Josh Bilicki is a very skilled road racer, and that set of skills has landed him some additional races on his 2025 racing schedule. The 30-year-old racer will slide behind the wheel of the No. 44 Niece Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado in select NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series events beginning with the inaugural event at Lime Rock Park on June 28.
Additionally, Bilicki will compete for Niece Motorsports in the first-ever NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL in October. As Niece Motorsports continues to evolve its program, the team is elated to have a road racing ace like Bilicki behind the wheel to help them improve their road racing product.
“We are thrilled to welcome a talent like Josh Bilicki to our team for Lime Rock and Charlotte,” said Cody Efaw, CEO of Niece Motorsports in a team release. “His feedback will be invaluable as we try to improve our road course program across the board, as we know he will put in a ton of effort to get the most out of his truck. The No. 44 team has improved significantly this year, and I think rotating these different drivers keeps ideas flowing for us to be successful on a weekly basis. I look forward to seeing what he can do in our equipment.”
The Wisconsin native will have primary sponsorship from his longtime partner, Trim-Tex Drywall Solutions.

The partnership with Trim-Tex has special meaning for Bilicki as he worked in the drywall industry prior to the start of his professional racing career.
“Trim-Tex is the longest-lasting sponsor I’ve had in my career,” continued Bilicki. “I actually used to work at a drywall distribution yard before I raced and sold their products. So, it’s really cool how that relationship blossomed. Joe and I are very close. We race together in a sports car endurance series, and just won Daytona a few weeks ago in a 14-hour race. They have been on my car – starting in Mazda MX-5’s all the way up to NASCAR – since 2011, so it would mean a lot to me to bring him a NASCAR win. We’ve won in the sports car a lot, but never in NASCAR, so that would be very meaningful.”
Bilicki, who has amassed 230 starts in the NASCAR National Series (NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series), is pumped for the opportunity with Niece Motorsports, a nine-time race-winning organization.
“I’m excited to join Niece Motorsports and feel like this is a great opportunity for all of us,” said Bilicki. “I haven’t raced in the Truck Series in a few years now, and the starts I made were for a really small team, so I’m excited to race for a team capable of racing for the win. That’s a goal of mine, and every year, I want to be in equipment that I feel can win. This is an opportunity that we could capitalize on, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we fought for the win in both races.”
Bilicki’s career-best finish in 11 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series starts is 18th, which he achieved at Kansas Speedway in 2019.
