Someone needs to give Nick Bilbee a shot in a USAC drive. I really believe he could hold his own against those guys and run up front in the right car. He's talented.

Nick Bilbee is a bad ass, and his dad gets him rolling. Pretty cool to watch them race together.

Big time family effort with a legit chance to win whenever they show up with any group, doesn’t matter...

They talked about winning the SKM during post race interviews. Maybe it was the previous year(s).

Nick has really good equipment. I believe he drove for Epperson last year? In the season opener at Ocala. Don’t think he ran it much after that but I would love to see him run the USAC trail as well.

Good video, Chuck. How did you like sitting there in the pit stands as opposed to the front stretch? I personally like turn 2 if you can handle the sun until it sets

Nick Bilbee did a heck of a job at Knoxville in the CornBelt Nationals. Saturday night he committed to the top side. He bicycled the car more times than I cared to count getting in to turn 1, twice showing the complete bottom of the car. Somehow he saved it every time and just kept pounding it in there. Great job, and congratulations on the Gaines win.
