Experienced NASCAR veteran Josh Bilicki has confirmed he will have a fulltime seat driving in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series (formerly the Xfinity Series) in 2026.
The 30-year-old from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin will join SS Greenlight Racing for the entirety of the upcoming season. He will drive the No. 7 Chevrolet.
The move comes after Bilicki - who has well over 200 career starts across Cup Series, Xfinity Series and Truck Series - finished 29th in the 2025 standings as he raced for DGM Racing.
Bilicki now ends his spell with DGM after more than three years with the team, and is excited to be racing fulltime in 2026.
Bilicki joy at getting a new seat for 2026
He revealed: “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.
“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!”

“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.”
The 2026 O’Reilly Auto Parts Series schedule gets under way on February 14 at Daytona, with the United Rentals 300. Champion Jesse Love returns to defend the title he claimed ahead of teen phenom Connor Zilisch in 2025.
