NHRA Funny Car driver Alexis DeJoria will not compete at this weekend’s eighth annual NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at zMAX Dragway in Charlotte, N.C. due to a family matter.
Chad Head will step behind the wheel of DeJoria’s Kalitta Motorsport Tequila Patron Toyota Funny Car this weekend instead. DeJoria’s team adds that the 39-year-old California native, who sits 11th in the points entering Charlotte, aims to be back behind the wheel as soon as possible.
Coverage of Sunday’s Final Eliminations begins at 5:30 p.m. ET Sunday on FS1.
