An Olean company will be represented at this weekend’s NASCAR race at Watkins Glen.

Southern Tier Security’s official logo is set to adorn racer car driver Josh Bilicki’s car as he competes in the NASCAR Cup Series at Garage 66 during next weekend’s race at Watkins Glen International Speedway.

“We’re passionate race fans,” said Michael P. Schneider, chief executive officer and owner of Southern Tier Security. “Sponsoring a race car driver is a fantastic opportunity for our company to promote our brand while giving us an additional reason to attend and enjoy the races.”

Schneider, a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, said NASCAR racing is as American as apple pie, baseball, and supporting the armed forces.

“NASCAR truly has its roots here in the U.S.,” he exclaimed with enthusiasm. “Just like baseball, it’s the embodiment of all-American spirit and passion!”

Schneider presented a concept drawing that prominently displayed Southern Tier Security’s logo as a major hood decoration, along with its logo featured as decals on the wing doors. A Facebook post on the official MBM Motorsports page, dated July 31, revealed the latest design layout of the No. 66 car, complete with Southern Tier Security logos.

Bilicki, born in Wisconsin in 1995, started racing go-karts at the age of four. He achieved numerous victories in various karting classes and reached the top level of shifter karts by 13. At 15, he transitioned to full-size racecars, competing at an amateur level for four years before making his professional debut in IMSA in 2015. In 2016, Bilicki debuted in NASCAR at his home track, Road America. Since then, he has participated in over 200 NASCAR races, including the Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600, and Southern 500. In addition to his NASCAR schedule, he often races dirt sprint cars, dirt midgets, and road racing cars.

“Bilicki is a perfect candidate for our company to sponsor,” said Schneider. “He possesses many great qualities and is an exceptional driver.”

Sunday’s race begins at 2 p.m.
