Pastrana Hits Wall at History 300

    Travis Pastrana was running well in the History 300 NASCAR race at Charlotte today (Sat) until the last quarter of the race when he went out of control and hit the inside wall hard shortening the front of his car by about 2 feet.  He suffered no injury though because of the safety equipment the drivers are required to wear.
    During the first 3/4 of the race,  Travis was consistently running 16th to 19th among the field of 40 cars.  He had dropped back to 21st just prior to the accident which put him out of the race.
