SiriusXM announced today that
2014 Monster Energy NASCAR Series Champion Kevin Harvick, driver of the No. 4
Ford Fusion for Stewart-Haas Racing and one of the sport’s most popular
drivers, will host a new exclusive show on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, available to
listeners nationwide on satellite radios and the SiriusXM app.
Happy Hours will debut on March 28 and air every
Tuesday from 7:00 to 9:00 pm ET, featuring Harvick’s distinctive perspective on
the sport and life outside the track. Harvick and co-host Matt Yocum will
take calls from listeners and give NASCAR fans a unique view on the driver’s
life and interests when he is away from the race car. In
late May, the show will begin airing every other week.
“I’m excited to partner up with SiriusXM NASCAR Radio and
give the fans an inside look at what it’s like to be a NASCAR driver in today’s
age,” said Kevin Harvick. “It will be fun to give the listeners my opinion on
things that are happening within our sport.”
“Kevin is one of the most exciting drivers on the track,
and an extremely fun-loving person off the track,” said Steve Cohen, SiriusXM’s
SVP of Sports Programming. “That combination of competitiveness
and personality is perfect for SiriusXM. Kevin
and Matt will create a show that is enlightening, entertaining and unlike
anything else on the airwaves.”
Harvick has 35 career NASCAR Cup Series victories,
including wins in such crown-jewel events as the Daytona 500 at Daytona (Fla.)
International Speedway, the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and
the Southern 500 at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway. In addition to his impressive
performance in NASCAR’s Cup series, Harvick is a two-time Xfinity Series
championship with 46 Xfinity Series wins and 14 Truck Series victories.

I can't remember the last time a successful team targeted for a change by one of the manufacturers fell on its face after the change. That SHR is winning with Ford the way it won with Chevrolet is what we should have expected.
ReplyDeleteHarvick is really working his transition to broadcasting after driving days are over. He co-hosted the Xfinity race today, and he's very good at it. The problem with this plan is he's also very good at winning stock car races!
