Hyak Motorsports is using the rest of the Cup Series races this season to celebrate the life of Hulk Hogan, who passed away on July 24 at the age of 71.
According to the Cup Series team, Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s No. 47 Chevrolet Camaro will carry a "HULKAMANIA Forever" decal for the rest of the season. This will begin with this weekend's trip to Watkins Glen International as the four-time Cup Series winner showcases a special scheme.
The No. 47 Chevrolet will once again feature the Real American Beer scheme, which turns the stock car into a high-speed American flag. The scheme also features a can of Real American Beer bearing Hogan's likeness. The former professional wrestler co-founded the light beer company.

"Hulk built Hulkamania and Real American Beer with strength, pride and resilience - for the fans, for their communities, for our country," said Chad Bronstein, co-founder of the beer company.
"Real American Beer is here to carry on Hulk's legacy. We're grateful to Hyak for helping us honor him and carry his commitment to his fans forward."
This weekend, the first with the "HULKAMANIA Forever" decal, will mark the fourth time Stenhouse Jr. has run a Real American Beer scheme.
An early version of the scheme debuted at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the spring. Stenhouse Jr. then debuted the stars and stripes version at Michigan International Speedway. This scheme returned for the trip to Sonoma Raceway.
Real American Beer will now take over the No. 47 Chevrolet once again as Stenhouse Jr. makes his 12th career Cup Series start at Watkins Glen International. The Mississippi native has posted top-20 finishes in eight of these starts. His career-best finish at the New York road course was 13th in 2023.
"We're heading to The Glen this weekend and we're proud to have Real American Beer on the car in honor of Hulk Hogan," Stenhouse Jr. said. "We'll be giving it everything we've got out there."
