NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. plans to honor WWE wrestling legend Hulk Hogan at a race in New York this weekend.
Hogan, 71, passed away after suffering cardiac arrest in his Clearwater, Florida home on July 24.
While WWE fans continue to mourn the animated wrestling star, Stenhouse Jr. is doing his part to honor his memory.
He plans on featuring several special tributes to Hogan etched into his car when he competes in the “Go Bowling at the Glen” Cup Series event at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, New York on Sunday, according to “TMZ.”
Stenhouse Jr., who will be driving the No. 47 Chevrolet for Hyak Motorsports, will be showcasing the red, white, and blue Real American Beer paint job on his ride. His car will also feature a “HULKMANIA Forever” decal with an image of Hogan tearing off his shirt.
On Wednesday, Hyak Motorsports showed off a picture of the decked out No. 47 car on the track on Instgram.
“This one’s for Hulk,” the race team captioned the post.

Why Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is honoring Hulk Hogan at Watkins Glen
This isn’t the first time the NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has honored Hulk Hogan. Before Hogan’s passing, Stenhouse partnered with his Real American Beer brand in June.
On Thursday, the team said they were thrilled to continue its relationship, as the Hulk himself previously said, racing was a “core to the brand’s identity.”
“Hulk built Hulkamania and Real American Beer with strength, pride and resilience — for the fans, for their communities, for our country,” Hogan’s Real American Beer cofounder Chad Bronstein said, according to the outlet. “Real American Beer is here to carry on Hulk’s legacy. We’re grateful to Hyak for helping us honor him and carry his commitment to his fans forward.”
Stenhouse Jr. and the Hulk mobile will hit the track in the colorful car at 2 p.m. ET on Sunday.
