Watch: Travis Pastrana chats to Bec from Hauraki Days

For the first time ever, the Race of Champions is coming to New Zealand, with Wellington set to host some of the biggest names in motorsport this January.

Among them is Travis Pastrana, a man who's made a career out of pushing the limits. From freestyle motocross and X Games gold medals to rally championships, NASCAR and founding Nitro Circus, there's not much he hasn't had a crack at.

He's no stranger to New Zealand either, and Bec caught up with him ahead of his return for what promises to be a pretty spectacular event.
