NOS Energy Drink is continuing its multi-race sponsorship of driver Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. and HYAK Motorsports for the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series campaign, the brand confirmed on Tuesday.
The native of Olive Branch, Mississippi, has been partnered with the popular brand of energy drink since his days in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, winning his second title with them on-board his Roush Fenway Racing (now RFK Racing) entry in 2012.
Let’s get after it!

“Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. embodies everything NOS Energy stands for: speed, precision, and the relentless drive to win,” said Lauren Albano, General Manager of NOS Energy. “Renewing our partnership with Ricky and the No. 47 team keeps us in the fast lane with one of NASCAR’s most determined competitors. Together, we’re ready to get after it this season.”
This weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will mark the beginning of a multi-race sponsorship program for NOS Energy Drink, which will also include events at Bristol Motor Speedway and Iowa Speedway, amongst others.
Last season, NOS Energy Drink served as a four-race sponsor of the No. 47 HYAK Motorsports team, recording a best finish of 12th-place. However, the previous season, when backing the team at Iowa, Stenhouse earned a top-five result.
“I’m really excited to have NOS Energy back with us for the 2026 season,” said Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. “NOS has always brought a ton of energy to our program, and it’s a brand that fits the personality of our team and our fans. The paint scheme always stands out on track, and it’s something we’re proud to represent every time we unload. Having their continued support means a lot, and motivates all of us at HYAK Motorsports to go out there, run up front, and give them strong results throughout the season.”
Following a runner-up finish in the season-opening DAYTONA 500 at Daytona International Speedway, Stenhouse is currently sitting 27th-place in series point standings, after three finishes outside of the top-20, including a DNF and 36th-place finish at EchoPark Speedway.
“We’re proud to continue our partnership with NOS Energy,” said Gordon Smith, principal owner of HYAK Motorsports. “NOS is a brand that fits our team, and we’re looking forward to the 2026 season.”
The Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will take place on Sunday, March 15 at 4:00 PM ET. Coverage of the event will be live on FOX Sports 1, Performance Racing Network, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
