Newsweek Sports reported Hyak Motorsports driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s partnership with Real American beer for the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Notably, the beer brand was co-founded by Hogan. Hogan shared his excitement about the collaboration back then. He said in a statement: "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." Stenhouse Jr. said: "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."
