    Travis Pastrana has withdrawn from his Nationwide Series debut race Saturday at Lucas Oil Raceway and has no immediate plans to return to NASCAR after breaking his right foot and ankle during X Games 17.

    Pastrana had withdrawn from the X Games, where he was in line for a gold medal in the Moto X Best Trick before his second attempt at a corked 720 went awry Thursday night in Los Angeles.

    But Pastrana is still on the list for Sunday's RallyCross event in Los Angeles. And, he, his team and the medical staff are in the exploratory stages of determining if he will be competitive -- and safe -- enough to drive.

    Officials at Michael Waltrip Racing, which was fielding a Nationwide car for Pastrana, said they are waiting for a report from doctors before making plans for the driver, whose next scheduled race is Sept. 9 at Richmond.
