Quotables:
Alexis DeJoria, Driver
Super proud of this Patrón team. Three out of our four qualifying runs were the quickest of their rounds. On my last run, I thought ‘this is as good a time as any to do a super long burnout,’ so I went past the tree and gave the fans a good show.
My Patrón Toyota Camry was definitely a handful in both lanes throughout qualifying, but that’s what Funny Car is all about. It’s been a lot of fun driving one of these things and I’ll definitely miss it. Trying not to think about it much until that last run, but I made sure I had a good time. Looking forward to tomorrow and going rounds.
