Josh Berry, driver of the No. 4 Overstock.com Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Stewart-Haas Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series, answered questions from the media Saturday at Nashville Superspeedway. Among other thing, he was asked about his plans for 2025.
DO YOU FEEL MORE OPTIMISTIC NOW THAT YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE A SPOT IN THE CUP SERIES THAN YOU WERE A MONTH AGO?
“Yeah, I feel good about having a spot in the Cup Series next year. I feel like our results have been really strong the last couple of months. I don’t really know other than winning a race at this point is the only thing left that I can do. We’ve finished in the top five. We’ve ran up front. We’ve led laps. We’ve showed the potential that we can do, so I think that’s been a big confidence boost for me. I really think that whole situation, at least for myself and our team, you find a lot about yourself when your back is against the wall and everybody is performing at a really high level, the highest probably we ever have, and we’re fighting together and I feel like opportunities will come.”
DO YOU THINK YOU AND RODNEY WILL BE ABLE TO STAY TOGETHER NEXT YEAR WHEREVER YOU END UP?
“I agree with his side of things. We’ve had a ton of discussions, all kinds of different things. Some days you feel like it’s more possible than others. I would love to stay with Rodney. I know he feels the same way, but I really can’t say for sure. I think time will tell. There’s been some opportunities out there where maybe that’s possible. There are some other opportunities where we’re not as sure if that’s possible, but we’re gonna keep trying to provide results on the track like we have been the last couple of months. Having races like we had at Iowa and last week at New Hampshire, I mean, that’s the biggest audition there is. We’re working together well and the way I look at it, it’s no risk. It’s turn key. You plug us in there and put the right people around us, we’re gonna run like we do now.”
