Travis Pastrana is about to make a big jump, just perhaps not the jump you’d expect from him.
The 39-year-old motor sports icon and stunt performer famous for competing with two- and four-wheeled vehicles — his resume includes several X Games medals, along with championships in motocross, supercross, offshore powerboat racing, per the Associated Press, and Nitro RallyCross, a series he created in 2018 and is currently the reigning champ — is about to make his return to NASCAR. And he’s doing it with some help from Michael Jordan’s team.
Pastrana will attempt to qualify this week for Sunday’s Daytona 500, the NASCAR Cup Series’ season opener at Daytona International Speedway, behind the wheel of the No. 67 Toyota for 23XI Racing, which is co-owned by Jordan and Denny Hamlin.
