Alexis DeJoria, Driver
We did pretty well in qualifying here in Atlanta at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals. We made it down the track three times out of four and qualified fourth. We are headed into Sunday feeling pretty pumped and hopefully we can collect some more round wins tomorrow.
