Tanner Berryhill

In early December it was announced that Obaika Racing would field Berryhill for the full schedule in 2019. He will pilot the team's No. 97 Toyota and run for Rookie of the Year. Veteran crew chief, Dan Stillman, will call the shots from atop the team's war wagon. Berryhill made two starts at the end of last season with this race team, and netted 31st- and 38th-place finishes at Phoenix and Homestead. It was a good trial run for the young driver and team. It was a good opportunity to work out some kinks and set some goals for this season. Berryhill faces slim odds of winning the ROTY, and an uphill battle every week to be competitive with this very new race team.
