His days as a full-time NASCAR driver may be now behind him. but Travis Pastrana loves the sport too much to walk away from it completely. His focus is turning back toward off-road trucks and rally cars, but he would still like to run a Camping World Truck Series race from time to time. He wouldnt mind starting a K&N Pro Series event every now and then. And one NASCAR race in particular still calls out to him. The biggest one. ‘Id love to race the Daytona 500 one day’ Pastrana said last weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, before his final full-time Nationwide Series start.”It was a decision made over a long term. And still, over the last couple of weeks, I was still asking around, and just seeing what can we piece together. It came down to, OK, youve basically got to go back two levels and well try to piece together something. And instead of being paid to do your day job, if you will, it was – hey, were going to put a lot of money into this and basically take up all of our kids college fund. Or, we can try to keep piecing together small stuff, go back to that, and just have fun with NASCAR. And for me, 30 isnt super old, but Im not 20. Weve got to kind of look a little further.”( NASCAR.com )(11-22-2013) News from November 21, 2013
