Josh Bilicki, Southern Tier Security Racing at Watkins Glen with Garage 66

Garage 66 announced on Thursday that Josh Bilicki will field the team’s No 66 NASCAR Cup Series entry in the Go Bowling at the Glen at Watkins Glen International, with support from Southern Tier Security, Inc.

Serving western and central New York, Southern Tier Security supplies emergency response services, event management, long-term security solutions, security camera sales/service and more.

The company will adorn the No. 66 entry for Garage 66’s first NASCAR Cup Series attempt at Watkins Glen International.

“Partnering with Garage 66 gives us a unique opportunity to connect with NASCAR fans while showcasing our Southern Tier roots on a national stage,” said Jamie Schneider, Director of National Sales at Southern Tier Security, Inc. “Watkins Glen is more than just a race—it’s a celebration of speed, community, and American tradition. We’re proud to be a part of it.”

Bilicki will be making his fifth appearance in the NASCAR Cup Series at Watkins Glen, and his first since 2023. Last year, Bilicki finished 10th in the NASCAR Xfinity Series event at the upstate New York road course.

“Watkins Glen is one of my favorite tracks on the schedule, and I’m thrilled to be back in the Cup Series with Garage 66,” said Bilicki. “We’ve had strong runs together on road courses this year, and I’m confident we can build on that momentum. I’m also excited to welcome Southern Tier Security to the team. It’s always special to represent a local company at their home track.”

This will be Bilicki’s ninth start with Garage 66 since the start of the 2024 season, and his fourth at a road course.

In his last road course start, Bilicki finished 21st on the Chicago Street Course.

“Josh’s road racing background suits the Next Gen platform very well. Southern Tier Security has jumped onboard our car at a great time, as we look to keep the momentum going from Chicago,” said Carl Long, Garage 66 co-owner.

Werner Painting & Services, based in Rochester, New York, will also serve as an associate sponsor for the event at Watkins Glen.

The NASCAR Cup Series event at Watkins Glen takes place on Sunday, August 10. Live coverage of the event will be at 2 p.m. ET on the USA Network.
