INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- A big part of two-time Pro Stock champion Erica Enders' success is the ability to see the positive in everything and then make the most of that optimism.

That may be disheartening to some, but Enders is the defending U.S. Nationals champion and knows race day is a new day. "This is our worst qualifying position in a long [...]

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. [...]
