Quotable:
Alexis DeJoria, Driver
Man, does it feel good to end qualifying with a 3.887. Going into race day, we’re third in qualifying. We’ve had really good runs this weekend so far. We haven’t qualified this well in a while, and it just feels nice to go into Sunday sitting a little bit higher up in the field. It gives us a lot more confidence, but again, each round is so difficult and it doesn’t matter who you run out there. We’re happy we squeezed another 80 in there and we’re pretty excited right now.

About Tequila Patrón
From hand-harvesting the highest-quality 100 percent Weber Blue Agave, to the traditional, time-honored distillation process and individual labeling, numbering, and inspection of each bottle, Patrón tequila is crafted with meticulous precision and care. Though Patrón has grown to become one of the most-recognized and respected luxury spirits brands in the world, it is still exclusively produced in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, in the same small batches and with the same commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
