Josh Bilicki to Race at Talladega Superspeedway This Weekend

Pahokee's Own Josh Bilicki Gears Up for Talladega Superspeedway

Pahokee native and NASCAR driver Josh Bilicki is set to compete this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway, bringing local pride to the national racing stage. Bilicki, a familiar face to many around the Glades, will be behind the wheel of the No. 17 Chevrolet for Team Stange Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series GEICO 500 on Sunday, April 20, 2026.

While the race takes place in Alabama, the community here in Pahokee, nestled along Lake Okeechobee, will undoubtedly be cheering him on. Bilicki has often spoken about his roots in the area, and his continued presence in professional racing is a point of local interest and excitement. Residents can catch the race live on FOX, with coverage beginning at 3:00 PM EST.

This appearance marks another opportunity for Bilicki to showcase his skills on one of NASCAR's most challenging tracks. His participation continues to put Pahokee, the famed Muck City, on the map for racing enthusiasts nationwide.
