Alexis Dejoria - NHRA Las Vegas TAFC Preview

Team Patron going all in at Vegas

Las Vegas, NV (October 28, 2009) – Coming off her first win at the recent Division Two event at Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds, GA, Alexis De Joria and the Tequila Patron team have catapulted into the 11th position in national points.

Alexis and the Patron team have found their early season performance, with their first win behind them; they are going into Las Vegas with a lot of momentum. Timing couldn’t be better as Las Vegas is also home to Patron headquarters.

“Winning the division race was great and we have been able to step up our performance at the right time so we are going into the last three races of the year looking to get into the top ten in points says De Joria. We can’t wait to get to Las Vegas and try to win a race for the Patron employees that have been so great to us. It’s been quite a year and without their support we wouldn’t be here so winning a race in their backyard would be cool”.

The Tequila Patron sponsored team will be competing at The Strip in Las Vegas for the next two weekends as the final Division Seven event will be held November 6 – 8.
