Travis Pastrana is leaving NASCAR after this weekend's season finale Nationwide Series race at Homestead.
Pastrana announced his decision Monday on his Facebook page. He cited a lack of sponsorship and frustration over his struggles in NASCAR as his reasons for leaving the sport.
Pastrana is one of the mostpopular action sports stars in the world and a 17-time medal winner at the X Games. He first tried NASCAR in 2011 and was scheduled to make his Nationwide debut that July until he broke his leg in an X Games accident two days before the race.
It delayed his debut until last season, when Pastrana ran nine races.
He goes into Saturday's finale ranked 14th in the standings.
