HARRISBURG, N.C. — Hyak Motorsports has announced a multi-year contract extension with Ricky Stenhouse Jr., keeping the veteran NASCAR Cup Series winner behind the wheel of the No. 47 Chevrolet for the foreseeable future.
The extension continues the organization’s commitment to building long-term stability and competitiveness as Hyak Motorsports continues to grow both on and off the track alongside Stenhouse.
“Ricky has been a huge part of what we’re building at Hyak Motorsports, and we’re proud to continue this partnership for years to come,” said Gordon Smith, owner of Hyak Motorsports. “He brings experience, leadership, and a competitive mindset every weekend, and we believe there’s still a lot ahead for this team with Ricky in the No. 47.”
Stenhouse has delivered consistent performances for Hyak Motorsports throughout his time with the organization, highlighted by winning the 2023 Daytona 500 and 2024 fall race at Talladega Superspeedway. Known as one of the sport’s most aggressive and respected competitors, Stenhouse has helped elevate the No.47 team into a weekly contender.
“I’m thrilled to finally get this contract extension done. It’s something we’ve been working on for a while, and I’m really thankful to everyone at Hyak Motorsports, especially Gordon,” said Stenhouse. “His vision for this race team and the passion he brings to it every single day is special. A lot of people may not know Gordon that well yet, but he truly cares about motorsports, NASCAR, and this No. 47 team, and that shows in everything he does. Along with Gordon, Brad, Mark, Ernie, and everyone at Hyak Motorsports, I feel like we’re continuing to improve week after week. It’s never easy being a single-car team, but the experience we’re gaining and the notebook we’re building is helping us get better and better. More than anything, this team feels like one big family. On and off the racetrack, we’re building something that has me really excited about the future of Hyak Motorsports and what we can accomplish together moving forward.”
This multi-year extension gives Hyak Motorsports continued momentum as the organization looks ahead to the next chapter of growth, competition, and success in the NASCAR Cup Series.
