Josh Berry Driving for Jordan Anderson Racing at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course

PC: Bommarito Automotive | Twitter

After claiming his first career NASCAR Xfinity Series victory at Martinsville Speedway, Josh Berry will get to return to the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, expanding his schedule to include the his first career road course event aboard Jordan Anderson Racing’s No. 31 Chevrolet Camaro.

In the organization’s first NASCAR Xfinity Series start, Jordan Anderson Racing collected an eighth-place result at Circuit of The Americas with Tyler Reddick piloting the No. 31 Bommarito Automotive Group Chevrolet Camaro. Reddick will return to the seat for Saturday’s Alsco Uniforms 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

“I have made 16 Xfinity starts throughout my career – all on ovals. This is a great opportunity to get in another great Chevrolet race car fielded by Jordan Anderson Racing and add a road course to my resume. After the win at Martinsville this year with JRM, I am excited to see what the rest of the season has in store, and any opportunity to gain more experience helps us build for the future,” said Berry. “I am hopeful we will be able get the No. 31 Bommarito Automotive Group Chevrolet Camaro SS up front and continue the great momentum we have had.”

“Josh has had a lot of great success in a Chevrolet over the years, but strictly on ovals. As NASCAR moves its model to include more road courses each year, he will need to gain the experience on that type of track as well to contend for a Championship,” Stated Chevrolet Xfinity Series Program Manager Shane Martin. “JAR has great equipment and this is an opportunity that will allow Josh to sharpen his skills going both left and right.”

“I am really looking forward to working with Josh and having him compete for us at Mid-Ohio,” Said JAR Owner Jordan Anderson. “Like Tyler did for us last week, he has the ability to bring a lot of talent and experience to the table for our team to evaluate where we are, grow, and lay the groundwork for the future. I am grateful to everyone at the Bommarito Automotive Group and Chevrolet for standing behind our team and giving Josh this opportunity.”

Jordan Anderson Racing’s move to put Josh Berry in the No. 31 at Mid-Ohio is a smart one, as it will automatically lock the organization into the Mid-Ohio event, regardless of if the team ends up in the top-40 in Owner Points after Saturday’s event at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

According to the NASCAR Xfinity Series Rule Book, when no qualifying is scheduled, any driver or team owner whose entry is outside the top-30 in Owner Points and has won a NASCAR Xfinity Series event in this, or the previous calendar year, is automatically locked into the event, meaning Josh Berry and Jordan Anderson Racing WILL qualify for the event.
