Kevin Hart’s Muscle Car Crew Joins 2022 SEMA Show

Kevin Hart’s Muscle Car Crew will give the keynote address on the 2022 SEMA Show’s opening day, show organizers announced.

During the on-stage discussion, the comedian and cast of the show will expand on stories from their inaugural television series and what it’s been like to immerse themselves into the car culture, the organization said. Television personality Chris Jacobs will host the interview, scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Nov. 1 at the Paradise Event Center.

“Kevin Hart’s Muscle Car Crew represents SEMA’s membership and the tremendous enthusiasm we all have for this culture,” said Pamela Brown-Matthis, SEMA director of education. “Their story is driven by passion and a deep love for all things automotive. That passion shows through on the screen, and it will come through even more live on stage at the SEMA Show.”

A new component of the 2022 SEMA Show Education Program, five keynote addresses will be held during the week, with each keynote address featuring industry personalities. Speakers will include car enthusiasts, thought leaders, innovators and entertainers who will bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to help elevate and strengthen attendees’ business and personal growth strategies, organizers said.

NFL running back Emmitt Smith, who became a NASCAR Xfinity Series team co-owner last summer, anchors the week as the keynote speaker for Friday, Nov. 4. Other keynotes will be announced at a later date.
