The moment the U.S. Men’s Hockey team brought the Gaudreau kids onto the ice… that said everything about who these men are.
Champions aren’t just defined by gold medals. They’re defined by heart. By loyalty. By remembering the people who helped build the journey.
In the middle of the biggest celebration, they made space for family. For love. For legacy.
I’m not even ashamed to say I’m crying. That was bigger than hockey. 🇺🇸 ❤️
That’s character. That’s brotherhood. That’s what real men look like.

18th place starter Bill Frye of Greenbriar, Ark. took the lead away from Scott Bloomquist on the 62nd lap and went on to take the $25,000 victory in the HAV-A-TAMPA Dirt Racing Series-sanctioned Sixth Annual HAV-A-TAMPA Shootout event on September 30, 1995 at @DixieRomeSpdwy in Woodstock, Ga. The purse exceeded $140,000 for the event. Going into the event, Scott Bloomquist had already secured the 1995 series title while GRT Race Cars was named the chassis manufacturer of the year.
To open the weekend in preliminary night, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, Tenn. was the fast qualifier of 101 entries with a 15.625 second lap. Heat Race winners included Scott Bloomquist # 18, Jack Boggs # B4, John Gill # 75, Billy Moyer #21, Dale McDowell # 17 and Stan Massey # 22. The B-Main winners were Terry Phillips # 75 and Bill Frye # 66. The Promoters Choice Provisional starters were Clint Smith # 1 and Freddy Smith # 00. In the Isky Racing Cams “Fast Gun” Dash, Rick Aukland of Fargo, N.D. captured the $5,000 victory.
At the drop of the green flag, Bloomquist shot to the outside line of the racing surface and leading the opening circuit with Boggs and Gill in hot pursuit. Early in the race, Rick Aukland, Wendell Wallace and Ronnie Johnson got together with Johnson spinning to the bottom side of the surface. Wallace went pitside to check for damage after he made contact with Bill Frye as well. A few laps later after the restart, Herman Goddard and Johnson made contact and everyone kept going as the race stayed green. Another caution came early in the 100-lapper as Wendell Wallace came to a rest at the top of turn four. Freddy Smith, who had to start at the rear of the field, made his way from the 26th starting spot to mid pack by the middle of the race and wound up finishing a hard-charging fourth. Smith challenged Boggs for third but couldn’t complete the pass of Boggs and held on to finish fourth. After Frye again caught slower traffic with two laps to go, Bloomquist was able to get alongside Frye and try and make the pass but lost some ground in turn two enabling Frye to stretch out the lead to about three car length’s at the checkered flag.
1995 HAV-A-TAMPA Shootout Finish: Bill Frye, Scott Bloomquist, Jack Boggs, Freddy Smith, Stan Massey, Terry Phillips, Ronnie Johnson, Dale McDowell, David Gibson, Rick Aukland, Marshall Green, John Jones, Clint Smith, Johnny Virden, Darrell Lanigan, Skip Arp, Herman Goddard, Randle Chupp, John Gill, Bobby Thomas, Andy Knowles, Johnny Johnson, Rex Richey, Billy Moyer, Mark Martin, Wendell Wallace.
For nearly half a century, Hulk Hogan stood as a living symbol of what this country believes in at its best: strength, optimism, resilience and unity. He believed in people. And he gave them someone to believe in.
When we set out to launch Real American Beer one year ago, it was with Hulk’s vision and mission. He said he believed that Real American Beer and its message to America could leave an even bigger legacy than his wrestling career. It's a simple message and it's written on the can: "America's at its best when united”. Hulk was all in—not just in name, but city by city, store by store, fan by fan. In every market, thousands came to see him. He’d shake every hand. Learn every name. Take every photo. He genuinely wanted to take the time to meet each person and look them in the eye. To make them feel seen.
That was his gift. Not just being larger than life—but making other people feel larger, too.
He believed that our communities are better when we raise a glass together. “One beer at a time,” he’d say. And he meant it.
Today, we lost more than a founder. We lost a legend. A brother. A real American.
But his fighting spirit doesn’t leave us. It lives in every crowd he fired up, every smile he sparked, every story fans tell. It lives in our mission to keep bringing people together. And it lives in this brand—not because it bears his image, but because it bears his heart.
Hulk Hogan gave us a reason to believe. Now it’s on us to carry it forward.
