North Wilkesboro, NC – after his victory in Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the Fifth Nascar Cup series of the season, Josh Berry’s chances worsened.
On March 30, Berry at Martinsville Speedway took 40 rounds before the electricity problems at Wood Brothers Racing Ford – 21 – required a change of battery – dropped it to 32nd at the end.
A week later, an accident in 195 rounds ended a promising run at the Darlington Racing Track. Berry, who ranked 12th in Bristol, was sentenced to a speed of a speed that left him 26th in Taldega.
On May 4, Texas Motor Speedway took 41 rounds with a highly fast car, the last corner crashes upset his car, and the Mustang number 21 hit the outer wall.
Last Sunday, after excavating the wall during qualifying at Kansas Speedway, Berry’s deying began to develop. 38. He lasted from the starting position to the sixth place despite the penalty for accelerating a pit path that sent him to the back of the second time.
Instead of being disappointed with the unfortunate series, Berry was the buoy because of the speed in his cars.
Berry is much less disappointed than last year, Ber Berry said from the lame season in Stewart-haas Racing. “Being competitive is the biggest thing. The hardest thing to understand is how these races will be leaded quickly and you’ll start to struggle with yourself and we’ve done so much.
“Making mistakes and these mistakes are up to me, but the only thing we can do continues to put me in this position and work on these things and continue to be better and ends will come.
“Last week (in Kansas), if I did not speed up on the way to the pit, so if it is inserted a little more, but ultimately, our entire team does a great job. Our cars should do fast and small things a little better and we will be there.”
-Christopher Bell needs more speed in intermediate pieces
After winning three Straight Nascar Cup series races at the beginning of this season, Bell did not fall because of the Earth – but sometimes he can feel the driver of Joe Gibbs of Toyota.
Reason? Optimal performance lack of medium speed paths. It may not show lack of endings, because Bell acknowledges that he and his team perform better than the potential in cars.
In the last three suppressing force race, Bell was ninth in Bell, Texas Motor Speedway and a fast -closing second in Kansas Speedway, Darlington Raceway, but these results are a bit misleading.
Bell, “Well, I can not say that I am not surprised (since the three race series) because it is very difficult to win, but I was definitely surprised to have intermediate pieces.” He said. “At the end of last year, we really succeeded in the intermediates and the most powerful contestants were.
“And then the last few weeks, a week and a week, we haven’t been there yet. Hopefully, we create gains on it. I feel that Kansas is a little better than in Texas and Darlington than it is, so if we can take another step when entering Charlotte, maybe we will participate in winning, but we will definitely be a little missing at this point.”
Charlotte was good for Bell last year. Coca-Cola won 600 from 400 rounds to 249 due to rain.
-North Wilkesboro brings a new experience to the modified driver Tim Connolly
The news of being selected as one of the top 40 drivers in the history of Nascar Whenen Modified Tour left Connolly silent – rare for popular, worse competitors.
Connolly was going to North Wilkesboro Speedway from his home in New York when he got the news.
“It’s a big surprise, Conn Connolly said, as one of the top 10 drivers on the 40th anniversary of the series. “A lot of wonderful companies outside. Race like the weekend – a difficult area.
“Very proud, very honorable and also humble.”
Connolly, a former star player at Ithaca College, found his call in the race. His career bloomed when he went on a journey to the iconic “Mystic Missile”, the number 4 car owned by Robert Garbarino.
In 1997, Connolly, who launched Garbarino’s car, demanded four of his nine career victory and came second in the series ranking.
Connolly made three races in 2002 and then left the tour, just in 2023, he returned with his own car at the age of 62.
However, Connolly is having a new experience in the Whelen Modified Tour Race in North Wilkesboro on Sunday. Ryan Newman, not Connolly, will drive the car.
Connolly in the third back surgery, “I miss the seat in a terrible way-I will not lie to you,” he said. “The problem is that I continue to forget that I’m 64. I don’t promise anyone about anything right now. I will keep my mouth closed and my options open.”
Even if he was a violent competitor like Newman in his car, Connolly said it would be difficult to spend the race as an audience.
“I want to throw Ryan out and go back to my car,” Connolly said. “There are too big names in the show. To be honest, being on the edge will not be very fun. I prefer to be there.
“This will allow someone else to drive my car for the first time. I don’t even allow people to drive my passenger car.
