CEO Andy Ross to Bring the Party and Perform Between Nitro Qualifying Rounds Saturday
Nashville, TN, Sept. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Rebel Light Beer is proud to announce its high-impact presence at this weekend’s NHRA Midwest Nationals at World Wide Technology Raceway outside St. Louis, Missouri. Fans will see American Rebel Beer’s bold patriotic branding featured on Tony Stewart’s Top Fuel dragster, Matt Hagan’s Funny Car, and John Hall’s Pro Stock Motorcycle roaring down the track in two Friday qualifying sessions, two Saturday qualifying sessions and the elimination rounds on Sunday.
American Rebel’s partnership with Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) has been a driving force behind the brand’s explosive growth obtaining key distribution in 15 states and continuing to expand its footprint across this great country. From national TV exposure to grassroots fan engagement, TSR has helped American Rebel Light connect with millions of consumers who share our values of freedom, grit, and patriotism.
Adding to the excitement, American Rebel CEO and singer/songwriter Andy Ross will take the stage between qualifying rounds 3 and 4 on Saturday, delivering his signature blend of patriotic rock and roll to energize the crowd. Known for anthems that celebrate patriotism, freedom, and the American way, Andy’s performance will be a highlight of the weekend.
“Our brand stands for the American spirit — bold, proud, and unapologetic,” said Andy Ross. “Seeing our paint fly down the track on Tony Stewart, Matt Hagan, and John Hall’s machines while I crank out rebel rock for thousands of fans – that’s what freedom sounds like and what American Rebel is all about. Nothing is better than race day and bringing the party.”
“We always have a fun weekend when Andy Ross from American Rebel is with us. He’s an awesome cheerleader that cares about our teams as much as we do. To have him and the large amount of guests he’s bringing, we’re proud of that,” said Tony Stewart, driver of the American Rebel Beer Dodge//SRT Top Fuel Dragster.
In preparation for St. Louis, Matt Hagan, driver of the American Rebel Beer Dodge//SRT Hellcat Funny Car said, “We have been through some tough explosions the last few weeks, but I know we are ready to put that American Rebel Beer Dodge Hellcat back in the winner’s circle at St. Louis next weekend.”
“We’re proud to stand behind the racers, the fans, and the values that make this sport great,” added Todd Porter, President of American Rebel Beverage. “Having our branding on three incredible competitors and Andy Ross on stage is the perfect way to bring Rebel Light to life in front of thousands of passionate fans.”
This event marks the 17th race of the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series’ 20-race schedule and the third round in the six-race Countdown to the Championship. Tony Stewart enters St. Louis ranked 4th in Top Fuel, just 68 points behind leader Doug Kalitta.
