Season 1 Overview
Josh Bilicki made his Cardboard Cup Series debut at the Cardboard Raceway, attempting to qualify the #54 Motorsports Equipment Off-Road Chevrolet for Rick Ware Racing. He qualified 7th, which is currently the highest qualifying position for a part-time entry. Luckily for Bilicki, he started the race on the inside, which is the preferred line at the raceway. He fell back throughout the race, but fought hard for every position. Eventually, a yellow flag caused him to restart on the outside lane. Taking the white flag, he battled Matt DiBenedetto all the way to the checkered flag, but would lose out by a small margin. He finished in 15th position.

At Indianapolis, Josh Bilicki would again qualify, albeit 26th. However, Rick Ware Racing did not expect him to qualify, and therefore did not prepare equipment for the race. This forced him to start and park after lap 1, reporting "transmission issues" while finishing 26th.

Josh would attempt and successfully qualify for Talladega. Starting 26th beside his Rick Ware Racing teammate, J.J. Yeley, their strategies were simple; Draft with each other, and work slowly to the front. After a large wreck on the backstretch brought a red flag onto the racetrack, Josh would restart 16th. After switching to the middle line, they would continue to rise positions, until Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Larson were shuffled out of the top line. They would hook up with Larson, and eventually pushed Johnson to the lead. With one lap remaining, they made their moves. Exiting the tri-oval, Josh would push J.J. past both Larson and Johnson. Josh would stay single-file behind his teammate until Reed Sorenson passed Josh in the tri-oval. Josh would finish 3rd, which was his best finish in the Cardboard Cup Series, and the first top-five of any part-time driver.
