Alexis DeJoria Seeking First Four-Wide Victory this Weekend in Vegas

Four-Wide is a different kind of beast. If you have ever held witness to this event in person you know the amount of sensory overload that goes along with having four nitromethane burning, 11,000 horsepower hotrods all staging at once.

Las Vegas 1 Event Highlights:

  • Two-time event champion (2014, 2016)

Note: The Las Vegas 1 four-wide format was first introduced in 2018

2021 Las Vegas 1 Recap:
Qualified third; Quarterfinal finish (defeated Terry Haddock, Chad Green in E1; defeated by Matt Hagan, Tim Wilkerson in E2)

Last Event (Gainesville):
Qualified fifth; First round exit (defeated by Terry Haddock in E1)

Career Statistics:
175 races; six wins; six No. 1 qualifiers

Noteworthy:

  • DeJoria is a two-time Las Vegas 1 winner but is seeking her first victory at a four-wide event

Quotable:
“The first couple of races this season have been a bit of a learning curve for our Bandero team with our new set up, but we’re chipping away at it and continue to make progress. Of course, we’re all ready to get to Vegas where we’ve been successful in the past. I’ve had a couple of wins at the Spring Vegas race but have yet to bring home the hardware from a four-wide event, so that’s definitely on my list of conquests that I’m looking to check off. Hopefully, we can accomplish that this weekend and get our first win of the season.”
