Pastrana announces seven race schedule: Travis Pastrana will make a long-awaited NASCAR Nationwide Series debut in the #99 Boost Mobile Toyota at Richmond International Raceway on April 27. The 11-time X-Games gold medalist and action sports star plans to run seven Nationwide Series races as well as 11 K&N; Pro Series races in 2012. He’ll make his K&N; debut in the season-opening race at Bristol Motor Speedway on March 17. Pastrana expected to make his Nationwide Series debut last season at the July 30th race in Indianapolis. But two nights before the race he broke his right ankle and foot in Los Angeles while attempting a trick called a “TP Roll” which is a 720 on a motorcycle during the Best Trick Competition in the X Games. Pastrana will race under the Pastrana199 Racing banner in 2012. The team will have a technical alliance with Michael Waltrip Racing supplying personnel and equipment. Boost Mobile will sponsor each of the seven Nationwide races while iRacing will serve as the primary sponsor in four K&N; races.(MWR)(2-24-2012)
