PASTRANA QUOTES

PASTRANA ON THE MOVIE: “I am thrilled that our movie is finally coming out in theaters. The Nitro Circus crew put a lot of work into this film. You are going to see some impossible, ridiculous, insane, hysterical and purely awesome stunts. The 3D move will make you feel like you are riding shotgun with the crew. At the end of day, this movie will be epic,”

ON IOWA: “I honestly believe we have a chance to win this weekend. Last time out, we were going for the lead and I just drove it in a little too deep and we finished fourth. Greci (crew chief) always brings me a fast car to the track. I am not going to Iowa blind this weekend. I know what to expect and we can work on handling right off the truck.”
