QUOTE WORTHY
Pastrana on racing at Atlanta:
“Atlanta is my favorite track on the circuit. I’ve only raced there one time, but I led my first laps there. I really enjoy the older and rougher tracks that wear out tires quickly. It’s a lot of fun to slide the cars around, and this is one of the only tracks you can do this and not lose time at 180 mph.”
