Travis Pastrana on Friday’s Race at Daytona: “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Al [Niece], Cody [Efaw] and the Niece Motorsports crew quite a bit since the team was formed. I was looking to be part of as much racing as possible during Daytona Speedweeks this year and couldn’t be happier to have the opportunity to drive their 41 truck with support from WWEX Racing in my first Daytona start in the Truck Series.
Cody was my car chief when I raced Daytona for my first time in the Xfinity Series. We qualified third and
finished 10th, despite being backward across the grass when I crossed the line! We have an amazing team with amazing sponsors like Worldwide Express/WWEX Racing, Black Rifle, Dixxon and Wienerschnitzel. As always, we are approaching the race with optimism that we have the package to put in a great result, while having the most fun of anyone at the track!”
Pastrana at Daytona International Speedway: Pastrana has two NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at Daytona International Speedway, including a 10th-place result in 2013.
The Action Sports legend has five NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series starts to his credit, with his most recent coming at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2020.
Pastrana’s trip to Florida is off to a strong start after winning Feature No. 1 at Volusia Speedway Park in a DIRTcar UMP Modified on Feb. 9.
