Josh Sherfick Companies Steps Into the NASCAR Spotlight
Sherfick Companies, a construction and development firm based in Indiana, has taken a major step into motorsports by sponsoring Josh Bilicki for the Brickyard 400. The company’s founder, Michael Sherfick, didn’t hide his excitement about supporting a homegrown event and a driver like Bilicki.
“It’s an incredible honor to be a part of one of the most iconic races in the country, right here in our backyard at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Partnering with Josh Bilicki and the hardworking team at Garage 66 is a perfect alignment of passion, grit, and commitment to excellence—values we live by at Sherfick Companies every day.” – Michael Sherfick
Sherfick’s enthusiasm is more than just corporate speak. A native Hoosier and long-time fan of motorsports, his connection to the Brickyard 400 runs deep. For Bilicki, that kind of sponsor commitment adds both value and energy as he prepares to take on the 2.5-mile oval again.
Josh Bilicki Looks to Build on Chicago Success
The Chicago Street Course gave Garage 66 a moment worth celebrating. Bilicki’s 21st-place finish marked the best result the team has earned since the NextGen car debuted in 2022. With that momentum in hand, the Wisconsin native is focused on improving further at Indy.
“I am excited to be back at the Brickyard with Sherfick Companies and Garage 66. Sherfick has been a great partner, and racing at Indianapolis is always special. We’re looking to build on our momentum from Chicago and put together another strong performance for the team and our partners.” – Josh Bilicki
Bilicki last raced the Brickyard in 2020, bringing the No. 7 car home in 25th. The oval configuration—different from the road course NASCAR used from 2021 to 2023—returns for the second straight year in 2025, a change welcomed by many fans and drivers. For Bilicki, it’s a familiar challenge with new potential.
A Growing Entry List Sparks Fan Debate
The announcement of Bilicki and the No. 66 entry comes amid a flurry of other part-time or open teams preparing for Indianapolis. Fans immediately began tallying potential entries, predicting how deep the field could grow.
“So that means we’ll see the 33, 62, 78 and now the 66. Add another car and we start to see DNQ’s.” – Fan comment
Others clarified that some of those entries, like the 33, are not scheduled to run Indy. Still, the presence of the No. 66 confirmed what many already suspected: the Brickyard field is getting crowded. In a year with no charter expansion and playoff points in tight competition, the growing list of open entries could cause major qualifying drama.
“Honestly all the teams should run open cars. Penske, Spire, Legacy etc. Try and DNQ some of the FRM and 23XI guys. Take points away.” – Fan comment
Whether viewed strategically or competitively, the Bilicki entry adds a layer of intrigue to an already tense race weekend.
Paint Scheme Reaction: Praise with a Suggestion
Bilicki’s Garage 66 ride also turned heads for its paint scheme. The render released alongside the sponsor announcement featured a bold look, but not everyone agreed on the number styling.
“That paint scheme ficks.” – Fan comment
“It’s a nice scheme, but I would’ve made the number white. It doesn’t contrast enough against the background, at least in the rendering.” – Fan comment
Still, the consensus leaned positive. The No. 66 brings with it not just a competitive spirit, but a presence fans are eager to see on track again.
News in Brief: Brickyard Entry for Josh Bilicki with Sherfick Sponsorship
Josh Bilicki will make his third Brickyard 400 start at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, this time with Sherfick Companies as a primary sponsor on the No. 66 Garage 66 Chevrolet. Bilicki recently posted a 21st-place finish in Chicago—Garage 66’s best-ever result in the NextGen era—and looks to carry that momentum to Indy. Fans reacted positively to the paint scheme and debated field size, with the No. 66’s presence signaling possible DNQs. The Brickyard 400 field is shaping up to be both crowded and competitive.
