Wood Brothers Racing faced a tough race at the AdventHealth 400 in Kansas, with driver Josh Berry finishing 27th after starting from 30th. The team struggled despite an early gain into the top 25 due to limited caution flags, which prevented them from capitalizing on pit strategy to regain lost laps. As the race progressed, Berry maintained his position but ended up two laps down by the finish, leaving him in 26th place in the series standings. The team's next challenge is the unpredictable Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.
