History

In February 2005, the Fuze Beverage company launched the beverage. The name "NOS" was licensed from Holley Performance Products, which manufactures the Nitrous Oxide Systems (NOS) brand of automotive nitrous injection systems.[4][5] According to Holley, NOS is the first automotive product to have a consumable food product share its name and logo.[6] In February 2007, Fuze was purchased by the Coca-Cola Company, which transferred the NOS licence to Coca-Cola.[7][8] On June 12, 2015, Coca-Cola announced the transfer of its energy division, including NOS and Full Throttle, to Monster Beverage.[1]

Following Monster's acquisition of Coca-Cola's energy beverage products, and a corporate decision to realign the Busch Brothers, both of whom are affiliated with Monster Beverage, Kyle was aligned with NOS Energy in 2016.[9] In the fall of 2016, Monster Beverage released its newest flavor "NOS Rowdy" which was inspired by Busch and his nickname "Rowdy".[10] The sponsorship ended after the 2018 season.[10]
The sponsorship would be switched back to Monster Energy in 2019.
