Video: Josh Bilicki Launches After Hitting Curbing in Backstretch Chicane at Roval

Josh Bilicki’s No. 07 car should be sponsored by Jordan Brand at some point, because on lap 28 of Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the Charlotte Roval, Bilicki’s car looked like Jumpman.

Bilicki realized he wasn’t going to get slowed up in time for the turn, and rather than crashing two other drivers that he was running with, Bilicki opted to hit the curbing with the No. 07 SS Greenlight Racing car.

It was bad news for his car.

The hit ripped the splitter and front suspension pieces out from under Bilicki’s car, and it looked like oil was gushing from the car when he got to pit road. Bilicki’s day is over.
