Josh Berry won Saturday's NASCAR Xfinity race at Vegas to secure Playoff Final 4 spot.
The win is hugely significant, earning Berry the automatic position in the Championship 4 in the season finale at Phoenix Raceway on Nov. 5 – his first opportunity to race for the season title.When the 31-year old Tennessee native ultimately climbed out of his Chevy at the finish line, he took time to remove his helmet – standing alongside his Chevy and soaking in the importance of the day and the championship implications – far removed from his job as a bank teller years ago.
“Had a caution with 30 to go and was able to wrestle the lead away from those guys and build enough of a [points] gap to keep it,’’ Berry said. “I tell you, I’m just speechless.’’ Allmendinger - the regular-season champion had to pit under green flag conditions shortly after racing Berry up front for the lead – a pair of loose tires ultimately derailing his day. Allmendinger’s 22nd place finish in the No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet was the lowest among the eight current Playoff drivers.
