QUOTE WORTHY

Pastrana on racing GRC and NASCAR at New Hampshire Motor Speedway:

“Loudon was my favorite course on the GRC circuit last year and I can’t wait to get back out there!  The fans here are awesome and I hope to celebrate with them after the race like we did last year.  As far as the Nationwide Series, I’ve had a very difficult time getting up to speed here so far, but this will be my first time in a Roush Fenway Racing car and I’m looking forward to getting some redemption.  The wall may have won the fight, but I’m still convinced I can win the war.”
