Josh Berry and the No. 21 DEX Imaging Ford Mustang Dark Horse will roll off from the 33rd starting position in Sunday’s Bank of America ROVAL 400 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course.
Berry secured the spot with a lap at 92.974 miles per hour around the 17-turn, 2.28-mile ROVAL — a hybrid layout that combines the traditional oval with a winding infield road course.
In a rare reversal of the usual trend, Berry’s best speed came in practice rather than qualifying. His opening lap of the 12 he completed in the session clocked in at 93.548 mph, setting the pace for the No. 21 team before they turned their focus to qualifying adjustments.
Sunday’s 109-lap, 248.52-mile race serves as both the Round of 12 finale in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs and the final road-course event of the season. The green flag is scheduled to wave shortly after 3 p.m. ET, with live coverage on USA Network, PRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Channel 90). Stage breaks are planned for Laps 25 and 50.
