Driver Quote: “I love NASCAR, and Las Vegas is always a good time, so I’m really looking forward to this weekend,” said Pastrana. “I’ve actually worked with several of the people on this team in the past. It’s a fun group and we have a good rapport. NASCAR is something that challenges me. I’ve done a lot of work over the past couple of years to try and improve my pavement skills. I’m really excited to be able to get behind the wheel again and see what we can do in the Truck Series.”
