MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Tire Pros will rejoin JR Motorsports in 2023 with an extension featuring nine NASCAR Xfinity Series races as primary partner with driver Josh Berry and associate placement in the remaining 24 events.
Building off a successful two-season stint, Tire Pros and Berry will compete together for a third consecutive season in the No. 8 Chevrolet.
“Greg (Bell, Tire Pros president) and the team over at Tire Pros are a huge reason I’m able to drive in the Xfinity Series,” said Berry. “They took a chance on me in 2021 and for that I am forever thankful. We had a great first year together and were able to follow that up by putting the Tire Pros Chevrolet into Victory Lane at Dover. I can’t wait to continue that success in 2023.”
“We are thrilled to be partnering with JR Motorsports and Josh Berry for the 2023 season,” said Greg Bell, Tire Pros president. “Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kelley Earnhardt Miller and Josh have been great partners and we are looking forward to continuing the growth and success we’ve had together. We can’t wait for Josh to be competing in the Championship 4 at Phoenix Raceway next month and look forward to cheering him on there, and throughout next year.”
Berry is currently having a banner year alongside Tire Pros in 2022, earning three wins, 11 top fives, 20 top 10s and a berth in the Xfinity Series Playoffs.
At Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway earlier this season, Berry led 55 laps behind the wheel of the Tire Pros Camaro en route to his fourth career win and second consecutive year with multiple victories. Currently, Berry is in the thick of the championship hunt as the first of four drivers to qualify for the Championship Four finale at Phoenix Raceway next month.
Specific races and a paint scheme unveil for the No. 8 Tire Pros Chevrolet will come at a later date.
