"It's almost like 'what else could go wrong,' " said Enders, the most prolific female Pro Stock racer of all time. "It's just a tough, tough way to end the day ... before it even started.

Such was the case early Sunday afternoon when Coughlin's opening-round pass of 6.603 seconds at 209.39 mph left him just a [...]

SONOMA, CA — Fresh off her most encouraging outing of the year, back-to-back and reigning Pro Stock champion Erica Enders is anxious to get to Northern California for this weekend’s Toyota NHRA Sonoma Nationals at Sonoma Raceway. Enders qualified a season-best second on the Denver elimination ladder and logged an elimination round-win before parts failure cost her just enough time to lose her second-round race against Allen Johnson. Nevertheless, the huge uptick in performance has the entire Elite/Mopar Dodge Dart race team feeling better about [...]

On those cool days, the track is tight and the air is crisp and clean. If we get that [...]
