Nascar Nationwide Series team Pastrana-Waltrip Racing has announced that Boost Mobile will serve as the primary sponsor on Travis Pastrana's No. 99 Toyota in seven Nationwide Series races in 2011.

While financial details of the deal were not available, well-placed industry experts have estimated the company's sponsorship of the multiple X-Games gold medalist to be worth US$2 million.

"To announce this partnership in November and have a sponsor this soon is really gratifying, and we certainly appreciate Boost's support," Pastrana said. "Having worked with Boost in the past and knowing what an innovative brand it is, I am excited to see what we can do together this year. To see this many people here tonight is quite a testament to the interest everyone has in what we plan to do in Nascar. I'm ready to get started. We've tested, but nothing compares to racing and I'm really looking forward to that."

The supercross, motocross and rally legend will make his Nascar Nationwide Series debut on 30th July at Lucas Oil Raceway.
