Pastrana, one of the best "wheeled sports athletes" the world has ever known, was able to check off one more box on his career checklist: racing in the Daytona 500.
In this year's 500, a whopping six rookies entered the event, with only one of them (Noah Gragson) having previously competed in the biggest race of the year.
Forty-one drivers are confirmed to be competing for the 40-car field, with more to come. That could make this one of the more exciting lead-ups to the big race.
