DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., (Feb. 22, 2012) – If there’s anyone who’s just a kid at heart, it’s Tony Stewart.

That’s why there’s no better driver to help Oreo kick off its 100th birthday celebration than the three-time and reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion.

While Stewart hopes to defend his Sprint Cup title in 2012, there’s one other title he hopes to retain as the season gets underway at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway – the winner of the season-opening NASCAR Nationwide Series race.

Celebrating a win right out of the box on the Nationwide Series’ biggest stage has become second nature to Stewart. He has six total wins in the DRIVE4COPD 300, including the last four in a row.

Episode “Adrenaline” Airs Tomorrow, Feb. 14 At 8 p.m. ET On ABC;
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.”
