The Billy Hicks Racing team announced it will make the trek to Senoia Raceway for the FloRacing Night in America series’ season finale and the Freddy Smith Memorial at Cherokee.

The team announced on Facebook, “The Billy Hicks owned #79 will be in action at Senoia Raceway Thursday-Saturday for the Peach State Classic and Sunday at 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙈𝙖𝙢𝙖 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝘼𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 Cherokee Speedway for the Freddy Smith Memorial!”

Of note the team did not reveal who would be behind the wheel. It announced in the middle of last month that Donald McIntosh would no longer be with the team. The team shared on Facebook, ”

As the 2025 season comes to an end for the Billy Hicks Racing team, we’d like to thank Donald McIntosh for all of his hard work and dedication. We over came many obstacles and still were able to win O’reillys Rookie of the Year!”

“NEW news for 2026, both Billy Hicks Racing & Donald McIntosh Racing will be heading in different directions,” the team added. “May the new season bring us both success!”

McIntosh commented to FloRacing explaining the split, “It’s just been a long year. Billy’s done this a long time and we’ve done it a long time together. And it’s just, it’s time for a change. We’ve had a lot of fun and we’ve had success together. We won a couple Ray Cook series and were able to cap off on this. I’m proud to have done it with him and he’s a like a father figure to me really. It’s a step that I’m wanting to take and I’ve been blessed to do it. It’s just time for something else.”

He went on to confirm he has not finalized plans for 2026, “No plans finalized. I’d really love to do this again, but just really trying to see. See what’s out there and what’s next for me.”

While the Billy Hicks team did not announce who would be behind the wheel a number of fans shared who they would like to see including: Cody Overton, Michael Page, Ross Bailes, Jake Green, Casey Roberts, and Chris Fleming.

As far as national prospects Cody Overton and Daulton Wilson are probably the biggest names. Wilson separated from JRR at the end of this season and has found success in the Big Frog car while Overton ended the Outlaws season 8th in points, but his car owner Dave Steine is retiring.

Overton got emotional while talking about his time with Steine during the World of Outlaws Awards Celebration yesterday, “Dave, he’s done everything for me. He’s got me yearning. The man, I just owe him everything. He’s awesome. If I never get to do it again I appreciate everything, Dave. He’s been really good. He’s been like a dad to me. … I hate to get emotional, but the dude’s down way more for me than anybody has ever wanted to do.”
