Alexis DeJoria: Exceptionally Talented Professional Drag Car Racer Reveals her Success mantra "Have a passion and love for what you do and never give up"   

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Do you follow a special diet or strict menu to remain healthy and physically fit?

Ms. Alexis DeJoria: I do my best to eat the healthiest I possibly can while on the road. I drink a lot of fresh-pressed vegetable juices, and I eat a lot of salads and healthy, clean proteins. Of course I have my cheat days as well, but for the most part I eat very healthy.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing, and what you do to your hair to make it look so stunning?

Ms. Alexis DeJoria: My hair, that's an easy one. I use my father's company's products- Paul Mitchell- so that's what makes my hair so shiny and healthy. As far as taking supplements, I take a variety of vitamins- everything from B complex, to a multivitamin, to Vitamins C, D, E, and Omega oils.
 

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Do you have any advice or motivational words for girls looking to become professional race car drivers?

Ms. Alexis DeJoria: In NHRA Drag Racing, there are more females competing than in any other form of motorsports. Almost half of the Junior Dragster league is made up of females, so in this sport, I don't think it's a matter of getting girls interested, I think it's more about keeping them motivated enough to want to stick with it. You have to take the good with the bad, you have to know when it's time to take a break and come back and try it again, but you just never give up. It's not about giving up at all, but sometimes if you're doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, it's just not going to happen. It's all about being headstrong, and having a passion and love for what you do.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: How did you feel before and after when in 2014, you became the first woman ever to make a sub-four second run, with a 3.997-second ET In Pomona, Calif. during the NHRA Winternationals?

Ms. Alexis DeJoria: That was a huge run for me. Being the first woman to do it, even though there are only two of us that are competing in the Funny Car class right now, but there have been plenty of other female Funny Car drivers prior to myself. After we ran that three second run, it just came so much easier to get the next one. They come pretty consistently now, when the conditions are right. We've come so far in less than a year. We've made leaps and bounds.
 

Ms. Namita Nayyar: During the month of October, your team partners with local mobile mammography units and brings them to racetracks offering free breast cancer screenings on-site to female ticketholders. You also raised awareness for Pancreatic Cancer by partnering with Wage Hope during the month of November. Such associations are all dear to your heart. Tell us how you have been able to achieve and quench your thirst of giving back to the society through such endeavors?

Ms. Alexis DeJoria: I believe it's very important in my position as a public figure to bring awareness to certain causes dear to me. There is so much that we can promote in our positions as professional race car drivers and quite recently we did that by providing 115 mammograms during Breast Cancer Awareness month in October, and by raising awareness of Pancreatic Cancer during the month of November. Any time we can show respect and shine a light on an important cause is a great thing.
