Wisconsin’s Bilicki To Race At NASCAR Road America Event

Josh Bilicki of Richfield will start his second year as a NASCAR driver on Sunday, when the Johnsonville 180 in the Xfinity Series is run at Road America in Elkhart Lake. The 22-year-old Bilicki made his debut in NASCAR’s second tier series last August, and he recently had two starts in the top Monster Energy circuit. He drove in two I-M-S-A events in 2015 and was also a driving coach before he almost tripped into NASCAR. Bilicki tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel he searched for teams that were looking for drivers — and he found an entry list in which Obaika Racing did not have drivers for its two entries. He did not finish his debut Xfinity event because of an electrical problem — but it was enough for him to work out a new deal. Hear the Johnsonville 180 on AM 980 WCUB beginning at 1:30 PM.
