Alexis DeJoria and the Bandero Café Funny Car Ready for the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals

Pomona, CA – DeJoria, a longtime and current Southern California resident, was first introduced to NHRA Drag Racing when she visited the Pomona track with friends as a teenager.

The five-time semifinalist in 2025 enters the weekend occupying the No. 12 position and will attempt to battle her way back into the top 10A 35-point deficit separates DeJoria from the No. 10 ranked driver.
