TRAVIS PASTRANA QUOTE: "Anytime I can get laps on the race track is a plus. We didn't qualify so well so I had to start pretty deep in the field and I was just never able to get through traffic.  We had a pretty good car and I just started following the car in front of me and I followed him into the wall.  I blew my right-front tire and I was forced down pit road.  I would have liked to finish better but right now it's all about track time."
