Allen To Serve As Grand Marshal For Kobalt Tools 400 At Las Vegas Motor Speedway

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 13, 2012) – NASCAR fans are looking forward to watching Tony Stewart defend his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship this season, beginning with the Daytona 500 on Feb. 26 (FOX, 1 p.m. ET). But before he returns to the comfort behind the wheel of his day job, people all across the country can catch a glimpse of Stewart’s acting skills when he appears on the ABC comedy “Last Man Standing” starring Tim Allen, Tuesday, Feb. 14 (8 – 8:30 p.m. ET).

After NASCAR, perhaps a career in Hollywood is in order for the three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion?

“It’s a lot of fun,” said Stewart when referencing his appearance on the hit sit-com. “This is something that obviously is a little bit out of our comfort zone because we’re used to being in a uniform in a 3,400-pound stock car, so to come here and do TV is something that is pretty fun. It’s exciting to do something different and get out of that norm a little bit.”

1-Tony Stewart’s Homestead-Miami Clincher
Stewart trailed Carl Edwards by three points entering the 10th and final race in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup™. Both drivers had predicted the championship wouldn’t be decided until the final lap, and they were right. Edwards, who started on the pole, led the most laps while Stewart yo-yoed through the field after fixing damage to the front of his Chevrolet. Amazingly, Stewart took the lead with 36 laps remaining. Edwards, in second place, stayed in full-out pursuit mode until the checkered flag waved, but finished 1.306 seconds behind Stewart. Both drivers scored 2,403 points with the tiebreaker – five wins to one – falling in Stewart’s favor.
