Hyak Motorsports and Ricky Stenhouse Jr are set to take on Daytona International Speedway this weekend with a brand-new look, as Jack Link’s Duos joins the team as the primary sponsor on the No. 47 Chevrolet.
The bright and bold Jack Link’s Duos scheme will make its on-track debut under the lights in Daytona, one of NASCAR’s most iconic venues. Known for its unpredictable action and close pack racing, Daytona presents a prime opportunity for Stenhouse Jr, who is no stranger to superspeedway success.
“Daytona is always a race that means a lot to me, and I’m excited to head there with Jack Link’s Duos on our car. It’s the kind of place where anything can happen and I feel like our car always has better handling here than others. We’ve done pretty well at superspeedways this year, so I feel good about our chances. Hopefully we can put ourselves in the right position at the end and give Jack Link’s and all of our fans something to cheer about,” said Stenhouse.
The partnership with Jack Link’s Duos highlights Hyak Motorsports’ continued push to bring exciting brands into the NASCAR space. Jack Link’s Duos, known for its innovative meat snack pairings, is a natural fit for the high-intensity world of NASCAR. “Good Luck to Ricky Stenhouse Jr and his team this weekend. We are excited his car will be featuring our NEW Jack Link’s DUOS Jerky,” said Holly LaVallie, SVP of Marketing at Jack Link’s. “Duos are 100% Beef, a great source of real meat protein and the best part is you get two great flavors in one bag! Like, Sasquatch and Yetti, our duos are a perfect pair!”
Stenhouse Jr, who won the Daytona 500 in 2023, will lean on his experience and aggressive drafting style to position the No. 47 team for a strong finish. Daytona’s regular-season finale offers Hyak Motorsports one last chance to make it into the playoffs.
Fans can tune in to NBC this Saturday, August 23, at 7:30pm ET to watch all the action at the Coke Zero Sugar 400. Be sure to follow Hyak Motorsports on social media for live race updates, track content, and exclusive looks at the No. 47 Jack Link’s Duos Chevrolet.
