📰 Auto News Pastrana Out At Subaru, Heading To NASCAR

[Mook]

Rally champ and hoon king Travis Pastrana left the Subaru team today to drive for Michael Waltrip's NASCAR team in the Nationwide Series. What, too many right turns in rally?

Here's Pastrana's tale of the tape with Subaru: Four national rally championships, 22 race victories, 40 podium finishes and more than 150 stage wins. He's also set the record for climbing Mt. Washington, jumped his Subaru 269 feet into Long Beach Harbor and can beat you at Big Buck Hunter.

Luring Pastrana to NASCAR counts as a marketing coup for the Daytona Beach crowd, showing that whatever some racing fans may think of carbureted, ugly template cars running in endless lines, NASCAR can still draw the world's best drivers.

this guy is LIVING the fucking life.

[Bob Kazamakis]

[KAR]

Lucky???? Yeah! Talented????? but yeah he is living the life and I wish I had it!!!

 

[Bru]

[Bob Kazamakis]

He needs to get into a stadium/baja truck.

My thoughts exactly

$10 says he jumps the car at one point just to say he did it.
On a side note, he's my hero.... no homo of course.

I don't really see how this is taking the next step for him. Yes, he may make some more money but as far as a challenge or talent goes i'm surprised he didn't start doing 911 cup racing or something like that.

Maybe it will be short lived just to say he did it.

I bet 99% of the people on this forum couldn't come near to the driving talent of a nascar driver. It's not like you just slam your right foot down and hold the wheel slightly askew.

Plus he's a redneck in reality. Montoya seems to be still enjoying it.

Atleast he has a sense of humor about it, no right turn bumper sticker and Im actually looking at it as a publicity for NASCAR to hopefully draw in more fans.

 

[Bru]

Totally. He'll be racing 7 races in 2011, and a full season in 2012 according to the press release. In the Nationwide series.
