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.
