Travis Pastrana is making his NASCAR return — again.
The decorated action sports star announced Thursday via his Instagram that he’s saddling up for another run at a Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series win in Saturday’s e.p.t. 200 at Kansas Speedway (1:30 p.m. ET, FS1). He’ll pilot the No. 40 Niece Motorsports Chevrolet typically driven by Ross Chastain, who will be behind the wheel for the first Gander Trucks race of the weekend on Friday at 7 p.m. ET (FS1).

“I don’t know why; I wasn’t very good at turning left, but I’m going to pull the old NASCAR helmet off the wall,” Pastrana said in his Instagram.
The 11-time X Games-gold medalist raced full time driving the No. 60 Roush Fenway Racing Ford in the Xfinity Series in 2013 and made his last NASCAR national series start in 2017 in a Gander Trucks race at Las Vegas, where he finished 22nd. Pastrana had one pole and four top-10 finishes in his lone full-time Xfinity Series season.
