Team owner Rick Ware had this to say on adding Bilicki to the team in 2021. “I’m excited to have Josh Bilicki on board as a primary driver for the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season. Josh drove for us part-time over the course of the last few years and has always done a great job representing RWR, in and out of the car. I am looking forward to seeing him grow as a driver and bring home some solid finishes this year.”
The 25-year-old from Menomonee Falls, WI, combined to start 34 races for all three of NASCAR’s top three series in 2020. His highest finish was twelfth in the Xfinity Series Daytona Road Course race. Since his debut in 2016, he has made 112 combined starts in all three NASCAR series.
Bilicki commented on becoming a full-time driver for Rick Ware Racing said, “I could not be more excited and blessed for the opportunity to take the next step in my career and compete full time in the NASCAR Cup Series with Rick Ware Racing in 2021. I made my NASCAR Cup Series debut with Rick Ware Racing in 2017, and I have seen firsthand how hard Rick and Lisa have worked to grow this team to what it is today. To be able to call RWR my home in 2021 is a dream come true, and I am excited to continue to further my career and help grow this organization.”
The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season starts on Sunday, February 14th, from Daytona International Speedway at 2:30 pm on FOX.
