This was the most eventful pre-race weekend in my career. I called K P and got Flair with him and the King, RP. Both 2 very iconic people idolized by me as a kid from 1975 - today. I have done R&D driver work for the Pettys and now to bring Flair Spirits into NASCAR land. This achievement is one I am proud of, especially since we do not have the big budgets or manufacturer support. Both parties have been a part of my racing growth. Then at the last minute get a call Charlotte Flair wants to be here. Karen McDaniel, Wahoo's wife created the robe and was our guest. Then Rock and roll express Ricky Morton and his wife Andrea Morton being a part.
We had some errors on adjustments during the race and lost some speed, then a mechanical issue on LR forced us to park. We are improving our notebook and hope to have a lot of positives to announce in the near future.

I am excited to be announcing our Daytona 500 plans for 2027 so early in the season. This is the earliest we have ever been able to plan ahead. Having Protection Technologies on board for the season opener is a testament to what Garage 66 is building, without having a charter. We have our show car on display in Orlando tonight and have the potential to carry it to other events over the winter.

We have the very talented Josh Bilicki lined up to get behind the wheel. I am so pleased to have the time to prepare the best car we can put together.

Garage 66 fans should know we have other drivers in our camp also working on Daytona 500 sponsorship, so there is the possibility Garage 66 enters more than one car. Josh could have a teammate!

🚨 2027 NEWS: Josh Bilicki will enter the 69th Daytona 500 with Garage 66 in the No. 66 Protection Technologies (ProtectLLC.us) NASCAR Cup Series car!

Absolutely massive for our organization to be able to announce our first piece of 2027 news so early. Make sure you read the press release linked below for all the details, plus an interesting tidbit from Carl Long as we get ready for Speedweeks 2027. 👀

I grew up watching Ric Flair, The Nature Boy on Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. Their show traveled to my hometown of Roxboro, N.C. and put on an outdoors event at the Optimist baseball park in the 1970s. I have watched Flair go from local hero to national icon. His Flair Spirits Vodka has won many taste awards, beating the premium brands. Now we have to level up Garage 66 to beat the premium teams!

NEWS: 16-time wrestling world champion Ric Flair’s Flair Spirits is jumping into the NASCAR scene this summer by sponsoring Josh Bilicki and Garage 66 in the Bass Pro Shops Bristol Night Race on Saturday, September 19. Wooooo!
