Advance Auto Parts has forged a new partnership with Wood Brothers Racing, one of NASCAR’s most iconic organizations, for Sunday’s AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Dover Motor Speedway.
Josh Berry will be piloting the No. 21 Advance Auto Parts Ford Mustang Dark Horse in the NASCAR Cup Series’ annual trip to the one-mile concrete oval, taking place on Sunday, July 20.
The addition of this partnership with Wood Brothers Racing further expands the motorsports portfolio of Advance Auto Parts, which also sponsors Ryan Blaney and Team Penske, as well as the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series — which allows short track racers to compete for track, state, regional, and national championships.
Berry is the 2020 NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series champion, a triumph which assisted in springboarding the Hendersonville, Tennessee-native into NASCAR’s National Series on a full-time basis, and eventually into the NASCAR Cup Series.
“To have Advance Auto Parts on board at Dover is really special to me,” said Berry. “They’ve done so much to support grassroots racing across the country, and I’m proud to have won the Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series championship back in 2020. It means a lot to now represent them at the Cup level with Wood Brothers Racing.”
The 34-year-old driver is currently in his first year of NASCAR Cup Series competition with Wood Brothers Racing, after contesting his rookie campaign with Stewart-Haas Racing in 2024. Berry has already locked the team into the postseason with a win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
“Advance Auto Parts has been a tremendous supporter in raising the profile of short track racing across the country for the past several years, and this partnership aligns perfectly with Josh’s background,” said Jon Wood, president, Wood Brothers Racing. “He’s a product of the system they’ve supported and continues to represent the values of grassroots racing. We’re proud to have Advance Auto Parts on board the No. 21 car at Dover.”
The partnership also reflects Advance Auto Parts’ continued investment in driver development and the future of the sport.
“Josh’s journey from the local short tracks to the Cup Series embodies the spirit of what Advance Auto Parts stands for,” said Bruce Starnes, executive vice president and chief merchant, Advance Auto Parts. “We’re proud to support him and to align with one of the most iconic teams in the sport in Wood Brothers Racing.”
The AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Dover Motor Speedway will take place on Sunday, July 20 at 2:00 pm ET on TNT Sports, Performance Racing Network, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
