In June, NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse teamed up with Real American Beer, which was founded by Hulk Hogan, to feature the brand on his No. 47 car.
The wrestling icon passed away last month at the age of 71 after a battle with heart and other health issues.
Stenhouse, a two-time Xfinity Series champion, has had various brands on his car since Real American Beer was first showcased on June 8 at Michigan International Speedway. However, in honor of Hogan, he is returning to the American flag-themed car.

The car will showcase Stars and Stripes throughout, with an additional touch being added at Watkins Glen International this weekend.
A “HULKAMANIA FOREVER” decal featuring a photo of Hogan tearing his shirt will be added to the car, a photo that has been used in WWE’s tributes.
“Hulk built Hulkamania and Real American Beer with strength, pride, and resilience – for the fans, for their communities, for our country,” said Real American Beer co-founder Chad Bronstein to TMZ Sports. “Real American Beer is here to continue Hulk’s legacy. We are thankful to Hyak Motorsports for helping us honor him and carry on his dedication to his fans.”
Hyak seemed to announce the news earlier this week by sharing a picture of Stenhouse driving the RAB car.
“This one’s for Hulk,” read the Instagram caption.

Hogan was a key figure in the World Wrestling Federation and had numerous achievements in the industry. He founded Real American Beer in 2024, named after his wrestling persona’s entrance music. Additionally, he established Real American Freestyle, a wrestling promotion, in April 2025. Hogan made occasional appearances with the WWE in his later years, with his final appearance being in January 2025 in Los Angeles.
Hogan was set to partner with former pro wrestling executive Eric Bischoff in a new endeavor called Real American Freestyle, aiming to promote freestyle wrestling. He also ventured into politics, supporting President Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention and a rally at Madison Square Garden.
