De Joria, 29, whose father, John Paul De
Joria, founded both Patrón Spirits Company
and Paul Mitchell Hair Care Products, has made laps
at Frank Hawley's Drag Racing School behind the
wheel of their school TAFC and finished her license
last weekend in testing at Firebird International
Raceway in Phoenix. She will start the season in a
Camaro-bodied machine until her new Murf McKinney
2007 Mustang is completed. Her tenure in Top
Alcohol Funny Car will be to prepare her for a
future ride in the nitro Funny Car ranks.
"I'm really looking forward to racing in Top
Alcohol Funny Car," said De Joria. "Ever since I
saw my first Top Fuel run as a teenager at Pomona,
I've been hooked. When I felt the power, saw the
flames at night and the speed, I was like, sign me
up. I've always been drawn to the Funny Cars; I
have a real affinity for them. My ultimate goal is
to move into nitro Funny Car. They're just bad ass,
they're harder to drive and that really appeals to
me. Right now, I just want to learn as much as I
can in the Top Alcohol Funny Car. Jack has
assembled a great team to learn with. I can't wait
to get this Tequila Patrón Funny Car in
competition!"
