Jeff Berry is a former NASCAR driver from Kingsport, TN. He competed in fourteen Nationwide Series events in his career, earning four top-tens.

Berry's debut came during the 1982 season, when he finished a career-best 52nd in the year-end points. For the most part, it was a tough year for the driver, though. Two DNFs left him 18th at Bristol and Caraway in his first two starts. After recording a solid 10th place showing at OORP - his first career top-ten - Berry finished out the year a struggling 20th at Bristol.

Berry would make four more starts during the 1983 season. He again had one good run to highlight his year, recording a career-best 7th place finish at Bristol. But the rest of the year was a struggle once more, as three DNFs left him 24th at ORP, and 24th and 16th in a pair of Hickory races.

Berry's best season statistically came during the 1984 season. In three races, Berry never finished worse than 14th. This included a 9th place run at Bristol and a 10th place showing in his first trip to Darlington. Berry's 14th place run came at Rockingham, another first-time venue for Berry.

Berry only returned for one 1985 season race, when he competed at Charlotte for the first time. It was an okay race for the driver, finishing 24th in the field of forty-two despite engine failure.

Berry's next start, which also came at Charlotte in 1986, was a tough one however. He lasted just two laps in the race before a broken rear end gear left the driver in last (42nd) place.

Berry, following that poor outing, did not return until 1990, making his final career start by making laps at Dublin. His luck, though, hadn't changed in five years, as a last (30th) place finish awaited Berry following an early engine failure.
