Josh Bilicki, a long-time competitor across all three of NASCAR’s National Series, will not be returning to his position as the anchor driver of a DGM Racing entry in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series for 2026.
The organization confirmed Bilicki’s departure on Thursday in a post made to social media, which reads: “Through the years, we’ve shared many ups and downs and created countless memories along the way with [Josh Bilicki] and his partners. We can’t thank them enough for their contributions to our family’s team. Although we hate to see it come to an end, we’ve had a blast and wish Josh the best in the next steps of his racing career.”
Since joining the organization for the first time in February 2022, Bilicki, a native of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, has been a major part of the team’s landscape, running 44 events in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series (formerly known as the NASCAR Xfinity Series).
This past season, Bilicki served as the anchor driver of the No. 91 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, competing in 19 of the series’ 33 events. The 30-year-old driver scored a best finish of 14th twice, at Daytona and Sonoma, and shared the entry with several drivers, including Myatt Snider, CJ McLaughlin, Jesse Iwuji, Andres Perez, Josh Williams, Matt Mills, and Mason Maggio.
“Thank you to DGM Racing and the entire Gosselin family for four great years of working together,” Bilicki said in a social media post. “We shared highs, lows, and plenty of memories that I’ll carry with me. I’m extremely grateful for everything this family-run team has done for my career. While this chapter is coming to a close, I’m excited for what’s ahead in 2026.”
Bilicki has been competing in NASCAR’s second-tier division since the 2016 campaign and has run for several organizations, such as Obaika Racing, JP Motorsports, RSS Racing, Rick Ware Racing, BJ McLeod Motorsports, SS-GreenLight Racing, Alpha Prime Racing, and DGM Racing.
In his 127 starts in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, Bilicki has managed to collect four top-10 finishes, three of which have come behind the wheel of a DGM Racing entry (Daytona 2022, Road America 2023, and Watkins Glen 2024). His only top-10 not with DGM came with Joe Gibbs Racing at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL in 2024.
While the Xfinity Series is where Bilicki has the most experience during his time in NASCAR’s National Series, he has also recorded over 100 starts in the NASCAR Cup Series, with a single top-10 finish, and 13 career starts in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with a pair of top-10s this past year at Lime Rock Park and the Charlotte ROVAL, both with Niece Motorsports.
Neither Bilicki nor DGM Racing has announced their plans for the 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series campaign. DGM Racing currently has no drivers confirmed for 2026, after Ryan Ellis left the team to drive for Young’s Motorsports.
