Josh Bilicki has made nearly 250 national NASCAR series starts, but he has not competed full-time since 2021. That changes now as he makes his full-time return to the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.

According to a Saturday announcement, Bilicki will join SS GreenLight Racing for the full 2026 season. He will take over the No. 07 Chevrolet while bringing extensive experience to the organization. SS GreenLight Racing will provide details about partners at a later date.

Bilicki last competed full-time in the secondary NASCAR series in 2018. He drove for JP Motorsports and qualified for 29 of the 33 races on the schedule.

“I’m really grateful for the opportunity to drive for SS Greenlight Racing full-time in 2026 in the newly branded NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series,” says Bilicki. “I’ve driven for SS Greenlight Racing on several occasions in the past and have seen the potential here.

“Having the opportunity to be at the track every weekend creates the consistency needed to move this No. 07 team forward, and I’m excited for that challenge. I’m really thankful to Bobby Dotter and the entire team for this opportunity and look forward to Daytona in a few short months!”

Bilicki has spent the last two seasons primarily competing in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series with DGM Racing. He has made 37 starts — one with SS GreenLight Racing, two with Joe Gibbs Racing, and 34 with DGM Racing. His best finishes have been on road courses based on his past history competing in sports cars series.

Now, the Wisconsin native will provide some stability to the No. 07 Chevrolet as he provides constant feedback throughout the 33-race season. This entry featured several drivers last season, such as Carson Ware and Brad Perez, each of whom had different driving styles and needs.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Josh to SS GreenLight Racing,” said Bobby Dotter, team owner. “He brings experience, professionalism, and a drive to push our program forward. We believe Josh will be a great fit for our team culture and performance goals in 2026.”
