2014 was a breakout year for NHRA Funny Car driver Alexis DeJoria and the Kalitta Motorsports Tequila Patr\u00f3n Toyota Camry Funny Car team. Three wins, multiple track records, No. 1 qualifiers, and three-second runs highlighted the banner year for NHRA\u2019s \u201cQuickest Female Funny Car Driver.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the 2015 season opener, the NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, Calif., just days away, DeJoria and team are eagerly awaiting that first moment when they roll their 10,000-horespower Toyota Camry to the starting line, showcasing a fiery new look.<\/p>\n

DeJoria\u2019s Toyota Camry Funny Car spent the majority of the 2014 season painted in purple and gold, representing Patr\u00f3n XO Cafe. At the final race of the season, fans were treated to a bold, new look: a red flame-emblazoned hot rod, commemorating the launch of the newest brand in the XO Cafe line, Incendio, an innovative fiery-hot chile chocolate liqueur. The Incendio livery was intended for one weekend only, and plans to return to the XO Cafe purple and gold scheme for 2015 were already in place. While watching DeJoria zip down the track that weekend however, ultimately claiming the top qualifying spot, no one could deny that her car looked hot! And thus, plans were changed.<\/p>\n

“Last year when we celebrated the launch of Patr\u00f3n XO Cafe Incendio, our intention was to change the look of Alexis\u2019 Patr\u00f3n XO Cafe Toyota Camry Funny Car for just the NHRA World Finals in Pomona. However, when we saw how terrific those graphics looked- particularly racing down the track at 300-mph with the flames shooting out of the car- and when we heard the overwhelming reaction from fans, it didn\u2019t take us long to make the decision to make it a permanent change for the 2015 season\u201d said Lee Applbaum, Chief Marketing Officer at Patr\u00f3n Spirits. \u201cThere\u2019s really no better way to showcase fiery-hot Patr\u00f3n XO Cafe Incendio than on a 10,000-horsepower race car driven by Alexis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Armed with a hot new image and hungry to add more Wallys to their collection, the Patr\u00f3n XO Cafe Incendio Toyota Camry Funny Car team has their sights set on the ultimate goal heading into the Winternationals: the 2015 Funny Car series title.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing out of last year, which was really our breakout year, we accomplished so much more than we had initially expected,\u201d said DeJoria, an Austin resident, and only driver to be victorious in the Super Comp, Top Alcohol Funny Car, and Funny Car classes. \u201cBeing that close to Championship contention, it made us hungry for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to keep charging ahead. 2015 is going to be a very strong year for the Patr\u00f3n XO Cafe Incendio team, and we\u2019re proud Patr\u00f3n has presented us with the opportunity to represent the newest brand in their XO Cafe line. Anything is possible- we\u2019ve won races, ran in the three\u2019s, set records, qualified in the top spot; we\u2019ve conquered everything except the big picture. This year, we\u2019re going for it full force. We\u2019re all eager to get back out there and kick-off the season on a strong note.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NHRA Winternationals marks the first event of the 24-race NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series. Alexis DeJoria and the Patr\u00f3n XO Cafe Incendio Toyota Camry Funny Car team begin qualifying for the NHRA Winternationals at 1PM PST on Friday, February 6.

About Patr\u00f3n XO Cafe Incendio
\nRecognizing a growing enthusiasm for intense taste and flavor, Patr\u00f3n Spirits has introduced Patr\u00f3n XO Cafe Incendio, an innovative fiery-hot chile chocolate liqueur.<\/p>\n

Patr\u00f3n XO Cafe Incendio combines the spicy, distinctive flavor of Mexican arbol chile with the rich, decadent essence of Criollo chocolate, brought together with the crisp, smooth taste of Patr\u00f3n Silver tequila.<\/p>\n

The Chile de arbol is a small and slender Mexican pepper typically found in the states of Jalisco, Chihuahua and Zacatecas. Thought to be derived from the cayenne pepper, arbol chile is characterized by its smoky and spicy complex flavor, and is the main component in many hot sauces. The high-quality Criollo variety chocolate in Patr\u00f3n XO Cafe Incendio is produced in Mexico\u2019s Tabasco region.<\/p>\n

Perfect as a shot, or as the base for a high quality cocktail, Patr\u00f3n XO Cafe Incendio is distilled at 30 percent alcohol by volume, 60 proof. Produced and bottled at the Hacienda Patr\u00f3n distillery in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, Patr\u00f3n XO Cafe Incendio is handcrafted with the same attention to detail and quality as all Patr\u00f3n tequilas and liqueurs. It is available in 50ml, 375ml and 750ml sizes and packaged in the eye-catching handmade Patr\u00f3n XO Cafe glass bottle, a frosted version of the iconic cork-closed Patr\u00f3n tequila bottle. The red, yellow and black label features imagery evocative of smoke and fire.<\/p>\n
