full-time basis from 2024 onwards.

In his racing career, Berry has done well in late-model racing and the CARS Tour. In fact, his major earnings have come from there and it is bound to get better as he joins Stewart-Haas Racing to compete in the Cup Series next year. Currently, as per FreshersLive, his net worth is estimated to be around $5 million.

At this point in time, his salary with JR Motorsports remains unknown. Without a doubt, various endorsement deals and the wealth amassed from racing play a big role in his annual income.

Josh Berry's Family and Personal Life

While it is known that Josh Berry was born on October 22, 1990, in Hendersonville, Tennessee, not much is known about his parents or childhood. As far as his educational background is concerned, Berry graduated from Volunteer State Community College. In fact, in his 7th and 8th grades, he had the chance to be a classmate of IndyCar winner Josef Newgarden.

Berry frequently shares pictures with his family, but unfortunately, the details of his parents are unknown to date. However, it is known that he is a married man. His wife, Ginny Berry, is a healthcare professional in York City. The couple has a daughter together named Mackenzie.

Hopefully, with time, more details about Berry's family and personal life will come to light.

Josh Berry?s NASCAR Career

At the age of eight, Josh Berry kick-started his racing career by participating in the Tennessee Karting Association. After spending a number of seasons racing go-karts, he along with his father decided to move to U.S. Legend Cars in 2006. It was in 2010 that he was asked by JR Motorsports co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr to join the JRM Late Model program.

Without hesitating, Berry went ahead with the prospect and within a year was named Late Model Most Popular Driver by Speed51.com. Ultimately, it was in 2014 that he made his NASCAR debut in the Xfinity Series at Iowa Speedway. The following year, he had a couple of top-10 finishes. However, it was in 2016 that he performed very impressively. In 24 starts then, he registered 14 victories and additional seven top-five finishes.

Berry joined JRM full time in 2022 after spending a partial season in 2021. Over the years, he has competed in the Truck Series although not as frequently as in the Xfinity Series. As far as the Cup Series is concerned, the 32-year-old made his debut at Dover International Speedway in 2021 when he substituted for Justin Haley in the Spire Motorsports #77 car.

Haley was sidelined due to Covid-19 protocols then. His second appearance in the Cup Series happened because of a similar scenario. This time it was Corey LaJoie who was sidelined due to the pandemic protocols in 2022. However, Berry's major breakthrough has come in the ongoing season.

In the 2023 campaign, Berry was presented with the opportunity to replace the injured Chase Elliott and race for Hendrick Motorsports. After Elliott's return, Josh Berry found another chance to represent HMS with Alex Bowman suffering from a back injury.

Things have only gotten better for him as he will be racing for Stewart-Haas Racing in the Cup Series the next season. In fact, the experience in the ongoing campaign will come more than handy for his full-time participation in 2024. There will be certainly a lot of pressure on him given how he will be replacing the legendary Kevin Harvick.

Josh Berry?s Wins and Championships

Josh Berry, joining JRM's Late Model program in 2010 was a turning point in his young career. In 2012, he achieved track-champion honors in the NWAAS at Motor Mile Speedway. He repeated a similar feat at Hickory Motor Speedway in 2014. The following year Berry amassed 10 victories.

It only got better in 2016 when he registered 14 wins, five of which came in the Cars Tour Late Model Stock Car series. Interestingly, between 2015 and 2016, Berry had a stunning record of winning 24 races in 48 starts, which included 30 top-five and 42 top-10 finishes. He claimed the 2017 Cars Tour Late Model Stock Car Series title in his #88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet.

In 2020, Berry had an incredible run as he won 24 races on his way to winning the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series. As far as his performance in the Xfinity Series is concerned, he registered his first win in 2021 at Martinsville Speedway. To date, he has five wins in 77 starts, which includes 24 top-five and 45 top-ten finishes.

Amazingly, Berry's temporary stint in the Cup Series this season has been quite impressive. In the eight races that he has participated in this year, he has finished once in the top five and thrice in the top ten. With more experience, he is certainly expected to register his first win sooner than later.

Josh Berry Sponsors and Endorsements?

Over the years, Berry has been associated with a number of sponsors and endorsement deals. In December last year, Jarrett Companies were confirmed as primary sponsors for Josh Berry for six races in 2023. Just a month earlier, Tire Pros confirmed their sponsorship for nine races in 2023. Among Berry's other sponsors include LubeZone, Bass Pro Shops, PUBG, etc. With him joining SHR, it is very likely that he will attract more sponsors.

Josh Berry?s Teammates

While Josh Berry has enjoyed good exposure in the NASCAR Cup Series this season, he has an interesting set of colleagues at JR Motorsports itself. Co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr, who occasionally competes in the Xfinity Series, is an invaluable personality to have as far as Berry is concerned.

Other drivers at JR Motorsports include Sam Mayer, Justin Allgaier, Brandon Jones, and Miguel Paludo. Sam is the son of former IndyCar series driver Scott Mayer. The 19-year-old is the 2019 and 2020 East Series champion. While Justin Allgaier and Miguel Paludo provide more experience, Brandon Jones is also a key team member in his full-time participation in the Xfinity Series.

How is Josh Berry related to Dale Earnhardt Jr?

It is no secret how Josh Berry and Dale Earnhardt Jr share a special bond. Interestingly, the two met when they were competing in an online sim racing league called DMP Online Racing. It hardly took them to become friends. As Berry spoke to The Tennessean, he said, "Dale asked me what I was doing, what I wanted to do, what my goals were in my life, with my career.? We just became friends."

With time, their friendship grew stronger as Berry made it to JR Motorsports as a late-model stock car driver. In fact, he couldn't have been in more awe of their bond. He said, "We have a really good relationship; we've been working together for a long time. He's always been a big supporter of me. Once he quit racing (full-time in 2017) it allowed him to really pay more attention to what I was doing. That has allowed me to get some of the opportunities that I have here [JRM] lately."
