.TravisPastrana came away with a solid P11 finish in his DAYTONA500 debut. 🗣️'Anyone that says NASCAR is boring, they’re full of crap. They’ve definitely never been in a car because this was one of the most exciting things I’ve ever done.”
Pastrana started his week on a high note, qualifying on speed and making the Daytona 500. Being locked into the field, he took it easy in the Duels, but still got a piece of a crash that broke out ahead of him.
Pastrana regained control of his race car and made it back to the line, still nearly claiming a top-ten in the end. He finished 11th, and was the second-highest finishing rookie behind Riley Herbst in tenth. “As excited as I am right now, I might sleep for the next week," he admitted."I am mentally and physically completely drained. Even the Truck race, my heart rate was 170 in a three-wide pack. 182 was my high. That’s just on adrenaline. So, anyone that says NASCAR is boring, they’re full of crap. They’ve definitely never been in a car because this was one of the most exciting things I’ve ever done.
