Ruedebusch Development & Construction and Fire Department Coffee are set to partner with NASCAR driver Josh Bilicki at one of the most anticipated events of the 2026 season. The companies will share primary sponsorship of Bilicki’s No. 07 Chevrolet at the inaugural NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race held at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego on Saturday, June 20.
Ruedebusch, a Wisconsin-based construction company, joins forces with Fire Department Coffee, a veteran-owned and firefighter-run coffee company dedicated to supporting first responders nationwide, for NASCAR’s first-ever race on an active United States military base. The unique partnership aligns naturally with the historic event, which will honor the U.S. Navy’s 250th anniversary.
“This race is going to be unlike anything our sport has ever seen, and I’m incredibly excited for it,” said Bilicki. “Both Ruedebusch and Fire Department Coffee are built around important values, hard work, and giving back to their communities, so having them involved in NASCAR’s first race on an active military base makes this partnership especially meaningful.”
The NASCAR San Diego weekend is expected to draw significant national attention as all three of NASCAR’s national touring series compete on the temporary circuit constructed on Naval Base Coronado.
“As a Navy veteran, I could not be more excited for Fire Department Coffee to be part of this incredible event,” FDC Founder and CEO Luke Schneider said. “It’s even more special to be represented alongside Ruedebusch and to have Josh Bilicki behind the wheel. This will be a wonderful celebration of NASCAR and the U.S. Navy.”
“We are pleased to be partnering with a long time Sponsor of ours, Fire Department Coffee, and a new Partnership with Josh Bilicki Racing, knowing that the results will be outstanding.” says Carl Ruedebusch, CEO and founder of Ruedebusch.
The inaugural NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Naval Base Coronado will take place on Saturday, June 20, and will be broadcast live on The CW.
