"We've only been to Epping twice, so we haven't had many chances to win there just yet, but [...]

TOPEKA, KS — Heartland Park Topeka has a special place in the heart of Elite Motorsports/Mopar Dodge driver Erica Enders, the two-time Pro Stock champion.

Enders was in her second full year of Pro Stock in 2006, driving the [...]
