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 [...]

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 [...]

READING, PA -- Back-to-back world champion Erica Enders notched one of her biggest elimination round-wins of the year Sunday, beating title contender Bo Butner wire-to-wire in the opening session of the 32nd annual Dodge NHRA Nationals. "To go out there and get this Elite Motorsports/Mopar Dodge Dart a round-win at the Dodge Nationals was exciting," Enders said.

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 [...]

ST. LOUIS, MO -- Erica Enders raced to the Pro Stock final at Gateway Motorsports Park as part of her run to the 2015 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series championship.

In her first season running the Elite Motorsports/Mopar Dodge, Enders has struggled to maintain her stellar performance from 2014-15, when she swept to back-to-back titles. "We are absolutely [...]

"They are amazing," Enders said. "They work really hard. It's frustrating and disheartening to see how hard they work and not have it translate to the scoreboard. At this point, this year is a letdown and we [...]

CHARLOTTE, NC -- Reigning Pro Stock champion Erica Enders began her march to a second straight world title last year with a convincing victory at the NHRA Carolina Nationals.

"That's all the way back to when I drove for the late Jim Cunningham," Enders said. "It's no secret, this year has been a struggle for us. Someone just asked me how you bounce [...]
