In honor of Real American Beer co-founder, “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan, NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will debut a special decal on his car at Watkins Glen this weekend.
“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 in a statement. “We’ll be giving it everything we’ve got out there.”
This weekend, the No. 47 car will be covered in the classic red, white, and blue colors the beer company formed by the wrestling legend uses on their products. However, Real American Beer and Hyak Motorsports will be taking things a bit further to honor Hogan with a commemorative decal reading “HULKAMANIA Forever.” The tribute will remain for the rest of the season.

Real American Beer is here to carry on Hulk’s legacy,” Real American Beer co-founder Chad Bronstei said in a statement. “We’re grateful to Hyak for helping us honor him and carry his commitment to his fans forward.”
