Hulk Hogan’s Real American Beer Sponsoring Ricky Stenhouse Jr’s NASCAR Cup Series Car At Las Vegas
Professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan is entering a different kind of ring this weekend as his Real American Beer company sponsors the No. 47 Hyak Motorsports Chevrolet driven by Ricky Stenhouse Jr in the NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
“Real American Beer belongs at the track, brother!” Hogan, said in a news release. “NASCAR and Real American Beer—two real American institutions built on grit, passion, and community. This weekend, we’re rolling into Las Vegas Motor Speedway with No. 47 ready to run wild. Ricky knows what it means to push it to the limit, and there’s no better place for RAB than Las Vegas.”
The light lager launched last year and is brewed in Wisconsin. The company in January announced a sponsorship partnership with the WWE for “Monday Night Raw” and other events.
The paint scheme on Stenhouse’s car features a very red, white and blue design inspired by the Real American Beer can, which features The Hulkster shirtless and waving an American flag.
Stenhouse scored a season high fifth-place finish at Atlanta and is currently 14th in the points standings through the first four races of 2025.

Hogan won’t be the only WWE star with a presence at the Las Vegas race. Chelsea Green, who currently holds the Women’s U.S. Champion and Women’s Tag Team Champion belts, has been announced as the honorary pace car driver for the Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube.
“I am speechless and beyond pumped to attend my first NASCAR race, and to have such a major role in it is something I never expected!” Green said in a release from the track. “From the roar of the engines to the energy of the crowd, this is a whole new level of excitement, and I can’t wait to be part of this incredible experience!”
Green will be back in Las Vegas the weekend of April 19-20 for WrestleMania, which is being held at the city’s Allegiant Stadium.
