Team Patron rolling to win in Las Vegas

Las Vegas, NV (October 27, 2010) – With two national events and one division seven race to go, Alexis De Joria and the Patron Tequila Team are excited to finish their 2010 Lucas Oil Series season off in a winning fashion.

After her runner-up finish at last year’s Las Vegas Nationals, De Joria is looking to roll the dice for a win this year. “Our Patron Mustang ran really well at our last national event in Dallas a few weeks ago said De Joria, the guys went back to shop and freshened everything up for our final three races of the year so we could finish strong”.

“We love racing at The Strip at Las Vegas because it is such an awesome facility. Who doesn’t love Las Vegas? We have a lot of west coast fans and with Patron Spirits headquartered here; it would be awesome to give them my first Wally”.

“I have some extra motivation this weekend as my Mom is going to be with us all weekend. She doesn’t get to the races that often, so it will be special to have her in our pit area. Maybe she will help me pack the chutes for some extra luck!
