Travis Alan Pastrana (born October 8, 1983) is an American professional athlete known for his success across multiple disciplines, includingfreestyle motocross,rally racing,NASCAR, andstunt performance. He rose to prominence in the early 2000s, becoming a multi-timeX Games gold medalist and achieving numerous milestones in freestyle motocross, including being the first to land a double backflip in competition in 2006.[2] Prior to his freestyle career, Pastrana was also a successful motorcycle racer, winning titles in theAMA Motocross andSupercross 125cc divisions in 2000 and 2001, respectively.
Outside of motorcycles, Pastrana is a four-timeRally America champion and has competed inGlobal RallyCross. Pastrana has also made appearances inNASCAR, including stints in theNationwide Series and theTruck Series. In 2022, he became a world champion inClass 1 World Powerboat Championship alongside British offshore powerboat racerSteve Curtis.[3]
In 2003, Pastrana co-foundedNitro Circus, an entertainment brand that produces live shows, television series, and films featuring extreme stunts and action sports performances. Separate from Nitro Circus, Pastrana has participated in several high-profile stunts, including successful recreations of stunts made famous byEvel Knievel.
Pastrana debuted in theAMA Motocross Championship in late 1999.[4] He won the 125cc national title in 2000, making him the youngest to do so at 16 years old.[5] While Pastrana competed in theAMA Supercross Championship 125cc East Coast class in 2000, he fell short in his pursuit of the title. After this, Pastrana moved in withKevin Windham to train for the upcoming racing season. In their downtime, the two would often teach each other freestyle tricks.[6] The training strategy proved successful for Pastrana, who would secure the 125cc East Coast title in 2001.[7] Pastrana competed in the AMA Supercross Championship's 250cc class from 2001 to 2005, with his best season in 2002 where he ranked 16th. He also won the 125cc Rose Creek Invitational, and raced at the 2000Motocross des Nations.
In 2023, Pastrana was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame.[8][9]
Robert Pastrana, Travis' father, is of Colombian descent, but born and raised in Puerto Rico[10] which made Travis directly eligible to represent Puerto Rico in international competition.[11] ThePuerto Rico Motorcycle Association provided him with a license to represent the Territory, which was accepted by theUnión Latinoamericana de Motociclismo, the relevant sanctioning body in Latin America.[12] His debut with the team took place on March 15, 2008. He qualified to the finals by winning the first heat, defeating Erick Vallejo of Mexico. In the finals he finished third, behind local Costa Rican racer Roberto Castro and Vallejo.[12]
In 2018, Pastrana returned to the Motocross of Nations as part of Team Puerto Rico with teammates Kevin Windham and Ryan Sipes in an effort to raise money and awareness followingHurricane Maria in 2017. All three team members eventually made it to the main event, qualifying via the B-final.[13]
At 13 years old, Pastrana was already performing stunts during motocross racing. At age 14, Pastrana competed in and won the World Freestyle Motocross Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada, beginning a winning streak that lasted to 2003.[14] After his gold medal performance at the 1999 X Games, Pastrana clinched the gold at the inauguralGravity Games inRhode Island. Pastrana would ultimately go on to win five gold medals at the Gravity Games during its run from 1999 to 2006.[15]
In 2003, Pastrana opened hisrallying career at theRace of Champions,[18] and began driving for theSubaru-backedVermont SportsCar rally team in 2004.
Starting in 2006, Pastrana was signed by Subaru to lead their newSubaru Rally Team USA, paired with veteran co-driverChristian Edstrom. On August 5, 2006, Pastrana won the gold medal in the first rally car competition at the X Games, beatingColin McRae by 0.53 seconds after McRae rolled his car through the last jump. Later that month, Pastrana and Edstrom won their first victory in theRally America National series at the Ojibwe Forests Rally in Northern Minnesota. The pair would go on to clinch the series overall and open class championship on October 22, 2006, during day one of the Lake Superior Performance Rally, making him the youngest ever American rally champion.[19] That December, Pastrana competed at the2006 Race of Champions at theStade de France in Paris. He represented the United States in the Nations' Cup by himself, after injuries forced teammateJimmie Johnson and his replacementScott Speed to withdraw.[20]
February 19, 2007, brought news that Pastrana's longtime co-driver Edstrom had announced a sabbatical to concentrate on his career and family. Although former McRae co-driverDerek Ringer competed with Pastrana for the 100 Acre Wood Rally in Salem, Missouri and Rally America, he did not announce a permanent co-driver.
In September 2008, Pastrana took part in theColin McRae Forest Stages Rally, a round of theScottish Rally Championship centred inPerth in Scotland. Derek Ringer was his co-driver and they entered in the historicFord Escort RS1600. He was one of a number of celebrity drivers to take part in the event in memory of McRae, who died in 2007.
On August 29, 2009, Pastrana claimed the overall victory at Ojibwe Forests Rally, his fifth of the 2009Rally America season. The victory sealed his fourth consecutive Rally America driver's title, the most in series history.[21]
In 2011, Pastrana began competing in theGlobal RallyCross Championship. The next year, he entered aDodge Dart at five races, but finished only one, with a win at New Hampshire.[22] He also ran part-time with a Dodge Dart in 2013, claiming third-place finish at Las Vegas. Pastrana entered round 2 of the2018 Americas Rallycross Championship at Austin, finishing fourth.
In 2020, Pastrana announced plans to construct Circuit 199, a multi-purpose racing facility, inSudlersville, Maryland. However, the project was shelved due to lawsuits filed by local conservation organizations.[23] Later in the year, he created theNitro Rallycross series as an expansion of the discipline's participation in theNitro World Games.[24] Ahead of the inaugural season in late 2021, he built a test track on a 150-acre lot he purchased near his home.[25] He won two races, which helped him become the 2021 champion as he claimed the tiebreaker over Scott Speed.[26]
In 2024, Pastrana bowed out of the Olympus rally to undergo treatment for prior injuries.[27] Later that year, he confirmed his 10th appearance at the upcoming 2025 Race of Champions in Sydney, Australia.[28]
On December 13, 2006, Subaru Rally Team USA announced plans to enter Pastrana in certainWorld Rally Championship events in 2007, 2008, and 2009.
In the2007 season, he raced threeP-WRC events in theGroup N class, driving aSubaru Impreza WRX STI–based rally car. During March 9–11, 2007, Pastrana competed in his first world rally at the21º Corona Rally México. He finished fifth in the P-WRC (Group N) class (the best in-class finish by an American in a WRC event sinceJohn Buffum finished third in theAcropolis Rally in1988), followed by a tenth place inRally Argentina and an eleventh inRally GB. Pastrana described his season as having gone "horribly".[29]
Pastrana's2008 season in the P-WRC was even less successful, with one retirement following a crash on stage one ofRally Argentina[30] and one thirteenth place on theAcropolis Rally.
Pastrana made his debut inNASCAR competition by driving in the 2011Toyota All-Star Showdown, finishing sixth. Later in the year, he competed in NASCAR driverDenny Hamlin's Short Track Showdown atRichmond International Raceway, finishing 31st after being involved in a crash on lap two.[31] Pastrana later formed a partnership withMichael Waltrip Racing and Gary and Blake Betchel calledPastrana-Waltrip Racing,[32] and in 2011, ran threeK&N Pro Series East starts, with his debut at Richmond in theBlue Ox 100,[33] finishing 33rd.[34] Pastrana's plans to compete in 2011 in theNationwide Series were cancelled as a result of his injuries at the X-Games in July of that year; as a result, his scheduled race atIndianapolis Raceway Park was officially written off as a withdrawal.[35]
In 2012, he planned to run a full season in the Pro Series East and select Nationwide Series races.[36] On April 27, 2012, Pastrana made his Nationwide Series debut, finishing 22nd at theRichmond 250.[37] In his first seven races, driving the No. 99 Toyota Camry forRAB Racing in an association with MWR, Pastrana posted a best finish of 13th in the inauguralIndiana 250; at Richmond in September, he drove for NASCAR powerhouseRoush Fenway Racing in the No. 60 Ford Mustang.[38] He also made one start in theCamping World Truck Series that year forThorSport Racing atLas Vegas Motor Speedway, driving their No. 98 Toyota to a 15th-place finish despite a spin early in the race.
In November 2012, Pastrana was revealed to have arranged a full-season ride for 2013 in the Nationwide Series with Roush Fenway Racing.[39] He drove in the team's No. 60 Ford during the 2013 season, posting four top-ten finishes with a best finish of ninth at Richmond International Raceway. The next race, Pastrana won his first careerpole position atTalladega Superspeedway, with a lap speed of 176.500 miles per hour (284.049 km/h),[40] but was involved in a late crash.[41] Pastrana ended 2013 with four top tens,[41] a pole and a 14th-place points finish, 429 points behind championAustin Dillon.[42]
On November 11, 2013, Pastrana announced via Facebook that he would be leaving NASCAR at the end of the 2013 season, citing a lack of sponsorship, frustration regarding his performance and a desire to spend time with his family as the reasons for his decision;[43] Pastrana wrote:[41]
"I hate to quit and I hate to fail, but sometimes things work out as they should. I've never been able to figure out the finesse required in pavement racing and that is disappointing, but I'm looking forward to driving more rally and racing more off-road trucks and there will be some announcements on those fronts shortly."
However, he left open the possibility of running occasional Truck Series events, and expressed a desire to compete in theDaytona 500.[44] On September 23, 2015, Pastrana announced he would make his comeback to NASCAR, signing a one-race deal withNTS Motorsports to race the No. 31 Chevrolet in the Truck Series race at Las Vegas on October 3.[45] After qualifying 17th, Pastrana finished 16th, two laps behind race winnerJohn Wes Townley.[46] He returned to the Truck Series in 2017, driving the No. 45 Chevrolet forNiece Motorsports at Las Vegas.[47]
In2020, Pastrana returned to NASCAR for the first time in three years, competing for Niece Motorsports again. He drove their No. 40 truck in the second of two races of the doubleheader atKansas. This was also his first Truck Series start that was not at Las Vegas.[48] On September 17, 2020, it was announced that Pastrana would run the Las Vegas race again with Niece. This was also the first time Pastrana made more than one Truck start in a season.[49]
On January 13, 2023,NASCAR Cup Series team23XI Racing tweeted a video teaser announcing that they would field a part-time third car in the2023 Daytona 500. In it, the driver of it is facing away from the camera and wearing a hat.[50] After a Twitter user found an image of Pastrana wearing the exact same hat,[51] Jordan Bianchi fromThe Athletic reported that Pastrana would be the driver of the car.[52] On January 17, it was officially announced that Pastrana would attempt to make the Daytona 500 for 23XI Racing, driving the No. 67 Toyota with sponsorship fromBlack Rifle Coffee Company.[53] On February 14, Pastrana made the entry field by scoring the second fastest lap among the non-chartered teams.[54] During the Daytona 500, Pastrana lead a lap under the first green flag pit cycle by accident. On the final lap, Pastrana was in a position to shoot for a Top 5 before being turned byAric Almirola setting off a multi car crash that ended the race. Pastrana regrouped and came across the line 11th, completing all 212 laps. After the race, Pastrana was asked about his experience and he said he accomplished all his goals for the race. Pastrana also said that he would not attempt another NASCAR Cup Series race.[55][56]
Pastrana expanded his motorsport career into offshore powerboat racing in 2020, joining the Miss GEICO Racing Team to pilot a 47-footcatamaran alongside British racerSteve Curtis. The driving duties were shared with Brit Lilly, son to multi-time Offshore World and National Champion Art Lilly.[57] In 2022, he and Curtis secured theUnion Internationale Motonautique (UIM) Class 1 World Championship title with the Huski Chocolate Racing Team.
In early 2023, Pastrana announced plans to reduce his offshore racing commitments to focus on family and other racing endeavors, following the deaths of both his team manager and fellow motorsports athlete Ken Block.[58] Despite this, he continued to participate selectively, including driving for the Pothole Heroes/Alegra Racing team at the Powerboat P1 Sarasota Grand Prix in July 2023, copiloted by John Tomlinson.[59]
In June 2010, Pastrana entered thePrelude to the Dream charitydirt track race atEldora Speedway in a No. 199 Subaru. After starting 15th, he finished 23rd.[60]
In September 2010, Pastrana set the world record for fastest ascent ofMount Washington in a car, using hisSubaru WRX STi: 6 minutes, 20.47 seconds. In June 2011,David Higgins set a new record for ascent of Mount Washington in a car, at 6 minutes, 11.54 seconds, using the same model vehicle.[61][62] Pastrana retook the record in July 2017, driving his Subaru WRX STi up the mountain with a time of 5 minutes, 44.72 seconds.[63] In August 2021 Pastrana surpassed his July 2017 record by more than 16 seconds with a time of 5 min. 28.67 sec. in his 862 hp “Airslayer” 2020 Subaru WRX STI.[64][65]
Pastrana competed in the2012 24 Hours of Daytona forAF Waltrip, with NASCAR driverMichael Waltrip, Michael Waltrip Racing ownerRob Kauffman, and road racing veteranRui Águas as codrivers.[66] After starting 38th, the team'sFerrari 458 finished 35th overall, 22nd in the GT class.[67]
On October 3, 2014, Pastrana competed in the inaugural Red Bull Straight Rhythm competition, riding in the Open Class on a Suzuki RM-Z 450 with a Honda CR500 engine swap. He dubbed the bike the RM-Zilla. However, Pastrana was eliminated early on in the bracket andJames Stewart Jr. took the overall win.[68]
In February 2024,Legacy Motor Club joinedelectricoff-road racing seriesExtreme E for the2024 season withJimmie Johnson as the lead driver. Pastrana was signed as a substitute for Johnson, who was tied up with2024 Daytona 500 during the weekend, for the first two rounds of the season to partnerGray Leadbetter.[69] The team finished in sixth in Rounds 1 and 2 at the Desert X-Prix while scoring its firstSuper Sector in Round 2.[70][71]
In 2009Nitro Circus, his television show of which he is an executive producer, premiered onMTV. A spinoff of MTV'sJackass, the two shows shared producers,Jeff Tremaine and was partially created byJackass frontmanJohnny Knoxville. It featuresJolene Van Vugt, Erik Roner, Streetbike Tommy, Andy Bell, Jim DeChamp, among others doing dangerous stunts.Jackass' Johnny Knoxville,Bam Margera,Chris Pontius andSteve-O; BMX freestylers,T. J. Lavin andMat Hoffman; and actor,Gary Coleman have guest starred on various episodes.Nitro Circus was also featured in an episode of MTV's Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory and vice versa.
Pastrana debuted inMonster Jam on October 16, 2006, driving the "Pastrana 199"monster truck. Mainly on theUnited States Hot Rod Association (USHRA) circuit, the truck was owned by Live Nation/FELD Motorsports and sponsored by Pastrana. The truck was originally driven by Paul Cohen, then later driven by Chad Tingler, Courtney Jolly and Cam McQueen. During the 2009 World Finals, the "Pastrana 199" truck changed its name to "Nitro Circus". Pastrana himself competed in the freestyle segment of the event, finishing in a three-way tie for 5th place in a field of 24 trucks. In an episode ofNitro Circus, Pastrana unsuccessfully attempted to backflip theNitro Circus-themed monster truck. On February 27, 2010, in Jacksonville, Florida, McQueen successfully executed a backflip in the Nitro Circus monster truck during the freestyle competition, making it the first to do so in competition. The truck made its final appearance and was retired after the 2011 Monster Jam season.
On September 26, 2007, Pastrana jumped out of an airplane overArecibo, Puerto Rico, without a parachute in a carefully choreographed stunt. He met up in midair with another jumper, then latched himself into a harness to make a safe tandem landing. He "got in a lot of trouble" due to its illegality.[72]
On January 1, 2010, Pastrana officially set a new world record in a ramp-to-ramp car jump. He jumped his Subaru rally car off the Pine Street Pier onto a floating barge anchored inLong Beach's Rainbow Harbor, breaking the existing mark of 171 feet (52 m) and establishing a new world distance record of 269 feet (82 m). To celebrate, after getting out of his car, he performed againer from the landing ramp into the harbor below.[73]
Pastrana paid tribute to his role model growing up, legendary daredevil/stuntmanEvel Knievel, by breaking a few of his records. On July 8, 2018, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Pastrana safely cleared three record-breaking jumps, which consisted of 52 cars, 16 buses, and a fountain respectively, for a total of 484 feet (148 m) of jumps in a single night.[74]
The first jump over the cars was at 143 feet (44 m), the second jump over the buses was at 192 feet (59 m), and the third jump over theCaesar's Palace Fountain — a jump that Knievel himself was unable to land in 1967, when he crushed his pelvis and his femur — was at 149 feet (45 m), performed with more elevation. These feats were televised live onHistory.[75]
"I don't remember most of the injuries, there have been too many." – Travis Pastrana[76]
Injuries have often taken Pastrana off the circuit for weeks or months at a time. As of 2006[update], hismedical history included: a dislocated spine; tornACL, PCL, LCL, MCL andmeniscus in his left knee; brokentibia andfibula; two surgeries on his left wrist; one on his left thumb; two on his back; one on his right elbow; nine on his left knee; six on his right knee; and one shoulder surgery.[77] According to a 2019 interview, Pastrana has broken more than 90 bones and has suffered more than 25 concussions.[78]
When Pastrana was 14 years old, he was severely injured while competing in a freestyle motocross competition. He came up short on a jump, landing on the top of the front side of the landing ramp and decelerating from 50 mph (80 km/h) to 0 mph (0 km/h) in less than one second.[citation needed] resulting in his spine separating from his pelvis. It also left him in a wheelchair for three months.[79] "I was in and out of consciousness for about three days and had sixblood transfusions," said Pastrana. He also added that according to doctors, only three people in the U.S. have ever lived after such an injury.[citation needed] It was a long and difficult recovery, though Pastrana would routinely ride wheelies in his wheelchair around the hospital and therapy areas. While in the wheelchair recovering, he vowed to continue motorcycle jumping.[citation needed]
At the2005 Race of Champions, he broke his leg while performing at a motocross exhibition but competed in ROC anyway.[80]
In July 2011, he was injured competing at the X Games when his motorcycle did not rotate to the landing position, crushing his ankle and causing a fracture. However, Pastrana was back in his Subaru Impreza and competing in the Rally Cross final where he overshot the corner, forcing himself into the wall; on-board footage shows his leg in plaster being slammed against the wheel well, much to his discomfort.[81]
In 2022, Pastrana was seriously injured when he broke his pelvisbase jumping in Fort Lauderdale during filming for an internet series.[82][83] At the time of the accident, it was reported that he had broken his pelvis "multiple times" in the past.[84] The accident prevented Pastrana from racing for the United States in the2022 Race of Champions.[85]
