Travis Pastrana Talks About His Return To Supercross
Last Saturday in St. Louis, sometimes it was easy to forget there was a race about to happen with championship implications, as the entire stadium seemed to care about only one thing – the guy on the 199 Suzuki. Travis Pastrana brought his Nitro Circus crew to the Edward Jones Dome, and his pit area was a mob scene before and after the races. And in case you’re wondering, Travis Pastrana is still fast.

We’re used to seeing the top three finishing bikes in the post-race inspection area at the AMA semi, ready to give up fuel samples at the end of a night. But at the conclusion of the racing in San Francisco, we saw the introduction of something new to Supercross…random drug testing.

quite. While training for his 2008 run last January, Jeff woke up one morning in an Arizona retirement village to find his bike stolen. Luckily, his compassionate wife sent him money to buy a brand new bike and he was able to finish his trip in style and come back to have a successful year in 2008. So what brings this funny guy from Canada down to the U.S. to pursuer a GNCC Title? Let’s find out.
