Kaitlyn Vincie, Kevin Harvick's co-host on the Happy Hour podcast, arrived in style at the 2024 NASCAR Awards Banquet. Vincie mesmerized in a semi-sheer black dress as she graced the event in Charlotte on Friday.
Vincie and Harvick host the Happy Hour podcast on FOX. The podcast first aired in February this year following Kevin Harvick's retirement from the NASCAR Cup Series. The former driver won the 2014 Cup Series championship and 60 races, 10th on the all-time list.
In an X (formerly Twitter) post, Kaitlyn Vincie shared her banquet look representing the NASCAR on Fox team.
Vincie fitted a black asymmetrical dress for the glam night, with the other half finished in see-through and a higher hemline. She also sported a slicked-back hairstyle, dangling earrings, and black heels.
The NASCAR Awards Banquet was moved to Charlotte this year after the event was held in Nashville last year. The banquet was also previously held in New York and Las Vegas.
For this year, the man of the hour was Joey Logano as he was honored for winning the NASCAR Cup Series championship.
Logano crossed the checkered flag in P1 at Phoenix Raceway to take the championship crown from Team Penske teammate Ryan Blaney. The No. 22 Ford pilot is now a three-time Cup Series champ, making him the 10th driver to do so.
The event also honored Chase Elliott as this year's National Motorsports Press Association Most Popular Driver Award winner. This means Elliott won the award for seven consecutive years. He is one of the five Cup drivers to earn the award at least five times along with his father Bill Elliott who won 16 times.
In addition, Justin Allgaier and Rajah Caruth won the 2024 Most Popular Driver award in the Xfinity Series and Trucks Series, respectively.
Kevin Harvick airs final podcast episode for 2024 season
With the conclusion of the NASCAR season, Kevin Harvick, along with Happy Hour co-hosts Kaitlyn Vincie and Mamba Smith, aired the final episode of the podcast for this year. The trio discussed the biggest moments of the year including the most viral moment where they picked the Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kyle Busch fight.
The fight happened at the NASCAR All-Star race in North Carolina. Stenhouse Jr. had a physical altercation with Kyle Busch after the race. Harvick recalled the face veteran NASCAR reporter Bob Pockrass made and the swim trunks the No. 47 driver was wearing during the fight.
"The face that Bob wound up making and going viral with and now is just a part of his social media platform," Harvick said [13:19]
He added:
"That moment, it's just one of those moments that was not like any other moment because of the fact that Ricky was locked into the race track and was all waiting behind the hauler in swim trunks."
Harvick, Vincie, and Smith put out 75 episodes for the first season of the Happy Hour podcast. The pilot episode aired in February 2024 where the podcast hosts talked about William Byron's win at the Daytona 500, among other topics.
