DC MOTORSPORTS MAKES INAGURAL VISIT TO VIRGINIA MOTORSPORTS PARK

North Dinwiddie, VA – Alexis Dejoria and her Bandero Premium Tequila Toyota GR Supra Funny Car team ready to tackle the surface at VMP for the first time in her career.

Last Event (Charlotte 1): Qualified ninth; First round exit (defeated by Bob Tasca, John Force in E1)

Career Statistics: 178 races; six wins; six No. 1 qualifiers

Noteworthy: The 2022 event will mark DeJoria’s first time racing at Virginia Motorsports Park, DC Motorsports co-owner and crew chief, Del Worsham, won the 2009 event when he was competing in the Funny Car category.

Quotable: Alexis DeJoria, driver: “This will be my first time racing at Virginia Motorsports Park, and I’m very much looking forward to it.”

Del Worsham, crew chief, and 2009 Virginia NHRA Nationals event champion: “The track surface at Virginia Motorsports Park is phenomenal; one of the best on tour. Tommy Franklin and the Franklin family have done such a great job with the facility. I’ve been racing there since the ‘90s, and won there in Funny Car in 2009. Can’t wait to see all of the local fans, and hopefully, after this three-year hiatus, the weather will hold up this weekend and we’ll be able to put on a good show.”
