Notes of Interest

Hyak Motorsports and Ricky Stenhouse Jr return to Talladega Superspeedway this weekend for the YellaWood 500 with Jack Link’s back on the #47 as the primary sponsor. A new paint scheme has been introduced for this weekend as well.

The partnership with Jack Link’s and Hyak Motorsports has quickly become one of the most dynamic collaborations of the season. It’s about connecting fans with the energy and authenticity of both brands. Sasquatch will even be making a guest appearance at the track this weekend.

Stenhouse Jr, who won the YellaWood 500 in 2024, hopes to defend his title this year. "I'm excited to head to Talladega again this weekend with Jack Link's on the car. Last year’s win was huge for our team and it's one of those moments you don't forget.  I'm hoping we can get the #47 back in victory lane this year,” said Stenhouse.

Hyak Motorsports is heavily focused on qualifying efforts this weekend, as well as fuel strategy. It’s important to spend the least amount of time on pit road to maintain track position and defend last year’s win.

Fans can tune in to NBC this Sunday, October 19, at 2pm ET to watch all the action at the YellaWood 500. 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 Chevrolet.
