Noah Gragson replacement crashes out of Michigan race after No. 42 driver suspended over social media conduct

Josh Berry crashed out of the race at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday before the rain came and postponed the rest of the day.

Josh Berry replaced Noah Gragson in the No. 42 car for the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday, but his day was done before the rain postponed the race.

Gragson was sidelined after he appeared to like a meme referencing George Floyd on social media. He was suspended indefinitely. NASCAR said Gragson violated the organization’s code of conduct for drivers. His team, Legacy Motor Club, also said his actions "do not represent the values of our team."

Berry was thrust into the driver’s seat as a temporary replacement for a NASCAR Cup Series driver for the fourth time this season. He rode for Chase Elliott earlier in the year after the No. 9 driver was out due to injuries sustained in a snowboarding accident.

On Sunday, Berry spun out in Stage 2, and his rear backed hard into the wall. He was later released from the infield care center upon a medical evaluation.

He told Racing America he just "got loose" in the corner and lost control.

Berry is set to replace Kevin Harvick in the No. 4 next year for Stewart-Haas Racing. He’s been a mainstay in the Xfinity Series and finished in second place during that circuit’s race on Saturday.

The race was postponed to Monday after the rain came down and soaked the track. Those drivers still in the race started their engines and were able to complete the rest of the laps.

Chris Buescher took home his second straight victory as he held off Martin Truex Jr.
