Bandero Premium Tequila Toyota GR Supra Funny Car Ready to Hunt in Vegas

Las Vegas – DeJoria, who powered the Bandero GR Supra to a runner-up finish during the second of six Countdown events (Charlotte), occupies the No. 7 spot in the Camping World Series rankings. Nine points (less than one round) separates DeJoria from No. 6 Tim Wilkerson, and there is a 93-point margin between DeJoria and No. 5 Bob Tasca.

DeJoria’s career-best Countdown finish is sixth place, and she is seeking her first ‘top five’ ranking to close out the season.

Alexis talks about 2022, “As drivers, we start each season with a certain set of goals and benchmarks we hope to achieve throughout the year and you adjust along the way. Our Bandero GR Supra is a strong-running car. We have two events left to achieve our goal of parking our car in the winner’s circle before the year is up. And for me personally, I really want to finish the season ranked in the top five. To move into fifth is a bit of a tall order, with 93 points separating us from Tasca, but it’s doable. Thankfully, Pomona features a points-and-a-half format, so while it’s not out of reach, it’s imperative we go rounds this weekend if we want to have a shot.”
