Hopefully he makes it through press day and Dave and I get to at least see him in afternoon practice!

I freakin' love that kid! I sure hope he can keep the inner Nitro Circus Travis caged up until after the checkers fly.

They just need to use a track design with a huge finish line double for him backflip on. I'm pullin' for him, it's always good to see someone different out there. He's got some pretty insane bike skills too!

I'd like to see a battle between TP and JLaw.That'd be cool.Travis is a goofball but he was a lites champion.The kid is still fast but what's his conditioning like?

I'd be surprised if he has the stamina to stay up front for 20 laps.

His last comeback was mired in fatigue. Hopefully he has learned, and been training for a 20 lap race! I think the kid has a plan for sure! My number 2 son will be there flagging.

I think his best bet is if his mechanic puts a governor on the bike that only lets him ride at 110% instead of 150%. I feel if he can simply complete the race that will be a HUGE accomplishment.

I love to see him ride, I hate to see him crash/get hurt.
