LAS VEGAS, NV -- Enjoying a relaxed weekend at the racetrack where she's had the most success in her brilliant career, back-to-back and reigning Pro Stock champion Erica Enders and her Elite Motorsports crew have put together one of their better qualifying efforts of the season.

But as close as Pro Stock has been this year, [...]

DALLAS, TX -- Reigning Pro Stock world champion Erica Enders will have to be perfect to defend the title of the annual AAA Texas NHRA Fallnationals after an off-pace qualifying effort that left her Elite Motorsports/Mopar Dodge Dart in the 15th spot on the elimination ladder. Enders powered to a convincing victory at this event one year ago that all but clinched her second straight world title. It was one of nine wins she recorded in a record-breaking year. The Spring, Texas native hasn't been [...]

DALLAS (Oct. 15) -- In two and a half decades of racing, Jeg Coughlin Jr. has accomplished a lot of remarkable things. He's won six world championships (five in Pro Stock and one more in Super Gas), claimed 76 national event trophies, raced to the winner's circle in a record seven different eliminator categories, and is the only driver ever to win from all 16 qualifying positions. That final stat seems the most telling at the conclusion of qualifying for the 31st annual AAA Texas [...]

READING, PA -- In between what has seemed to be a never-ending smattering of rain at Maple Grove Raceway, there were moments of really good drag racing, and reigning world champion Erica Enders is convinced she could have made a big move if she was given another chance. But in the end, she only got one shot in her Elite Motorsports/Mopar Dodge Dart and had to settle for the No. 9 spot on the qualifying grid. "Dang it, we wanted another run," Enders said. "It [...]

READING, PA -- With rain erasing three of the four scheduled qualifying sessions at this weekend's 32nd annual Dodge NHRA Nationals, the one pass drivers got down Maple Grove Raceway was literally a make-or-break run. Fortunately for five-time Pro Stock champion Jeg Coughlin Jr., he made it into the elimination field, but it took every bit of his 377 national events worth of experience to get the job done. "I almost went over," Coughlin said of his pass down a very green racing surface. "Obviously [...]
