Tony Stewart talks soda cookies and splits DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP)SPOILER ALERT: Stop reading if you believe Tony Stewart is anagile, limber and graceful athlete.That wasn’t Stewart doing Mercurial Vapor X Soccer Shoes split in his new Mobil 1 commercialwith Formula One driver Jenson Button.And he doesn’t actually eat “soda cookies.“The spot, which began airing last month, shows Stewart usingMobil 1 oil to lubricate his hips and legs before sliding into afull split to dunk his cookie in a glass of soda.“Let’s make no mistakes about it – if I got down there, I wouldstill be down there,“ Stewart said Friday at Daytona InternationalSpeedway. “They did not ask me to do that. They had me get down onthe ground for the camera shot, but they had green screens. Theyhad some male gymnast do it, I don’t know who it was, I didn’t wantto be there when Lebron 10 Ruby did it.“Mobil 1 currently has two ads out with Stewart and Button, andthe second one has the drivers comparing their fitness levels withStewart easily riding a stationary bike. Both scripts were asurprise to Stewart when he showed up to film.“It actually was a lot of fun shooting the spots because Inever look at what the spots supposed to be and I get there andI’m starting to read the scripts and it’s saying `Tony is gettingon an exercise bike, he’s doing splits‘ and I’m like `Which Tony isdoing this Is there another Tony‘ “ he said.And the soda cookies were new to three-time NASCAR champion whohas never tried to hide his love of fast food and snacks.“I can’t say that I’ve ever sat down and grabbed a coke andgrabbed Oreos … I’ve ate Oreos and I’ve chased them with coke,but I can’t say that I’ve done a lot of dunking,“ he said. “Itactually was pretty good. I might have started a trend now.“
