Garage 66, formerly known as MBM Motorsports, is teaming up once again with Pure Kick for the third annual NASCAR Cup Series race at the Chicago Street Course this weekend. Josh Bilicki, a skilled road racer, will drive the No. 66 Ford Mustang Dark Horse in the Grant Park 165, showcasing Pure Kick’s new Blood Orange paint scheme that highlights the brand’s boldest flavor.
Pure Kick Continues Growing Presence at Chicago NASCAR Events
This year marks Pure Kick’s third consecutive activation at the Chicago Street Course and its second year sponsoring Bilicki and Garage 66 for the NASCAR Cup Series race. Previously, in 2023, Pure Kick supported Kyle Weatherman and JD Motorsports during the NASCAR Xfinity Series event at the same location.
