Born in Menomonee Falls, WI in 1995, Bilicki already has over twenty-one years of racing experience. Beginning with karts at age four, he quickly moved through the karting ranks before reaching shifter karts by age twelve. Josh made the transition to sportscar racing at age fifteen and after four years of racing Spec Miata, he made his professional racing debut in IMSA in 2015. 2016 marked new beginnings for Josh as he made his NASCAR debut at Road America and in 2017, Bilicki made his first NASCAR Cup Series start. In 2021, Bilicki took the next step in his career and competed in his first full-time season in the NASCAR Cup Series. Josh is currently the only driver from Wisconsin competing in the NASCAR Cup Series. Whether it is a “meet and greet” with avid racing fans or team partners and their employees and customers, Josh has the ability to attract his fans to his sponsors. Josh can do it all when it comes to marketing. This is a self-taught skill that he learned throughout the years, which helps further his racing career.
