Travis Pastrana.
Ugh. Puh-lease.
From what I hear, one of you just may be right about the Stig’s ID.

I think they’ll get cheap and use Tanner… (I think he can drive.)
Just cuz he’s a good drifter doesn’t make him a good track driver. I haven’t been all that impressed with the Drifting scene at all. Mainly because I grew up in farm country USA, where everyone, including the girl drivers have been drifting around corners from the day they got behind a wheel. With all the icy winter conditions, it’s hard NOT to get er sideways through a lot of corners…and in the summer we just hop on the back roads and do it for fun.
The last actual ticket I got on my motorcycle was when 2 buddies and I were dirt tracking it around the corners in town here on our rice rockets for giggles and laughs.
Sooo, even the most casual driver in the upper states has more real sideways miles under their belt then Jeremy put on his Ford GT before returning it…
If you look closely at the stunt credits for many driving movies, drifters are the ones doing all the non-drifting cool sh…..stuff. While there are exceptions to everything, I bet some of those drifters could out-drive many classically trained racers.
And just cause you can drive your truck sideways in the dirt, doesn’t mean you could stick it sideways on the asphalt just a few inches from your competitor at 50+ mph. I used to say the same thing, but watch a LIVE drifting challenge and tell me you don’t change your mind.
