Josh Berry’s Pocono Setback and the Road to a Historic Naval Base Race

A multi‑car incident forced the Wood Brothers’ No. 21 team to lose valuable laps, but the next event promises a fresh start on an unprecedented venue.

A Turbulent Stage at Pocono

The opening stage of the Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono Raceway turned chaotic when a multi‑car incident ripped through the field just as Stage 2 was about to begin. Josh Berry, piloting the No. 21 Capgemini Ford, felt the first jolt of the crash before his car’s suspension was compromised, forcing the team into an early pit stop.

Although Berry managed to finish Stage 1 in 21st position, the damage persisted and dropped him to 27th by the end of Stage 2. The crew worked feverishly to repair the suspension, but the effort cost the team two laps, relegating them to a 33rd‑place finish overall.

A Historic Venue Awaits

Next weekend the team will head to Naval Base Coronado for the Anduril 250 Race the Base, a milestone event that marks the first NASCAR race ever staged on an active U.S. military installation. The race will be broadcast live on the custom United States – English – nascar delivery channel.

While the loss of laps at Pocono is a setback, the Wood Brothers see the upcoming event as an opportunity to reset and showcase the resilience of the No. 21 program. The partnership with Capgemini and Ford remains a cornerstone of the team’s strategy as it prepares for the unique challenges of the Coronado venue.
