Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is staying put. The 2023 Daytona 500 champion has signed a multi-year contract extension with Hyak Motorsports, ensuring he remains behind the wheel of the No. 47 Chevrolet for the foreseeable future.

The extension marks a continued partnership that began in 2020, when Stenhouse joined the team under its previous name, JTG Daugherty Racing. Before that, the Mississippi native spent 11 seasons with RFK Racing, where he established himself as a consistent contender on the NASCAR Cup Series circuit.

For Stenhouse, this deal represents more than just job security—it's a vote of confidence from an organization that has grown alongside him. "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 team owner Gordon Smith. "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."

Since his breakout Daytona 500 victory in 2023, Stenhouse has become a fan favorite known for his aggressive driving style and never-give-up attitude. His ability to navigate the chaos of superspeedway racing has made him a perennial threat at tracks like Daytona and Talladega, where he's often seen mixing it up with the sport's elite.

For fans looking to show their support, the No. 47 car's familiar red, white, and blue scheme—often featuring sponsors like SunnyD and NOS Energy—has become a staple in the garage. Whether you're cheering from the stands or watching from home, having Stenhouse locked in for the long haul means more memorable moments ahead for Hyak Motorsports.
