Here's a video of X Games star Travis Pastrana testing his new stock car on New Smyrna's short oval. It was Pastrana's first time on an oval.



After a successful career in the X Games and as a rally driver for Subaru America, Travis Pastrana announced the creation of Pastrana-Waltrip Racing that will field cars in the NASCAR Nationwide Series beginning in 2011.

Initial plans are for Pastrana to compete in seven NASCAR Nationwide races this season and twenty races the following year.

Pastrana-Waltrip Racing will focus on creating programs that expose the action sports world's fans and participants to NASCAR and develop youth marketing initiatives designed to create greater awareness of the sport.
