The excitement of NASCAR reached new heights at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway this past Sunday as Josh Berry claimed a spectacular victory in the NASCAR Cup Series. Here's what the drivers had to say following the dramatic race.

Josh Berry — Winner:

"I’m incredibly proud of everyone on this Wood Brothers team. They build phenomenal race cars, and driving for them is a true honor. Being a Cup Series winner is a surreal and special moment for me. Throughout the race, we executed well, even managing to rebound from a pit road mishap. I’m just trying to soak it all in and fully enjoy this incredible experience."

Daniel Suarez — Finished 2nd:

"I'm a bit disappointed but I want to extend my congratulations to Josh and the 21 team. They’ve been consistently fast, and they did an exceptional job today. Our strategy was spot on, and the pit stops were executed flawlessly. We just struggled a bit with short run speed—too much contact in turns one and two ultimately cost us the race."

Ryan Preece — Finished 3rd:

"Coming into the season, the motto is to be aggressive and take risks, and we did just that. I'm thrilled for Josh; he's a great driver and teammate. I’m proud of everyone on our Consumer Cellular Ford Mustang Dark Horse team for their efforts today."

William Byron — Finished 4th:

"Our race was turned upside down by fuel strategy. Despite starting in the 20s, we managed to race our way back to the front. Our car was a handful in traffic, and we need to work on that—the race changed significantly after we lost a few positions at the start."

Ross Chastain — Finished 5th:

"I was fully committed to helping Daniel get to the lead during the early stages. We worked well together, but unfortunately, he lost control, which allowed Josh to slip by. It's frustrating; I believe we had the speed to win."

Austin Cindric — Finished 6th:

"Today was a solid performance from our Discount Tire Ford Mustang team. I felt we showed great pace and made a fantastic comeback after some setbacks. There’s definitely potential for growth from here."

Following an intense battle on the track, several notable drivers expressed their frustrations and hopes for the upcoming races:

Christopher Bell (12th) acknowledged the challenges of maintaining a consistent race balance, noting the ups and downs throughout the day.

Joey Logano (15th) lamented a pit road mistake that hindered what could have been a better finish.

Michael McDowell (16th) encountered early difficulties but managed to adapt, finishing just outside the top 10.

John Hunter Nemechek (20th) and others, including Ty Dillon (21st) and Erik Jones (27th), shared insights on their day's challenges, emphasizing the lessons learned and areas for improvement moving forward.

The race also saw unfortunate incidents for notable drivers. Kyle Busch faced a severe setback with a pit road speeding penalty that significantly affected his race, while Austin Dillon battled misfortune in a later wreck despite having a promising car.

As the NASCAR Cup Series moves on, all eyes will be on the next race at Homestead-Miami, where drivers will seek redemption and new victories, with Josh Berry looking to continue his momentum after this monumental win.

Stay tuned for what promises to be an electrifying season!
