Dejoria Looks for a Win at Homecoming Event!

Epping, NH – DeJoria has strong New England roots having spent much of her childhood in the Narragansett, R.I. area.  Alexis has long considered the New England Nationals to be a homecoming event, and always has a strong showing from her East Coast family who come out to support her

The team will be looking to June’s four-race schedule to move solidly back into the top 10 in the Funny Car standings.

Dejoria on Epping, “Epping marks the start of four races over a five-week span. It’s a grueling time of year but can also be a great opportunity to refine your program and make sure you’re well-situated, points-wise, heading into the second-half of the season. With back-to-backs like this, you get into a mode of consistency and progression, and for us, I feel like we’re doing really well so this will be a chance to build on that. All of our parts looked really clean after our last race out in Joliet. Unfortunately, we went out first round, but we also ran our best number of the season. We continue to just creep up on it and I really like my crew chiefs’ approach to tuning the car. They keep it consistent and are careful not to go over center.

“This weekend is shaping up to be a good one. We’re feeling well-prepped and refreshed. Epping is one of my hometown races, which makes it extra exciting for me. I have some family and friends coming out and am hoping to put on a great show for them.”
