JOSH BILICKI RETURNS TO DGM RACING |
“It’s great to have Insurance King, who’s been a proud partner of ours since 2019, back on our car this weekend in Atlanta,” says Bilicki. “With the racetrack’s new design, this place races more like a superspeedway. We had such a great run going at Talladega that we wanted to run it back.” The paint scheme on the No. 91 Chevrolet Camaro will feature a very familiar design for Insurance King and Bilicki, but with reversed colors due to this race taking place at night. |
“We’re excited for to see what Josh can do at Atlanta Motor Speedway after his impressive run at Talladega in April,” says Dan Block, president of Insurance King. “Insurance King is recently licensed in the state of Georgia, so Atlanta is an important market for us right now. It will be great to see the No. 91 Insurance King Camaro under the lights and compete for a win.”
The Alsco Uniforms 250 will take place on Saturday, July 8th and will be broadcast live on USA at 8PM ET.

Josh Bilicki Joins DGM Racing
Zeigler Auto Group returns as Bilicki’s anchor sponsor for the 2023 NASCAR season, which will see numerous primary sponsorships across the NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) and the NXS, including his debut with DGM Racing’s No. 91 at Daytona. Carrying the Zeigler Auto Group colors in the opening NXS race at Daytona last year, Bilicki earned a ninth-place finish in his DGM Racing fielded entry, notching his first NXS Top-10 finish.
"Driving for DGM Racing and the Gosselin family at the season opener at Daytona in 2022 and scoring a top-ten finish was a highlight of my year," says Bilicki. "The entire team welcomed me with open arms, and we stayed in touch throughout the 2022 season, even when we were competitors. This felt like a very natural fit for me and my sponsors, and I am hoping to mirror our results next month at Daytona!"
Since his NASCAR debut in 2016, Bilicki has collected 12 Top-20s in 79 NXS starts. In 2021, he completed his first full-time NCS schedule, adding a 10th place finish at the 2021 Coke Zero Sugar 400 to his resumé. Bilicki will also compete in the NCS on a part-time schedule with Live Fast Motorsports this year.
“As we make changes over the off-season and prepare for Daytona, locking in a competitive lineup of drivers for our second full-time entry has been a top priority,” says DGM Racing’s owner, Mario Gosselin. “Josh has grown to be a fierce competitor and has shown continuous success over time. We’ve always enjoyed racing against Josh, and we are extremely excited to welcome him back to DGM Racing so we can pick up where we left off last February!”
Bilicki and DGM Racing will be teaming up for several other races throughout the 2023 season. In addition to Zeigler Auto Group, Insurance King, a fan-favorite sponsor known for their low-cost auto insurance, will also return for its fifth season with Bilicki. Additional races and partners will be announced in the coming weeks, as well as DGM Racing’s full roster for the No. 91.
DGM Racing named Josh Williams as the Driver of the 92 just before the holidays. Williams and Bilicki will hit the track with DGM Racing in the team’s home state to kick off the 2023 season. The Beef. It’s What For Dinner 300 is scheduled to take place Saturday, February 18, at 5:00 p.m. ET. at Daytona International Speedway. The race will be televised live on FS1.

Zeigler Auto Group, Josh Bilicki Team up with Live Fast Motorsports for 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Season
"We had a great season last year with Josh, and we are excited to partner with Live Fast Motorsports for 2023. Having our new team onboard gives us a fresh start on the track with owners that are focused on performing among the best at each race," said Aaron Zeigler, president, and owner.
With midwestern roots across Michigan, Chicago, Indiana, and Wisconsin, Zeigler Auto Group is among the top 1% ranking automotive dealerships across the United States. Tying these roots to Bilicki-a Wisconsin-based driver-is a natural connection to Ohio native Matt Tifft, part owner of Live Fast Motorsports with BJ McLeod. McLeod looks forward to working with Bilicki again, as Bilicki formerly raced with McLeod's NASCAR Xfinity Series team.
Looking forward to 2023, Bilicki will pilot the Zeigler-sponsored No. 78 Camaro at multiple races. A major highlight will be racing at the inaugural NASCAR Cup Series Race at the Chicago Street Course during July fourth weekend. Additionally, the FireKeepers Casino 400 at the Michigan International Speedway on Sunday, August 6, 2023; and the Verizon 200 at the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway the following weekend on the 13th, among other races.
Last year, Bilicki drove the Zeigler.com-sponsored Chevrolet, earning a top-10 finish at Daytona and scoring a top-20 finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Other highlights for Bilicki include a top-10 finish at the 2021 Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona, 72 starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series; nine in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series; plus 71 starts on his NASCAR Cup Series resume. Bilicki is currently the only driver from Wisconsin competing in the NASCAR Cup Series.
"Live Fast Motorsports is thrilled to welcome Josh Bilicki and Zeigler Auto Group to the team in 2023," said co-owner of Live Fast Motorsports, Tifft, and co-owner and driver, McLeod.
"Bilicki and Zeigler Auto Group share a strong relationship and we look forward to teaming up and becoming a part of that for multiple races next season. With Bilicki's great talent behind the wheel and our new ECR motor program, we look forward to continued growth in 2023."
Live Fast Motorsports will now compete under the Chevrolet racing banner after announcing its alliance with ECR engines. By campaigning its new Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 throughout the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season, the N.C-based team joins "the winningest manufacturer in NASCAR." ECR Engines has also earned more than 200 victories, including the 2018 Daytona 500, two Brickyard 400 wins, and championships in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, 24 Hours at Daytona & the 12 Hours at Sebring in the IMSA WeatherTech Series, and NASCAR Gander Outdoor Truck Series.
"I am so happy to have the opportunity to join Live Fast Motorsports for the 2023 season and to once again represent the Zeigler Auto Group. The Zeigler team has become like family to me and I have driven for BJ McLeod in the past in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, so this felt like a very natural fit for all parties. I'm excited and thankful for the opportunity and can't wait to get to work," said Bilicki.
Zeigler's Driving Vision Podcast host Sam D'Arc sat down with Tifft, McLeod, Bilicki, and Zeigler to discuss the new partnership for the upcoming 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Season.
