"It feels good": Josh Berry on Wood Brothers Racing's second-best finish this season at Loudon
Josh Berry put up a valiant fight to finish runner-up at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. After a torrid run in the Round of 16, the Wood Brothers Racing driver was one of the first to get eliminated from the playoffs. He'd finished outside the top-30 in all three races of the opening round.
However, the Hendorsonville native bounced back with a second-row start at the Loudon track. He led ten of the 301-lap event, but eventually succumbed to a faster Ryan Blaney. Nonetheless, their battle wasn't smooth sailing, as Blaney later described it as a scary scrap to the finish.
Berry, meanwhile, tipped his hat to Blaney's skill.
"Hats off to Ryan at the end. All of our cars were really strong, and Ryan did a great job there. I was honestly surprised. I was a little worried when he got around me as quick as he did, but it seemed like it leveled out, and I was able to keep him honest at least at the end," he said in an interview with NBC Sports. "Just a shame to finish second, but after the last couple weeks, it feels good. This is definitely what we’re capable of, and hopefully we can keep it going. It’s definitely a tough situation. You’ve got to take care of him. That’s how I try to race, anyway. These restarts and stuff, I try to do the best I can to be smart. It’s tough out there sometimes. I was going to race him hard but clean,” he added.Wood Brothers Racing has secured two years in a row. Harrison Burton previously won for the team in last year's regular-season finale at Daytona International Speedway.
