JOSH BILICKI, SPIRE MOTORSPORTS SUPPORT UKRANIAN HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS AT KANSAS SPEEDWAY

JOSH BILICKI, SPIRE MOTORSPORTS SUPPORT UKRANIAN
HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS AT KANSAS SPEEDWAY

Initiative to Highlight Civilian and Humanitarian Needs 

Picture
CONCORD, N.C. (May 10, 2022) – Josh Bilicki will carry the colors of the Ukranian flag in this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway where the driver of Spire Motorsports No. 77 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 will show his support for ongoing humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.  
 
Bilicki will carry in the insignia of the Ukranian American Coordinating Council (UACC) on the hood of the No. 77 Chevy while the phrase Slava Ukraini (Glory to Ukraine) will be featured across the machine’s door and upper-rear quarter panels. Ukranian cities Kharikiv, Kherson, Kyiv, Mariupol and Mykolaiv will also be incorporated throughout Bilicki’s paint scheme.   
 
The UACC is a Ukrainian-American organization founded over 50 years ago by Ukrainian men and women who fought for freedom in World War II and immigrated to the United States, becoming citizens and supporters of both countries. Today, the UACC’s focus is to provide urgent help and support for Ukrainian civilian defense units by procuring and shipping helmets and body armor to Ukraine in bulk quantities.
 
“In 1991 when Ukraine became independent, many believed that their dreams had finally come to fruition, showing those in Ukraine the path to true democracy,” explained Oksana Tscherepenko, VP of the UACC.  “Now, as we watch the occupiers threaten Ukraine’s right to freedom and democracy, it becomes obvious that this dream is not fully realized and our men, women, children and elderly are being killed just for protecting their fundamental rights to democracy. Many civilians are defending themselves and Ukraine with little training and without proper gear or protection.
 
“After receiving a license from the U.S. State Department, the UACC purchased gear and received incredibly generous donations from individuals, law enforcement agencies, and state national guards, allowing us to ship an abundance of ballistic gear including helmets, vests and plates. One hundred percent of that gear is delivered to civilians in Ukraine who need it the most.” 
 
Bilicki has made six NCS starts for Spire Motorsports in 2022, earning a season-best 16th-place finish in the March 20 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Sunday’s AdventHealth 400 will mark the Menomonee Falls, Wis., native’s sixth start in NASCAR’s premier division at the 1.5-mile Kansas City, Kan., oval.
 
“As I prepare for this weekend’s race in Kansas, there are civilian men and women defending their freedom and lives on the other side of the world in Ukraine,” said Bilicki. “It’s easy for us to take our freedom for granted, which allows us to enjoy life, liberty and do what we love. The UACC’s mission is to provide support for Ukrainian civilian men and women, who often don’t have the equipment they need to protect themselves in their struggle for freedom. Our message this weekend is that we support the ongoing global humanitarian effort and provide hope to the men, women and children of Ukraine.”
 
The AdventHealth 400 from Kansas Speedway will be televised live on FS1 Sunday, May 15 beginning at 3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The 13th of 36 races on the 2022 NCS schedule will be broadcast live on the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.

This will be the first of six events in the NASCAR Xfinity season that Bilicki will join Alpha Prime Racing.  

The Builder's Outlet Super Store is set to run its fourth consecutive season with Josh Bilicki behind the wheel. The BOSS is the retailer of choice for flooring, remodeling, and contractor professionals as well as homeowners and DIY’ers. Riding along with The BOSS on the No. 45 Camaro is Lemons of Love, a non-profit organization that provides chemo care packages to cancer patients and programming at its Lemons of Love Cancer Resource Center in Mt. Prospect, Illinois. The program originated from a care package received by founder Jill Swanson Peltier from a friend while she was undergoing cancer treatment and has grown into a worldwide effort.

The Wisconsin native has a long list of racing achievements earned throughout his career especially at road courses. Competing in four of the six road course events in the Xfinity season showcases his talent not only as an oval racer but a road course racer as well.

"The COTA race weekend has been marked on my calendar for some time now because it's not only the first road course of the season, but also my first race with Alpha Prime Racing! The team has put in a lot of work over the past few months and their results have reflected that on the track” stated Bilicki. “I'm looking forward to carrying The BOSS and Lemons of Love logos on our #45 Camaro."

"Lemons of Love is honored to have Josh and Team Alpha Prime running our Lemons of Love branding next weekend at Circuit of the Americas!” said Jill Swanson Peltier, founder of Lemons of Love. “The Motorsport community has supported our mission and helped us share cancer care packages all over the world!"

"I am super excited to continue our partnership with Josh Bilicki for a fourth consecutive season and to host this event showcasing The BOSS, Josh Bilicki, and Lemons of Love.  The 2022 Xfinity season started off with a bang for Josh and we are confident he will carry that momentum into COTA." Richard Bell, Founder of The BOSS.

The road course veteran will be joined by teammate Sage Karam at COTA next week. Weekend coverage will begin on Friday March 25th with practice and qualifying. The race coverage of the Pit Boss 250 will begin at 4:30PM EST on FS1.

About The BOSS:
The Builder's Outlet Super Store joins Bilicki for a fourth consecutive season. With four locations across Texas and Oklahoma, The BOSS is the go-to destination for flooring pros, remodeling companies, real estate investors and fencing contractors wanting the best products and pricing for their projects. The BOSS Austin, TX Owner / Operator, Winn Lewis, offers that same pro experience to homeowners and DIY’ers as well by stocking first quality flooring and fencing products that beat the big box stores. With a dedication to service and selection, this makes The BOSS Austin’s first choice for flooring, fencing and more.  https://shoptheboss.com/
 
About Lemons of Love:
Lemons of Love, a 501c3 nonprofit organization, was created in 2014 when founder Jill Swanson Peltier was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer. As she began chemotherapy, a friend gave Jill a small goodie bag filled with items to help her through treatment. Touched by the kindness and thoughtfulness of this gift, she knew this was something every cancer patient should receive. Jill envisioned giving others the same kind of love and support with a simple gift that makes a big impact. Today, Lemons of Love shares chemo care packages with cancer patients around the world and provides programming at its Lemons of Love Cancer Resource Center in Mt. Prospect, Illinois. http://www.lemonsoflove.org/

​Alpha Prime Racing 

Picture
CHARLOTTE, NC (January 27, 2022) Alpha Prime Racing announced that Josh Bilicki will join the organization’s NASCAR Xfinity Series driver lineup for select starts in 2022 as the team competes with two full-time entries.

Bilicki, 26, is no stranger to speed – having over 21 years of experience across many different series. Josh ignited his passion for racing at the age of four at Badger Kart Club in Dousman, WI. Since then, he has competed in all three NASCAR series and made his Xfinity Series debut at Road America in 2016. 

The Wisconsin native has an impressive list of racing achievements earned throughout his career especially at road courses. He will be competing in four of the six road course events as well as two ovals in the No. 44 Chevrolet Camaro for Alpha Prime Racing. Bilicki is also hoping to crossover the skills gained into his 2022 NASCAR Cup Series program. 

“I’m incredibly excited to join Alpha Prime Racing for multiple races throughout the 2022 season, as I truly believe this will compliment my Cup program with Spire Motorsports.  I’ve always looked forward to racing the road courses in the NASCAR Xfinity Series because I truly believe that we can score an upset win, much like Jeremy Clements in 2017 at Road America,” said Bilicki. “In addition to the road courses, we have several ovals on our schedule at some of my favorite tracks.”

“Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of Insurance King and the rest of our great partners.  Insurance King has had my back since 2019 and has stuck around through rough times and good times.  We’re ready to get to work!”

Bilicki will be running most of his scheduled events with Insurance King as the primary sponsor.

Bilicki is tapped in to race six events with Alpha Prime Racing, beginning with Circuit of The Americas (COTA) on March 26th. 

“Josh is one of the most underrated drivers in NASCAR. He’s done a great job the last few years on underfunded teams - something I know a whole lot about,” said Tommy Joe Martins, Co-owner of Alpha Prime Racing. “At road courses, he’s flat out a top-level driver, so his schedule with Alpha Prime Racing should be a perfect fit to showcase his talent. We’re very excited to have him.”

Bilicki is part of a revered fraternity of Wisconsin-bred racers who went on to compete at NASCAR’s highest level, including the late Alan Kulwicki and Dick Trickle, Ted Musgrave and 2003 NCS Champion Matt Kenseth. Bilicki comes to Spire Motorsports after competing full time on NASCAR’s senior circuit last season with Rick Ware Racing.

“I couldn’t be more eager to start this new chapter of my career and join Spire Motorsports for the 2022 season,” said Bilicki. “I learned a great amount last year during my first full-time season in the NASCAR Cup Series, on and off the track, and I feel that experience will help me make this transition to a new team. Spire Motorsports has taken big leaps over the last few years, and we feel the platform of the new NextGen car will improve our performance all around.”

“Of course, none of this would be possible if it weren’t for all my great partners, family, and friends who believe in me and pushed me to achieve more. For 2022, Zeigler Auto Group stepped up and that organization is the core reason I am back in the Cup Series. This is something we are working to grow into a multi-year effort.”

Insurance King was founded in Rockford, IL in 2001 and has helped drivers drive legal for less ever since. With policies in multiple states, such as: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin, their claim to fame is cheap car insurance.  Among their many services, Insurance King offer motorcycle insurance, SR-22 insurance, SR-50’s, FR Bonds, and renters insurance. 

"20 years ago I started Insurance King to help people save on car insurance, because I myself was paying several hundred dollars per month due to a bad car accident from when I was 19 years old," says Dan Block, Founder and President of Insurance King. "I found several regional insurance companies that were more affordable than national companies.  We have helped thousands of people over the past 20 years obtain affordable car insurance and SR-22s and look forward to becoming one of the first nationwide insurance agencies over the next 20 years."

"To have Insurance King's support for the last three years has meant the world to me," says Bilicki.  "Dan and his employees are more than just a partner of ours and it has been amazing to see their business grow over the years.  This twenty year anniversary scheme is personally one of my favorites and I look forward to having a strong run with it at the Roval!"

Chesterfield Auto Parts Partners with Bilicki at Richmond Raceway: Will Honor Fallen First Responders from 9/11. 

Picture
Mooresville, NC (8/31/2021) - Josh Bilicki and Rick Ware Racing announced today that Chesterfield Auto Parts will partner with the team at the NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway on September 11th, 2021.  With the race falling on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Bilicki and his new partner will honor and remember the first responders who lost their lives on that tragic day with a paint scheme that is based off of the the Richmond, Virginia fire truck's design.
​Chesterfield Auto Parts is a locally owned Auto recycling business that has been in Richmond for nearly 75 years. As the third generation owner, Troy Webber is proud to keep up his family’s long tradition of helping the community by working closely with the Richmond City Fire Department to help train new firefighters and practice vehicle extrication techniques.     
 
“Although I was very young when 9/11 took place, I remember the day pretty clearly,” says Bilicki. “We partnered with Chesterfield Auto Parts and wanted to do something special for this race because it falls on the 20th anniversary of that tragic day, so we are making the car look like a fire truck to honor and remember the first responders who lost their lives that day.  Additionally, we will be auctioning off our Chesterfield Auto Parts race suit from the Richmond race and giving all proceeds to a the Richmond Fire Department Foundation.”
 
“Like most American’s, I watched the events of 9/11 in horror,” says Troy Webber, President of Chesterfield Auto Parts.  “I knew life and the world as I knew it would never be the same again. That day 20 years ago had a huge impact on me, and I am glad for the chance to partner with Josh and honor the legacy of the fallen heroes who lost their lives on 9/11. I am also proud that we can honor the brave men and women of the Richmond City Fire Department who risk their lives every day to keep this city safe.”
 
This will not be the first time that Bilicki has honored first responders with a special paint scheme on his racecar.  At Martinsville in October of 2020, Bilicki and his sponsor, Insurance King, wrapped their car to look like a police car to honor and remember the police officers who lost their lives in 2020. 
 
“With so much negativity and hate in this world, we often forget that first responders often risk their lives for us, and some even pay the ultimate sacrifice” says Bilicki. “This is just us using our platform to show our appreciation.  Thank you.”
 
The NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway will take place on Saturday, September 11th at 6:30PM ET and will be televised live on NBCSN.
