NASCAR: Josh Bilicki and Rick Ware Racing get Daytona 500 sponsor boost

NASCAR is a costly sport to pursue and sponsorships are essential to keeping a team running. With the 2021 Daytona 500 just around the corner, it is that time of the year when drivers and teams reveal their sponsors and partners for the season. To that end, Josh Bilicki and Rick Ware Racing (RWR) have announced a bevy of sponsors for the season-opening Daytona 500 on Feb 14.

Bilicki, who will pilot the No. 52 Ford Mustang for RWR, will feature Wisconsin Lighting Lab (WiLL) as the primary sponsor. The company is into providing light poles and heavy-duty LED lighting solutions.

A chuffed Bilicki took to social media to share the news with his fans:

I’m very excited to announce my partners for the Daytona 500! @wilightinglab will serve as our primary sponsor, with @Palermos_Pizza and Custom Fiberglass Molding on as secondary sponsors and @insuranceking_ and @junctionfuels as associates.

The No. 52 car will also sport Palermo’s Pizza and Custom Fiberglass Molding as their secondary sponsors.

If that was not all, Bilicki will also have additional partners on the car, including Ditec Marine Products, Insurance King, and Junction Fuels.

Out of those, both Insurance King and Junction Fuels will serve as primary sponsors at some point in the NASCAR season but that is still undecided.

Bilicki happens to be the only Cup driver hailing from Wisconsin and so it comes as no surprise that the majority of his sponsors are Wisconsin-based too.

Only last month, the 25-year-old landed his first full-time ride with RWR in the NASCAR Cup Series 2021 and he could not be happier. In a team release, Bilicki said:

"I could not be more excited and blessed for the opportunity to take the next step in my career and compete full time in the NASCAR Cup Series with Rick Ware Racing in 2021.”

Josh Bilicki has also raced full-time in the Xfinity Series. It will be interesting to see how he uses that experience to deliver on a consistent basis in his first full NASCAR Cup season.
