MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Officials from the Solid Rock Carriers CARS Tour have announced that Josh Berry has been suspended one race following his action in last Saturday’s event at Ace Speedway.

Berry was involved in a late-race incident with race leader Bobby McCarty during The Race at Ace 125 that saw Berry, who was several laps down, crash McCarty in retribution for an incident earlier in the race.

McCarty was unable to finish the race and CARS Tour officials disqualified Berry from the event. Ryan Millington went on to win the event.

First reported by Race22.com and later confirmed by Berry, the JR Motorsports driver has been suspended for one event for his actions and won’t compete in Saturday’s Race Face Tel-Med 300.

The email that was provided to Race22 by CARS Tour officials reads as follows:

“Following his on-track actions, Josh Berry driver of the #88 JR Motorsports entry, has been suspended for one (1) CARS Tour sanctioned event and disqualified from the Ace Speedway event on June 6, 2020, thus losing all earned driver/owner championship points, as well as his earnings.

“Berry is suspended under the CARS Tour rulebook which states any driver deemed by CARS Tour officials that his/her actions are detrimental to stock car racing via a flagrant rough driving will receive a minimum penalty of $500, disqualification, suspension, and loss of championship points.

“Berry’s suspension will take effect at the upcoming CARS Tour Hickory Motor Speedway event on June 13, 2020.”
