Alexis DeJoria, Driver
Our team made some changes going into this race. We’re running a new chassis and we’re trying to get everything smoothed out. We made a full pass on the last qualifying run so we have something to work off of tomorrow, and we will see what happens on race day.

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.
