Travis Pastrana crashes in Daytona 500 overtime, finishes 11th.
Travis Pastrana entered his first-ever Daytona 500 with a few questions to answer. As an"open" entrant, he needed to qualify for one of just four spots in the field to even make the race. Once he did, he had to prove that his season of Xfinity Series racing a decade ago was enough to prepare him for his Cup Series debut on stock car racing's biggest stage. Pastrana accomplished both, then kept his car in the draft long enough to do even more.
It worked. When the race was extended to a first overtime after a single-car crash with 4 laps to go, Pastrana was still on the lead lap. When a multi-car crash wiped out half the remaining cars and led to a second overtime, Pastrana was set to re-start 11th and had a chance to move up to the front with teammate Bubba Wallace.
