Pastrana to miss Nitrocross in Calgary due to knee surgery

Travis Pastrana will miss the next round of the Nitrocross season while he recovers from surgery.

Pastrana is having a knee replacement procedure ahead of the trip to Calgary on February 3-4, the series’ only snow and ice round, and only event outside the United States. He is, however, expected to return for the season finale in Las Vegas at the beginning of March.

“There’s nothing better than ripping a 1000 horsepower machine with huge studs around the ice, but unfortunately my knee finally gave out from a lifetime of fun and I made the decision to get it replaced,” Pastrana told RACER. “I will be back better than ever for Vegas and ready to rock for the 2024-25 Nitrocross season.”
