The Soup's NASCAR Special airs tonight and host Joel McHale thinks he's going to "screw it up."

Why? Because the one-hour special is live!

Joel sat down for an exclusive interview with E! News hosts Maria Menounos and Jason Kennedy to talk about tonight's special "The Soup Invades NASCAR Live From Talladega Superspeedway" and he revealed some serious secrets about the show.

"It was not my idea, I don't have many ideas," Joel joked. "People tell me ideas and I go, 'That's a great idea! We should do that!' But I think I didn't have the idea because I never thought in my wildest dreams that we would be shooting from the infield at the Talladega Superspeedway."

Joel also explained that a bunch of NASCAR drivers will actually be on the show, which will add even more excitement to the special. Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Joey Logano and Danica Patrick are confirmed to appear on the show!

Since the entire show is live, how does Joel think he's going to do?

Joel joked, "It's live, of course I'm going to screw it up!"
