Quotables:
Alexis DeJoria, Driver
“I’m really happy that we qualified at Maple Grove Raceway this weekend. It was kind of a struggle these past two days. We went into today not qualified, but thankfully on that last run we made it down the track with a 4.145 so we’re in the show tomorrow. We face Jack Beckman in round one again- this will be our third weekend in a row racing him first round and he’s taken us out the past two weeks- hopefully third times the charm! I’m looking forward to running my black, green and pink Patrón Toyota Camry [in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month] on race day.”
