Harrison Burton has been replaced by Josh Berry in the Wood Brothers’ team for the 2025 NASCAR season. This announcement has caused a stir in the racing community, as Berry is considered a deserving and consistent winner who will be a great addition to the Ford team. Dale Earnhardt Jr., a NASCAR Hall of Famer, expressed his happiness for Berry and believes he has what it takes to be successful on Sundays. Junior played a significant role in Berry’s career, from scouting him in 2010 to helping him secure a seat in the Xfinity Series in 2020.
This move marks Burton’s third season with Wood Brothers’, but he has not been able to deliver the desired results. Both the driver and the team have struggled to maximize the potential of their cars and achieve their goal of winning the 100th Cup race. Despite this, Burton understands the business decision and will continue to compete for the remainder of the 2024 season. It will be interesting to see how Berry and Burton perform for the rest of this year and what opportunities await them in the future.
