Pastrana at MMP

Travis Pastrana, the world-renowned freestyle motocrosser, X-Games legend and rally driver will demonstrate his skills today at Miller Motorsports Park. He will attempt to set records for the longest burnout, longest drift and earned notoriety in two other ways by riding a garbage can being towed by a race car and riding a Big Wheel children’s trike being towed behind a race car. Although Pastrana began in the motocross world, he has become a standout in FMX. Besides winning five out of the last seven X Games Gold Medals, he is also credited with inventing many of the sports’s most demanding tricks and every year continues to elevate the bar for the sport.

Korver delivers coats

The “Korver Karavan” (trucks loaded with coats) will arrive at James R. Russell School at approximately 3:10 p.m., when Korver will make a surprise visit to a group of children and parents at Salt Lake CAP Head Start. Korver will meet with youth and personally present coats before heading to the Utah Dream Center for a similar presentation. Clothing was collected through a coat drive sponsored by Korver and the Utah Jazz on Nov. 7 at the Jazz vs. Oklahoma City game. Fans who donated coats that night were given access to a private postgame autograph session with Korver in exchange for their contributions.
