Jay Mohr was the host for the Sprint Cup awards banquet when Jimmie Johnson won his first championship in 2006 and he will return for Johnson’s sixth title celebration as the actor and comedian will serve as the host of the 2013 Sprint Cup Series Awards.

I listened on Sirius.  John did 2 songs- R.O.C.K. in the USA and Pink Houses.  It was a full band performance.  I couldn't turn it up too loud as one of my kids was asleep in the car.  I could've sworn I heard a female back up singer- either that or Mike Wanchic is singing a lot higher than he used too Smiley
