Summary
Travis Pastrana joins Corey LaJoie and Ryan Flores on Stacking Pennies for one of the wildest conversations we’ve ever had.
Travis talks about jumping a stock Ram truck with Nitro Circus, what it was like trying to break into NASCAR, the story behind the legendary double backflip, why rally driving and stock car racing require completely different skill sets, and what made Ken Block’s Gymkhana legacy so important.
The guys also get into Cleetus McFarland, creator racing, sprint cars, Top Fuel dragsters, Gymkhana Australia, and the one racing memory Travis would keep forever.
From Daytona to X Games to Ken Block to Charlotte Motor Speedway, this one is pure Travis Pastrana chaos.
