X Games star Travis Pastrana made his NASCAR racing debut in the Toyota All Star Showdown Saturday night. And what a race he ran. Starting 20th in the 40 car field, he remained mid-pack for over 200 laps avoiding the multitude of accidents that marred the race. He eventually made many clean passes and found himself in the front-pack toward the end of the contest. He eventually finished in sixth place, a remarkable run for his first race. According to Ben Montedonico of Stock Car Spin, Pastrana's driving skills, the exhilaration he exuded after the race in his post-race interview, his positive attitude and "contagious excitement," make Pastrana one to watch down the road. Ben believes Pastrana has a bright future and may be "just what the doctor ordered for NASCAR."
