Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Driver of the Hyak Motorsports No. 47 Chevrolet, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., has partnered with a popular beer brand co-founded by WWE star Hulk Hogan for this weekend's FireKeepers Casino 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at the Michigan International Speedway. Real American Beer is set to partner with the team for the second time this season, and as a result, the No. 47 car will feature a unique paint scheme dedicated to the premium light beer brand. Stenhouse Jr. comes off the back of a disastrous weekend in Nashville, where Carson Hocevar crashed into him. The impact from the rear caused him to crash into the wall, resulting in a last-place finish in the race. Now, the Hyak Motorsports driver heads to Michigan with renewed energy. Addressing the upcoming race, he said: Ricky Stenhouse Jr., driver of the #47 SUNNYD Chevrolet, walks onstage during driver intros prior to the NASCAR Cup Series All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway on May 18, 2025 in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. Ricky Stenhouse Jr., driver of the #47 SUNNYD Chevrolet, walks onstage during driver intros prior to the NASCAR Cup Series All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway on May 18, 2025 in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina."We didn't get the result we were after in Nashville, and that's frustrating for sure. "But this team's got heart. We've put in the work this week, and we're heading to Michigan with a clean slate and a fast Real American Beer Chevy." Hulk Hogan shared his excitement for the race this weekend. He added: "Brother, Michigan knows how to go full throttle—and so does Real American Beer. We're back on the track, back in the fight, and there's no better time to crack one open and let it rip." Real American Beer CEO Terri Francis revealed the brand's strategy. He said: "Motorsports fans have been some of our loudest supporters from day one. This partnership is part of our strategy to meet them where they are—on the road, in the stands and in the beer aisle." WWE star Jimmy Hart will also be present at the race track in Michigan for Real American Beer. Stenhouse Jr. hinted after the Cup Series race in Nashville that payback was coming to Hocevar after the crash last week. Newsweek Sports reported: "A lap or two before, he [Hocevar] tried to dive in there from about 10 car lengths back and then that time, I just opened my entry a little bit and he over-charged the corner and drilled us in the rear bumper. "I'd say it's not out of the norm from him, but I definitely wasn't expecting that at that point of the race. It's just a bummer for us." He added: "Bummed our day ended like that. Definitely will have something to do about it at one point." Stenhouse Jr. confirmed after the race weekend that Hocevar had not approached him. It remains to be seen whether Stenhouse Jr. will take drastic action in Michigan.
