Las Vegas Hero Josh Berry Receives Mega Sponsorship Deal With $20 Billion German Empire

One driver who’s surprised a lot of people this season is Josh Berry. He’s the latest to take the wheel of the iconic No. 21 car for Wood Brothers Racing—and he even picked up his first Cup Series win with them at Las Vegas. Not bad for just his second year in the Cup Series.

So far, Berry has two top-five finishes and has definitely turned some heads in the WBR camp. Generally, one-car teams in NASCAR struggle—just look at the Haas Factory Team or Rick Ware Racing. But Berry’s starting to change that story. And thanks to that strong showing, he’s landed a major sponsor.

Next up is the Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway: the Würth 400. What makes this weekend even more special for Berry and WBR is that the event’s title sponsor is now backing their team.

Josh Berry Is Pumped To Get a New Partner

This will only be Berry’s second time taking a Next Gen car around Texas, but he’s no stranger to the track. The 34-year-old has four Xfinity Series starts on the 1.5-mile oval and finished in the top 10 twice.

His first Cup start there didn’t go so well—he finished P36—but this time, he’s coming in with more confidence. First, because he’s having a solid season. Second, because he now has the backing of Würth.

The Würth Group, based in Germany, includes 400 companies and is valued at more than $20 billion. That’s huge—and getting support from the race’s title sponsor makes this weekend even more meaningful for Berry.

Talking about the new deal, Berry said, “It’s always exciting to welcome a new partner to the team, and having Würth join us for the Würth 400 makes it even more special. The car looks awesome – it’s a clean, aggressive design that really stands out. I’m looking forward to getting to Texas and hopefully putting together a strong run.”

This has to be a big boost for WBR. The team has struggled in recent years. Just last season, the only reason they made the playoffs was because Harrison Burton survived a wild Daytona race and got pushed to the front by Parker Retzlaff for the win.

But now, with a steady hand like Berry behind the wheel, the team is looking stronger than it has in a long time. The Vegas win wasn’t a fluke. The No. 21 team ran up front consistently, led laps, and earned it.

And now, with a big-name sponsor coming on board—especially at a time when NASCAR is battling for attention and major sponsors like FedEx have left—it says a lot about where WBR is headed.
