Stewart to host radio show from Daytona on Thursday

NEW YORK -- Two-time Cup Series champion Tony Stewart will host a special edition of Tony Stewart Live from the IMAX Theater inside the Daytona 500 Experience at Daytona International Speedway at 6:30 p.m. ET Thursday.

The live broadcast will air on Sirius, available to listeners nationwide on Channel 128 and XM Channel 128 with the "Best of Sirius" programming package.

Fans are welcome to attend the broadcast and will be admitted free of charge. Space is limited. Tickets will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis on Thursday at Guest Services at the Daytona 500 Experience.

Stewart and co-host Matt Yocum will preview the 2010 Daytona 500. They will be joined by special guests and will take questions from the live studio audience.

Scheduled guests on Thursday's program include driver Danica Patrick, who will make her much-anticipated NASCAR debut in the Nationwide Series race on Saturday.

The show will be the first of a series of special editions of Tony Stewart Live that will air on Sirius in 2010. Stewart and Yocum also will host their show from Stewart's Eldora Speedway in Ohio before the Prelude to the Dream race in June, and will host their season-ending "Stewie Awards" broadcast during NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion's Week.
