Wood Brothers Racing has been linked to several Ford drivers, such as Chase Briscoe and Noah Gragson, but it appears to be focused on one in particular. On Tuesday, it was reported that Josh Berry and Wood Brothers Racing are in advanced talks for the 2025 NASCAR season. Now, more signs point toward Berry driving the No. 21 car in 2025.
On Wednesday morning at 11:00 a.m. ET, Wood Brothers Racing will announce its plans for the 2025 NASCAR season, which is expected to feature Berry in the No. 21 Cup car. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has impressed in his rookie Cup Series season, sitting 19th in the point standings ahead of notable drivers such as Austin Cindric, Michael McDowell, and Noah Gragson.
Berry has two top-5 and four top-10 finishes through 19 races and has only improved with more time in the No. 4 car. The 33-year-old driver needed to find a new home as Stewart-Haas Racing closes shop after the 2024 season. Wood Brothers Racing has been in the market for a new driver, and landing Berry would be an excellent situation for the organization.

Nashville, TN

Over the weekend at Nashville Superspeedway, Chase Elliott and Hendrick Motorsports’ relationship with Hooters became a topic of conversation. Hooters was no longer listed as a sponsor for Hendrick Motorsports and was removed from the No. 9 team. On Monday morning, Hendrick Motorsports confirmed the rumors going around about the sponsor to RACER’s Kelly Crandall.
Due to Hooters’ inability to meet its business obligations to the organization, Hendrick Motorsports has ended its relationship with the company. Elliott’s first NASCAR Cup Series victory since 2022 came with Hooters at Texas Motor Speedway earlier in the year. Hooters was also supposed to sponsor the No. 9 car at Richmond Raceway later this season.
This is a disappointing development for Elliott, as Hooters is a notable sponsor for Hendrick Motorsports. The good thing for the 2020 Cup Series champion is that Hooters doesn’t have many scheduled races throughout the 2024 NASCAR season. It may not affect Elliott’s sponsorship too severely, but seeing them out at Hendrick Motorsports is disappointing.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
