The Road To Victory Lane

Destined for a life that revolved around racing, Dan Pastorini’s father built a 1/10-mile oval for him when he was a boy, so that he and his friends could race their Quarter Midgets. And in high school Pastorini raced his '67 SS Chevelle at the Freemont Drag Strip in California.

Throughout his years as an NFL quarterback for the Houston Oilers, Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles and the Los Angeles Rams, Pastorini developed a passion for winning that he used to set four world boat-racing records, including the eight-second speed barrier on water.

Since his time in the NFL, Pastorini has raced top-fuel dragsters and competed in the Sports Car Club of America, GT1 class. In 2004, he earned a "First in Class" and "30th Overall" at the PCA 48 Hours of Sebring in Florida.

Currently, Pastorini plans to race in the Grand Am Series, and you are invited to join this proven winner in his latest venture. Dan Pastorini is a name that is well known in the sports world and one that has the power to drive your brand, giving your company the recognition it deserves.
