Toyota Las Vegas NHRA Toyota Nationals Preview
DEJORIA LOOKS TO SWEEP VEGAS– Alexis DeJoria will be looking to make it a clean sweep of the year’s events at The Strip at Las Vegas 
Motor Speedway this weekend. In April, she defeated Robert Hight in the finals to win her second career Funny Car race. For the season, DeJoria has won three races and has registered two sub four-second passes – the only woman in Funny Car history to reach that milestone.
BROWN REIGNING TOYOTA NATIONALS CHAMP – Antron Brown returns to Las Vegas as the defending Toyota Nationals champion after beating Clay Millican in last year’s final. The 2012 Top Fuel champion also won the spring race at the track in 2009. Brown has already won six races this season and is now just two wins shy of tying Don Prudhomme for 10th in all-time NHRA victories.
DEJORIA RETURNS MAMMOGRAM PROGRAM AT TOYOTA NATIONALS – Toyota Funny Car driver Alexis DeJoria will arrive in Las Vegas having won three races this season, but her biggest 2014 victory might come off the track, in the race to help defeat breast cancer. Alexis DeJoria Racing will once again present ‘Free Mammograms for the Fans’ in a partnership with the Nevada Health Centers to offer free mammograms to female race fans attending the NHRA Toyota Nationals. Women over the age of 40, regardless of their health insurance status, are encouraged to stop into the “mammovan” for a free screening. It opens at 9 a.m. and closes at approximately 6 p.m. each day
DeJoria: “We really weren’t sure what to expect when we launched the program last year. Nothing like this had ever really been done before, and we were blown away by the response. It inspired a lot of women to come out and take advantage, even women that weren’t originally planning on going to the race. They heard about what we were doing and decided to buy a race ticket.”
