‘Tony Stewart Live’ moves to Monday nights on channel 128

SIRIUS Satellite Radio, the Official Satellite Radio
Partner of NASCAR, announced today that the critically-acclaimed talk
show Tony Stewart Live, hosted by two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
Champion Tony Stewart and veteran broadcaster Matt Yocum, will return
for its second season on SIRIUS NASCAR Radio on Monday, February 4,
2008 (8:00 pm – 10:00 pm ET). The exclusive weekly program moves to
Monday nights from last year’s Tuesday night timeslot.

Tony Stewart Live first debuted January 2, 2007, providing SIRIUS
listeners with the ultimate insider’s perspective on auto racing. The
two-hour show airs exclusively on SIRIUS NASCAR Radio, channel 128,
throughout the season and features Stewart and Yocum taking calls from
listeners, talking with prominent guests and covering the spectrum of
motorsports. The show concluded a successful first season with a
star-studded special broadcast during NASCAR Champions Week in New York
City, as Stewart and Yocum handed out their inaugural “Stewie Awards,”
honoring the best, boldest and funniest moments of the 2007 NASCAR
season.

“It’s
hard to believe we’re already starting our second year on SIRIUS,”
Stewart said. “I felt more and more comfortable with each show last
year, as Matt and I learned something new every time we hung up the
headphones. Our second year on the air will be even better. Our rookie
‘stripe’ is officially off. The show is a great way for us to connect
with NASCAR fans, and really, fans of any type of racing. It’s two of
the best spent hours of my week.”

“The first season of Tony
Stewart Live was a huge success and we intend to build on that in
season two,” said Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS’ President, Entertainment
and Sports. “Tony and Matt truly dedicate themselves to presenting our
subscribers with two hours of informative and entertaining radio, week
in and week out, giving NASCAR fans the unique experience of
interacting with one of the sport’s biggest stars.”

Stewart
is a two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion (2002, 2005), one of
only 15 drivers in the history of NASCAR to win multiple Cup Series
titles. In addition to his achievements on the NASCAR circuit, Stewart
is the first and only driver to have won championships in stock cars,
Indy cars and in USAC’s Midget, Sprint and Silver Crown divisions. In
1997, Stewart joined Joe Gibbs Racing, running five NASCAR Nationwide
Series races before a 22-race NASCAR Nationwide Series slate in 1998.
In 1999, Stewart moved to the pinnacle of motorsports – the Sprint Cup
Series. During an extraordinary rookie campaign, Stewart won three
races, was crowned Rookie of the Year and became the first driver to
complete both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca- Cola 600 on the same
day. Currently, Stewart has 32 Sprint Cup wins, 10 poles, 119 top-fives
and 191 top-10s in 320 career starts.

As
the Official Satellite Radio Partner of NASCAR, SIRIUS broadcasts every
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Craftsman
Truck Series race live on SIRIUS NASCAR Radio, the only radio channel
dedicated to NASCAR 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
