Kevin Harvick, Kaitlyn Vincie, and Mamba Smith kick off this episode of Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour with a big announcement, revealing a free live show ahead of the Daytona 500 on Thursday, February 12 at the NASCAR Fan Experience Set, featuring the full crew, potential special guests, and live fan Q&A, with the episode airing on YouTube and across podcast feeds for anyone not in Daytona. From there, the crew breaks down a chaotic NASCAR Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium, reacting to Ryan Preece’s emotional win, William Byron’s runner-up speed, the Suárez–Shane van Gisbergen tension after on-track run-ins, Denny Hamlin’s strong finish and comments on wet-weather racing, and the fuel and late-race issues that bit Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott. They also dive into the race’s record 17 cautions, NASCAR’s late refuel decision, weather delays, and what it all revealed about who came out swinging and who left with concerns. The episode closes with Mamba’s Social Sips and burnout grades for Preece.
