It’s Travis Pastrana, what did you expect? The all-action American hero wanted to explain his absence from this week’s Olympus Rally. What came was never going to be normal. There’s nothing normal about #199. The guy is the closest thing to a living, breathing Superman I’ve ever seen. Which made seeing him on the first two rounds of this year’s ARA just that bit harder.
