Southern Tier Security, Inc., a leading provider of professional security solutions based in Olean, New York, has joined forces with Josh Bilicki and Garage 66 for the August 10 NASCAR Cup Series event at Watkins Glen.

The company serves western and central New York and is a home-grown company that supplies emergency response services, event management, long-term security solutions, security camera sales/service, and more.

“Partnering with Garage 66 gives us a unique opportunity to connect with NASCAR fans while showcasing our Southern Tier roots on a national stage,” said Jamie Schneider, Director of National Sales at Southern Tier Security. “Watkins Glen is more than just a race – it’s a celebration of speed, community, and American tradition. We’re proud to be a part of it.”

Bilicki will be jumping aboard the No. 66 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for the fifth time this season, after competing in events at Bristol, Charlotte, Chicago, and Indianapolis. The Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin-native scored a 19th-place finish at Chicago during Fourth of July weekend.

“Watkins Glen is one of my favorite tracks on the schedule, and I’m thrilled to be back in the Cup Series with Garage 66,” said Bilicki. “We’ve had strong runs together on road courses this year, and I’m confident that we can build on that momentum. I’m also excited to welcome Southern Tier Security to the team. It’s always special to represent a local company at their home track.”

While the organization has not competed in a NASCAR Cup Series event at Watkins Glen International, the team’s sister operation, MBM Motorsports, has competed in several Xfinity Series events at the road course.

“Josh’s road racing background suits the NextGen platform very well,” said Garage 66 co-owner Carl Long. “Southern Tier Security has jumped on board our car at a great time, as we look to keep the momentum going from Chicago.”

Werner Painting & Services, a full-service painting company dedicated to client satisfaction working in both residential and commercial settings, will serve as an associate sponsor of the No. 66 Ford Mustang Dark Horse at Watkins Glen.

The Go Bowling at The Glen will take place on Sunday, August 10 at 2:00 pm ET on USA Network, Motor Racing Network, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.

Jesse Love returned to the NASCAR Cup Series for his fourth career start for this past Sunday afternoon’s Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and he did so with Beard Motorsports, the team with which he competed at Texas Motor Speedway back in May.

Prior to Sunday, his most recent start had come with Richard Childress Racing, the team with which he competes full-time in the Xfinity Series, when he competed at Kansas Speedway later in May. He made his Cup Series debut with the team at Bristol Motor Speedway in April.

Love finished Sunday’s race around the four-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) Speedway, Indiana oval in 24th place, bettering his previous career-high finish of 29th from the Kansas race.

It was Beard Motorsports’ best finish of the year, as Love crashed out of the race at Texas, and Anthony Alfredo only finished in 28th at Talladega Superspeedway after failing to qualify for the season-opening Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway.

While Love plans to make one more Cup Series start this year, Beard Motorsports do not currently have any more plans to compete in 2025.

Jesse Love, Beard Motorsports not competing at Iowa

Love also will not compete this weekend at Iowa Speedway. He plans to return to Richard Childress Racing to drive the No. 33 Chevrolet for the third time this year in the race at Richmond Raceway two weeks from Saturday.

The only part-time team set to field a non-chartered (open) car this weekend at Iowa is Garage 66. They have entered the No. 66 Ford for Joey Gase, who has not yet competed this year and has not competed for the team since 2019, when they were still known as MBM Motorsports.

In the meantime, Love is looking to bolster his playoff seeding in the Xfinity Series, where he currently finds himself fourth in points despite having been stripped of what would have been his second win of the year at Rockingham Speedway back in April. He won the season opener at Daytona.

As for Beard Motorsports, they are a team that have traditionally competed in superspeedway/drafting races, so although they don’t currently have any more appearances lined up for 2025, don’t be surprised to see them return at some point later this year, possibly for the regular season finale at Daytona later this month or for the playoff race at Talladega in October.

Formula One is turning 75 this year, and there’s a massive, unofficial birthday bash planned later this month during Monterey Car Week. Over 55 of the most emblematic F1 cars built since the series started will participate in the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, including at least 20 that will hit the track.

The roster of cars that will travel to the event reads like a list of F1’s greatest hits. Highlights include a 1956 Maserati 250F that Stirling Moss won the Italian Grand Prix in, a 1962 Porsche 804 that Dan Gurney drove to victory in the French Grand Prix (and that gave Porsche its only F1 win as a constructor), and a 1967 Lotus Type 49 that took first in the Dutch, British, and Watkins Glen races with Jim Clark at the wheel.

Several newer cars will be on hand as well, including the 1983 Williams FW08C that Keke Rosberg won the Monaco Grand Prix in, the 2009 Brawn that Jenson Button won six races and a championship in, and the 2024 McLaren MCL38/02 that Lando Norris won three races in. Seeing such a diverse assortment of highly significant F1 cars at the same venue sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime treat.

And, speaking of Jenson Button, he’ll be on location as the event’s Grand Marshal. He’ll participate in the opening and closing ceremonies, sign autographs, and serve as a guest commentator during the Mario Andretti Trophy race, which will put a group of F1 cars built between 1966 and 1985 back on the track. Button is going to be racing, too: He’ll notably line up on the grid in his 1967 Alfa Romeo GT Junior.

The 2025 edition of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion will run from August 13 to 16.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A North Carolina judge on Thursday issued a temporary restraining order preventing Rick Ware Racing from selling its NASCAR team to T.J. Puchyr as part of an ongoing legal dispute with Jimmie Johnson-owned Legacy Motor Club.

The order remains in place for 10 days and Legacy is required to post a bond of $5 million by end of business Friday. Rick Ware Racing’s attorneys had requested the bond amount be set at $150 million — the agreed purchase price between RWR and Puchyr, one of the founders of Spire Motorsports who now is a consultant to various race teams and sponsors.

Legacy is suing RWR over a dispute stemming from an agreement that Puchyr brokered for Johnson’s race team to purchase one of Ware’s two charters. The dispute is over which charter Ware agreed to sell and if the deal is for 2026 or 2027.

A charter is NASCAR’s version of a franchise tag and guarantees teams entry into every race, plus monetary assurances. Ware currently uses one of his charters to field a full-time car for his son, Cody, and leases a second charter to RFK Racing.

Before he entered into a deal to sell a charter to Legacy, he already had an agreement with RFK to swap the charters currently in play and lease the other one to RFK in 2026. Then, in 2027, Ware planned to sell a charter outright to Legacy, which has a major investment from Knighthead Capital Management, a private equity firm worth over $13 billion.

Legacy requested both a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order, in arguing Ware “has shown a willingness to lie to Legacy and to the Court about the status of the deal,” after Puchyr announced his plans in June to buy RWR’s NASCAR team.

Puchyr had negotiated the charter sale and Ware had previously stated he had no intention of selling or otherwise transferring the charters while the lawsuit was pending.

Mecklenburg Superior Court Judge Clifton Smith issued a verbal order entering a temporary restraining order Thursday that blocks any sale for 10 days. Smith will consider Legacy’s request for a preliminary injunction.

Mark Henriques, counsel for Rick Ware Racing, argued both Ware and Puchyr intend to honor any deals but cannot meet the current terms of the charter purchase for 2026 based on the existing deal to lease a charter to RFK next season. RWR and Puchyr have said the plan is to lease to RFK in 2026 and sell to Legacy in 2027; Legacy says if Ware is selling to Puchyr, the charters contractually should be sold to Legacy.

“What we know is that these promises were made and this backdoor transaction was apparently entered into and is apparently a binding agreement, although not yet closed,” Legacy attorney Keith Forst said. “There is really no harm to defendant whatsoever, and there is tremendous harm to plaintiff Legacy if this closing of these assets in fact happens.”

Ware’s attorney disagreed and argued that Ware is trying to stay in business as a one-car team fielded for his son. Puchyr has made clear he intends to keep Cody Ware in the lineup after he buys the assets from Rick Ware.

“My clients did exactly what they had the freedom to do, work out a deal that meets the needs of the entity, and enter into a binding transaction that covers the entire business and yet keeps Cody racing,” said Henriques. “They’re trying to have their cake and eat it too since they lost the first preliminary injunction.”

Trial is currently scheduled for January, but Legacy has filed a second suit against Puchyr for interfering with its deal with Ware. Legacy has also terminated its consulting agreement with Puchyr.
