Subaru Bids Farewell to Travis Pastrana
http://www.rallysportlive.com/2010/1...avis-pastrana/
Subaru of America, Inc. today bid farewell to Travis Pastrana as the company’s lead driver.
Travis began his relationship Subaru in 2004 from the world of supercross and freestyle motorcross and officially joined Subaru Rally Team USA (SRT USA) in 2006 having run abbreviated development seasons with Subaru in 2004-2005. During his career as an SRT USA driver, Travis piloted his Subaru Impreza WRX STI to 150+ stage wins, 40 podiums, and 22 event victories en route to earning four consecutive Rally America National Championship titles (2006-2009) and becoming the youngest-ever U.S. Rally champion in history. Within the ESPN X Games Rally Car Racing format, Travis went on to win two gold, one silver and one bronze medal with Subaru Rally Team USA.
Tim Mahoney, CMO of Subaru of America said, “Travis brought Rally to a whole new audience through the rally championship and of course through his spectacular appearances at X Games. We wholeheartedly thank him for his outstanding performances with Subaru Rally Team USA and wish him well in his future endeavors.”
From some comments on other sites he may drive for NASCAR after this

Re: Subaru Bids Farewell to Travis Pastrana
If you consider the Truck Series NASCAR. I don't think Travis cares about the money (but maybe I'm wrong) I don't think he'll go to NASCAR. I think Ford made him a better offer, just like with Ken Block, and Travis is probably looking to get into the WRC which is something Subaru can't offer him anymore.
