NHRA Funny Car Driver, Alexis DeJoria will be at the NHRA Las Vegas event with more than just pink decals and parachutes; she will be educating spectators about breast cancer and encouraging women to get mammograms!  Alexis DeJoria and Kalitta Motorsports have partnered with the Nevada Health Center to offer free mammograms on site at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
“Everybody kind of does the same thing over and over again. They paint their cars pink, use a pink parachute, stuff like that, and I just thought this would be something that’s active, actually giving back and being a part of the solution,” Alexis Dejoria reported to Autoweek in a recent interview.
Women, 40 and older, will be able to receive free mammograms at the Mammovan that will be parked next to Alexis DeJoria’s racing pit.  No appointments and no physician referrals will be required.
“I’ll be another woman in line.  I’m not close to 40 yet, but I’m going to be there. I’ll definitely be there to hold hands and be supportive of whoever is up there. I’m sure there will be some worried women there who will need a little support, ” stated Alexis.
