Josh Berry on Las Vegas practice crash: 'It's a shame to be that slow and blow a tire'
There were several tire issues in NASCAR Cup practice, and a big hit for the Wood Brothers Racing driver
During NASCAR practice at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, tire troubles emerged as teams continued to experiment with air pressures. The city's challenging track, featuring a sharp bump in Turns 1 and 2, compounded the issue, causing two Fords to collide. Josh Berry, driving the No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing Ford, suffered a significant crash.
He acknowledged the blowout, expressing disappointment in being slow and then losing a tire. Berry stated, "It s a shame to be that slow and then blow a tire. That s pretty bad." Front Row Motorsports' Noah Gragson encountered the same predicament and ultimately failed to qualify due to the damage, forcing him to start at the back of the grid in Sunday's Cup race. He also attributed the problem to a tire issue. Berry plans to use a backup vehicle for the race.
