Alexis DeJoria the Bandero Premium Tequila Toyota GR Supra Funny Car Looking for 1st Four Wide Victory in Vegas

Las Vegas, NV – DeJoria is a two-time Las Vegas 1 winner but is seeking her first victory at a four-wide event.  She’s advanced to the final elimination quad at the 2022 event.

Alexis has enjoyed a strong start to the 2023 season which includes two semifinal finishes, two No. 2 qualifying positions, winning the inaugural #2Fast2Tasty Funny Car Challenge, and setting top speed of the meet in Pomona.  She is currently ranked third in the point standings.

“I’ve won the Spring Las Vegas race twice,” explain DeJoria, “but those wins were from before we switched to the four-wide format. Our Bandero GR Supra has been quick and consistent all year, and I truly believe a win is right around the corner for our DC Motorsports team. We advanced to the final elimination quad at last year’s Vegas race, and I feel like we have everything we need to get the job done this weekend. Everything has really started to come together as of late. I’m especially excited because we’re back to four qualifying runs this weekend, all of which are in the middle of the day. As long as we continue our trend of performing well during qualifying, we’ll be in a really good position, armed with some really good data, to make it a long race day, and hopefully end our Sunday with our first four-wide Wally.”
