  • DeJoria has strong New England roots, having spent much of her childhood in the Narragansett, R.I. area
  • DeJoria has long considered the New England Nationals to be a homecoming event, and is looking forward to being surrounded by much of her East Coast family, including her 94-year-old grandmother, Louisa, during the race weekend

Quotable:
“New England Dragway is a special track for me. My East Coast family will be there, including my 94-year-old grandmother, Louisa. Our team has yet to bring home a Wally this year, and we’d love nothing more than to do that in Epping. But most importantly, we really need to get some round wins under our belt this weekend.”
