What's your favorite moment from NASCAR Legend Ray Evernham?

[@victorylane24]

How is Harvick this good at media already? I am so impressed with him this year, he seems like MUCH happier in this line of work!

[@jeffsingleton7820]

Kevin, you did a great job hosting, you have a great voice for it. I always love the Jeff Gordon stories. Thank you to you and Ray. Best of luck

[@FlakJak74]

That was entirely too short. I could listen to these two legends for hours. Good stuff.

[@jasonrussell5613]

Harvick and Dale jr is doing everyone a great service! Yesterday’s history is tomorrow’s knowledge

[@jasonmoyer]

I didn't have "Harvick will be an amazing interview host" on my 2024 list. This is awesome.

[@frankscandura8377]

I was at that Las Vegas race, on a scanner and remember that. Ray was being nice describing how Jeff was on the radio.

[@paxpax23]

Kevin does a good job at the shop. His voice is smooth. His direct is no wiggle. He’s doing a very good job. I just started watching his show a couple weeks ago and then I am very impressed. Keep doing a good job you got this.

[@tjccar24]

This to me the best part of NASCAR and that is the history of the sport!! I'm 53 and was raised in NASCAR because my neighbor was the legend Jr Johnson and as a farm boy I used to be a sweeper and cleaner at the shops to make a few Xtra bucks and I remember all the old stories that was told when I was a young fan and still a die hard NASCAR fan still!! This history that's being told needs to continue to keep the sport alive!!

[@Stapleton42]

Kevin is a great host

[@johnabriggs6044]

I got to watch a cup Race behind the 24 pits back in the earlier 1994 or 1995 in Bristal day race and enjoyed how after Jeff had a wreck that Ray and the Team 24 kept them in the race as Jeff and Rusty were pitted next to each other on the front stretch .

[@xtubby420x]

I would like to see Harvick win another IROC championship when it comes back ;)

[@patricknacion3960]
