Team Patron looking for a strong finish in Pomona

Pomona, CA (November 9, 2010) – After a roller coaster 14 race season, Alexis De Joria and Team Patron are looking for a strong finish at the infamous Auto Club Raceway in Pomona this weekend. With her Southern California roots, driver Alexis De Joria is excited to be back in her old stomping ground and looking for her first win in the Top Alcohol Funny Car category.

“Our Patron Tequila Team has had another exciting year said De Joria, we started the season with a whole new engine combination that we have continued to improve upon throughout the season. Nick Bastiao and the entire Patron Tequila crew have done an awesome job getting our Mustang to be competitive with the best cars in the class”.

“Returning to Pomona with a car that we believe can compete for a win is what I’m so excited about. LA is like my second home and having a chance to see old friends and finish the season on a high note is what we want to do. Our goal all year was win our first Wally and to be able to do that at Pomona would be so cool”.

The Patron Tequila team would like to thank all of the companies that have supported them throughout the season and hope to invite them all into the winner’s circle Sunday night.
