Drivers Josh Bilicki and Ryan Ellis will take the wheel of the No. 97 and No. 77 Vroom Brands Chevrolets in the NASCAR XFINITY Series Ticket Galaxy 200 this Saturday, Nov. 12, at Phoenix International Raceway at 7:30 pm ET.

Saturday’s race will be Bilicki’s second time driving for the Obaika Racing team. He debuted in the NASCAR XFINITY Series in the No. 77 Vroom Brands Chevrolet at Road America, giving Obaika Racing its best qualifying result. The race this weekend will mark Bilicki’s rookie appearance at Phoenix International Speedway.

Of the race, Bilicki says “I’m very excited to make my NASCAR XFINITY Series oval debut with Obaika racing in the No. 97 Vroom Brands Chevy Camaro. We had a great run at Road America and showed lots of potential as a team. It has been several years since my last oval race, so it’s going to be a bit of a learning experience for me, but I feel I am more prepared than ever and will push for a maximum result for the team.”

Ellis returns to Obaika Racing in Phoenix for the ninth time driving for the team.

Obaika Racing is the first African owned Professional Stock Car Racing Team. Currently competing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, and owned by African entrepreneur, Victor Obaika.
