Travis Pastrana will not be participating in the next round of the Nitrocross season due to his recovery from knee surgery. He will be undergoing a knee replacement procedure prior to the event in Calgary, which is the only snow and ice round of the series and the only event outside the United States. However, he is expected to return for the season finale in Las Vegas at the end of March. This will be the second consecutive round that Pastrana has missed in the Group E class, as he also skipped the event at Glen Helen Raceway in December. Despite his absence from Nitrocross, it is unlikely to affect his plans in stage rallying with Subaru Motorsports USA. Pastrana will be competing in the Subaru season opener at Sno*Drift in Atlanta, Michigan alongside co-driver Rhianon Gelsomino. Additionally, Oliver Bennett will be making a return to the field in Calgary after missing the last two events due to a back injury.
