As NASCAR comes to New York City to cap another exciting season and crown the 2007 NASCAR Series Champions, SIRIUS will provide listeners with access to the week's events, press conferences and parties, including the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Awards Ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York.

On Wednesday, November 28, during NASCAR's "Victory Lap" festivities in New York City's Times Square, SIRIUS will take listeners live inside Tony Stewart's #20 car as the host of the popular weekly SIRIUS NASCAR Radio show Tony Stewart Live and nine other NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series drivers steer their 850 horsepower race cars in a procession around midtown Manhattan. Matt Yocum, Stewart's co-host on Tony Stewart Live, will report live from inside the #20 car as it navigates its way through the Big Apple, giving listeners the unique experience of riding shotgun with a two-time NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series champion.

The live cut-in will be part of SIRIUS NASCAR Radio's The Morning Drive show, hosted by Marty Snider and David Poole. Snider and Poole will broadcast live from the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square from 7:00 - 11:00 am ET Wednesday, where they will interview NASCAR's Chase drivers after they complete their "Victory Lap."
