BRISTOL, Tenn. — Alexis DeJoria and crew chief Del Worsham like Bristol Dragway. This time around, DeJoria is entering the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals with a burst of wind under her wings. We had new bodies, new clutch setup, different heads and things like that we had to assimilate to,” DeJoria said. But recently, the buzz about DeJoria has involved her record on the starting line, rather than her top-end results. “It did surprise me, because I keep my head down and just keep racing and I don’t really think about, oh, you’re the first female to do this or that,” DeJoria said. It feels really good and I’m really grateful,” DeJoria said.
