Hyak Motorsports is heading to Michigan International Speedway for the FireKeepers Casino 400, bringing the No. 47 Chevrolet into the spotlight. Driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will pilot the car, which is now sponsored primarily by Pylon Aviation, a partnership that underscores a shared focus on precision, performance, and forward momentum.
A Strategic Partnership Takes Shape
Pylon Aviation’s involvement on the No. 47 Chevrolet is more than a branding exercise; it reflects a joint commitment to engineering excellence and race‑day execution. The company’s emphasis on accuracy and reliability aligns with the team’s goal of maximizing speed and consistency on the track.
Michigan International Speedway is renowned for its fast, wide two‑mile layout, where long green‑flag runs and aerodynamic efficiency can make the difference between a top‑ten finish and a mid‑pack result. Teams must balance aggressive drafting with careful fuel and tire strategy to maintain momentum throughout the 400‑mile event.
Stenhouse’s recent fourth‑place finish in Nashville gave the organization a tangible boost, providing valuable data and confidence heading into Michigan. The driver noted that the team has been "working hard" and feels poised to carry that momentum into another solid weekend.
Building Consistency on a Fast Oval
The No. 47 crew has been fine‑tuning setups to optimize track position, a critical factor on Michigan’s expansive frontstretch. By focusing on consistent lap times and minimizing pit‑road errors, the team hopes to translate its recent progress into a competitive run during the FireKeepers Casino 400.
Fans can tune in to Prime this Sunday, June 7, at 3 p.m. ET to watch the race live.

Looking Ahead
As the weekend approaches, the synergy between the driver, the team, and its commercial partners appears stronger than ever. With a clear strategy and a track that rewards speed and precision, Hyak Motorsports is poised to turn its recent momentum into a standout performance at Michigan International Speedway.
