Granum and Creekside Outdoor Living Partner with Josh Bilicki for NASCAR Return to Chicagoland SpeedwayMooresville, NC (June 18, 2026) – Granum, the leading software platform for the green industry, and Creekside Outdoor Living, a premier landscape design, build, and maintenance company serving Northwest Indiana and the Chicagoland region, today announced a co-primary sponsorship of NASCAR driver Josh Bilicki. Bilicki will carry both brands on the No. 07 SS Green Light Racing Chevrolet during the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday, July 4.
The sponsorship marks a rare moment of national visibility for an industry that powers some of the hardest-working businesses in North America. Landscape and outdoor living professionals build and maintain the spaces people live, gather, and celebrate in, and this July 4th weekend, their names will be on the door of a race car in front of a national audience. "The people in this industry don't get enough credit," said Mark Sedgley, CEO of Granum. "They're out before sunrise, they're running crews, managing customers, building businesses from the ground up — and they do it with a level of pride and craftsmanship that's hard to match anywhere. Putting the Granum name on that car alongside Creekside is our way of saying: this industry deserves to be seen. We're proud to show up for them in a big way on the Fourth of July." Creekside Outdoor Living founder Mike Arnold, a Granum brand ambassador with more than 330,000 followers across social media and one of the most recognized voices in the outdoor living space, will be on-site at Chicagoland Speedway for the event. "Racing and the green industry have more in common than people think," said Arnold. "It's early mornings, hard work, a team you trust, and a real commitment to showing up and performing when it counts. I'm incredibly proud to represent this industry on a national stage — and to do it alongside Granum, a company that genuinely believes in the people doing this work every day." Bilicki, who has competed in NASCAR's top series and brings both competitive experience and regional ties to the Chicago market, echoed the sentiment. "The landscaping and outdoor living industry is built on hard work, craftsmanship, and helping people enjoy where they live," said Bilicki. "Those values align perfectly with auto racing, and I'm proud to carry these brands at Chicagoland on one of the biggest weekends of the summer." The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Chicagoland Speedway will take place on Saturday, July 4, and will be broadcast live on The CW Network.

This will be a wonderful celebration of NASCAR and the U.S. Navy.” “We are pleased to be partnering with a long time Sponsor of ours, Fire Department Coffee, and a new Partnership with Josh Bilicki Racing, knowing that the results will be outstanding.” says Carl Ruedebusch, CEO and founder of Ruedebusch.
