Josh Bilicki is behind the wheel of this race car for Sunday&#8217;s Grant Park 165 and he showed some unexpected speed during practice and qualifying on Saturday. After posting the 36th-fastest lap (out of 41 drivers) in practice, Bilicki went out and qualified 31st for Sunday&#8217;s race. While that is not mind-blowing speed by any means, that is significantly better than every other effort by the Garage 66 drivers this season. Now, with that being said, Bilicki is still in a back-marker car and that can&#8217;t be overlooked. He finished 28th at the Chicago Street Course in this No. 66 Ford last season and also wound up 29th at the Charlotte Roval. Without major attrition in this weekend&#8217;s race, that&#8217;s about the ceiling you should expect from Bilicki on Sunday as well. &#8212;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/author\/jnmcabee18\" rel=\"noopener\">Jordan McAbee<\/a><br \/>Source: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jayski.com\/nascar-cup-series\/2025-nascar-cup-series-grant-park-165-at-the-chicago-street-course-starting-lineup\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Jayski<\/a>                <\/p>\n<p>        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh Bilicki Shows Unexpected Speed at Chicago Street Course Share: Link copied to clipboard!
