NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Kevin Harvick, the 2014 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Champion, driver of the No. 4 Ford Fusion for Stewart-Haas Racing and one of the sport's most popular drivers, will host the premiere episode of the 2nd season of his SiriusXM NASCAR Radio show, Happy Hours, on Tuesday, February 6th (7:00 p.m. ET).

After the season premiere, Harvick and co-host Matt Yocum will host the second episode of Happy Hours live from Daytona International Speedway on Wednesday, February 14 (7:00 – 9:00 p.m. ET), ahead of the next day's Can-Am Duels and that weekend's Daytona 500.

Thereafter the show will air on Tuesday nights (7:00 – 9:00 p.m. ET). Listeners nationwide can hear the show on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, which is available to listeners on satellite radios (channel 90) and on the SiriusXM app. For a full schedule of Happy Hours air dates visit: www.SiriusXM.com/NASCAR.

Happy Hours features Harvick's distinctive perspective on his sport and life outside the track. Harvick and Yocum regularly 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.

"Having my own show on SiriusXM has brought my relationship with the fans to a whole new level," said Harvick. "I love that I have two hours to completely share my thoughts on the races and our sport, to really give those fans much more than the quick interview or the emotional sound bite they otherwise see or hear at the track on weekends. Happy Hours has created a connection that I had never really experienced before in my career, and I am really excited to get back on the air again this season."

"Kevin had a tremendous 2017 both on the track and with SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, qualifying for the Championship 4 and hosting a fantastic radio program," said Steve Cohen, SiriusXM's SVP of Sports Programming. "His personality, perspective and charisma are perfect for SiriusXM and we are excited for the second season of Happy Hours."

Harvick has 37 career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series victories, including wins in such crown-jewel events as the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway (Fla.), the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (Ind.) and the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway (S.C.). In addition to his impressive performance in the Monster Energy Series, Harvick is a two-time NASCAR Xfinity Series champion with 46 series wins and 14 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victories.
