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. Heartland Park, site of this weekend’s NHRA Kansas Nationals, is where Enders became the first woman to earn a No. 1 qualifier in Pro Stock, and it’s also the track where she scored a dominant victory in 2015, nine years after that first No. 1 qualifier. Enders was in her second full year of Pro Stock in 2006, driving the [...]

TOPEKA, KS -- Five-time Pro Stock champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. sees plenty of light at the end of the proverbial tunnel, and the light could be shining even brighter on the Magneti Marelli offered by Mopar/JEGS.com Dodge Dart team very soon. Coughlin heads to the NHRA Kansas Nationals this weekend at Heartland Park Topeka ranked seventh in the Pro Stock points standings -- not bad, but not where he and his Elite Motorsports team figured they'd be at this point in the season. But Coughlin [...]

ATLANTA, GA -- Reigning back-to-back Pro Stock champion Erica Enders knew she left on first-round opponent Chris McGaha, and as she went through the gears of her Elite Motorsports/Mopar Dodge Dart a big smile started to cross her face. Then, in an instant, it was gone, as a big bump in her lane upset her race car enough that it shot towards the centerline. Although the 21-time national event winner didn't give up on the run, the tire spin she encountered out of the racing [...]

ATLANTA, GA -- When a team is struggling, a win -- any win -- is always good for morale.

Coughlin snapped a three-race streak in which he had lost in the first round -- twice to Skillman -- with a [...]

ATLANTA, GA — Reigning back-to-back world champion Erica Enders beams with pride whenever she talks about her Elite Motorsports/Mopar Pro Stock race team, and with the 36th annual NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway just days away, the 21-time national event winner says her next trophy celebration is coming soon. “I am feeling really good about things,” Enders said. “We had some great days testing in Denton (Texas) and Tulsa (Okla.) and the cars are getting better and better.

HOUSTON, TX — The 29th annual NHRA SpringNationals this weekend at Royal Purple Raceway didn’t go exactly as Erica Enders had hoped, and it certainly didn’t go as well as the 2014 and 2015 races for the two-time Pro Stock champion. Enders, who won her home race here the last two years, fell in the first round in 2016 with her ShirleysKids.org/Elite Motorsports Dodge Dart. “Winning only makes you want to win more, and when you don’t you’re clearly disappointed,” Enders said. “We’ve had a [...]

HOUSTON, TX -- Jeg Coughlin Jr. said the magic words after a first-round defeat with his Magneti Marelli offered by Mopar/JEGS.com Dodge Dart at the 29th annual NHRA SpringNationals on Sunday at Royal Purple Raceway: "When it rains, it pours." Coughlin wasn't referring to rain that plagued Sunday's eliminations but instead to a recent turn of fortunes for his Elite Motorsports. "Something's made a turn in our program starting in Vegas," Coughlin said. "We weren't the fastest cars out there, but we've slowed down some. [...]
