Stewart-Haas Racing team co-owner Tony Stewart says Berry got the ride the old-fashioned way ... he earned it.
Berry was discovered by Dale Earnhardt Jr. on iRacing more than a decade ago.Josh Berry didn’t buy the right to be Kevin Harvick’s successor at Stewart-Haas Racing. He earned it.
Berry was discovered by Dale Earnhardt Jr. on iRacing more than a decade ago. Earnhardt tested him and then hired him to drive his Late Model. A Hendersonville, Tennessee, native, Berry moved to North Carolina and lived with Earnhardt’s mother while he drove Late Models for Earnhardt. In 2014, Berry began driving a limited number of NASCAR Xfinity Series races for JR Motorsports.
In gaining the SHR ride, Berry has bucked what many consider the status quo in auto racing. He has never bought a ride and he’ll be 33 years old when he becomes a full-time NASCAR Cup driver for the first time. It’s an age that many believe is too old to start a Cup career, but Stewart and Kevin Harvick disagree.
Childers, a former Late Model driver, has watched Berry ever since he started racing Late Models at Hickory, North Carolina. When Childers was told he got to pick Harvick’s successor, there was no doubt in the veteran crew chief’s mind who he wanted in the No. 4 Ford in 2024.
