DALLAS, TX -- Erica Enders put a stranglehold on her second consecutive NHRA Pro Stock title by winning last year's AAA Texas NHRA Fallnationals, which takes place again this weekend at Texas Motorplex near Dallas. Although she's realistically out of the hunt for this year's championship, defending her race title still has significant meaning for the Lone Star State native. "I'm a Texas girl through and through," said Enders, who grew up in Houston and has raced at Texas Motorplex since she was 8 years [...]

DALLAS, TX -- There are a couple of unique benefits to winning the annual AAA Texas NHRA Fallnationals at Texas Motorplex, the all-concrete drag strip just south of Dallas in Ennis, Texas. First, track owner Billy Myer, a former drag racer himself, adds a special engraved brick with the champion's name in the winner's circle. Secondly, each victor gets a commemorative cowboy hat to remind them they scored a big victory deep in the heart of Texas. Jeg Coughlin Jr. was winner in Dallas in [...]

READING, PA -- Two-time Pro Stock champion Erica Enders is hoping for a little Mopar magic during the Dodge NHRA Nationals this weekend at Maple Grove Raceway. Enders posted her best qualifying effort of the season at the Mopar Mile-High Nationals in Denver earlier this season, grabbing the No. 2 spot. She hopes for similar success at another Dodge-sponsored race, this time in Pennsylvania. "At our last Dodge race this year, we had our best qualifying performance," Enders said. "Hopefully that translates to Reading." Enders [...]

READING, PA -- The Dodge NHRA Nationals this weekend would be a good time for Mopar Pro Stock drivers to shine, and five-time class champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. hopes he and his Magneti Marelli offered by Mopar/JEGS.com Dodge Dart can step up. Maple Grove Raceway would be an apt place for Coughlin to perform well, as he has won there four times in his brilliant career. The 2016 season hasn't gone as expected for Coughlin and his Elite Motorsports team, but he hopes he can [...]

ST. LOUIS, MO — A season ago, Pro Stock superstar Erica Enders was putting a stranglehold on her second straight Mello Yello world championship with a runner-up finish at the annual AAA Insurance NHRA Midwest Nationals, which takes place again this weekend at Gateway Motorsports Park. It was her fourth consecutive final-round showing and ninth of 11 she would amass during the year. This year it’s a different story. Enders once again is part of the Countdown to the Championship, but this time she’s 10th [...]

ST. LOUIS, MO -- One of the reasons JEGS.com ace Jeg Coughlin Jr. has had such a brilliant career is his ability to maintain his high level of performance under all circumstances. Even when his race car was not at the top of the speed chart, Coughlin was able to focus and do his job. That's been the case this season, as his Magneti Marelli offered by Mopar/JEGS.com Dodge Dart hasn't always been the fastest. But Coughlin hopes that he and his Elite Motorsports team [...]

CHARLOTTE, NC -- Five-time Pro Stock champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. has won championships in almost every way possible. He's earned them before the NHRA instituted the Countdown to the Championship playoff system. He's entered the playoffs as the lead dog and had to fight off all challengers. He's also come from behind and snatched glory from his rivals. Heading into this weekend's ninth annual NHRA Carolina Nationals, Coughlin finds his Magneti Marelli offered by Mopar/JEGS.com Dodge Dart team in yet another unique position. He joined [...]

CHARLOTTE, NC -- One year ago, Pro Stock racer Erica Enders arrived at the first race of NHRA's Countdown to the Championship playoffs as the No. 1 seed, having won six regular-season national events, including the previous two stops in Brainerd, Minn., and Indianapolis. This year, as Enders brings her Elite Motorsports/Mopar Dodge Dart back to zMax Dragway for the ninth annual NHRA Carolina Nationals, things are much different. Her dominating run to back-to-back championships hangs in the balance as she finds herself a distant [...]

INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- Two-time Pro Stock champion Erica Enders was drained after the U.S. Nationals in 2015, and understandably so, because she put everything she had into the race. Having won it, fulfilling a lifelong dream, Enders was physically and mentally exhausted. Enders, driver of the Elite Motorsports/Mopar Dodge, returns as defending champion of the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals, held this weekend at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis. "That was probably, aside from the championship, the coolest racing accomplishment that I've ever had," Enders said. [...]
