Freddie Kraft suggests Jesse Love may replace Josh Berry at Wood Brothers
Summary

Josh Berry announced he will not return to Wood Brothers Racing for the 2027 season. Speculation surrounds Jesse Love as a potential replacement, following comments from co-host Freddie Kraft on the Door Bumper Clear podcast. Love, a highly regarded prospect, previously competed for other available rides but is now considered a candidate for Wood Brothers due to a lack of options. At 22 years old, he may join a rookie class that includes Corey Heim. The partnership with Team Penske offers some support, potentially making this a viable opportunity for Love's career.
