When Josh Berry took the checkered flag at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday, he didn’t just end a long winless streak for the Wood Brothers. He also sparked an unprecedented surge in diecast sales—one that set a record for NASCAR’s oldest active team.
It turns out that Berry’s win in the iconic No. 21 Ford Mustang wasn’t just historic on the track—it also made history in the merchandise world. According to an inside source, Berry’s first-win diecast just cleared its production minimum, ensuring it will be made. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
For the Wood Brothers, this is a level of diecast success they’ve never seen before. The sheer volume of different diecast models sold to start a season—spanning various paint schemes and special editions—has never been higher in the team’s history. That means more fans than ever are clamoring to own a piece of Wood Brothers Racing’s latest chapter.
It’s a stark contrast to recent years, where sales of the team’s diecasts were far from guaranteed. But Berry’s victory has clearly reignited enthusiasm for the legendary No. 21.
While the win itself was a moment of redemption for a team that hadn’t visited Victory Lane since 2017, the booming demand for diecasts proves just how much this victory means to fans. It’s not just about breaking a performance drought—it’s about bringing fresh energy to a team that has defined NASCAR history for over 70 years.
With momentum on their side and a renewed wave of fan support, the Wood Brothers are riding high. And if diecast sales are any indication, Berry’s first win might just be the start of something even bigger.
