Erica Enders knows how to win NHRA Pro Stock national events. She won the 2014 and 2015 world championships and had 21 national event wins on her resume.

That number was stuck at 21 when she made it to the winner’s circle at the Las Vegas fall race in 2015. In all, 33 races passed before Enders returned to Victory Lane and that came Sunday at the New England Nationals in Epping, N.H.

Drag racing nearly had a historical trifecta during the finals of the professional categories at the NHRA New England Nationals in Epping, NH.

Brittany Force (Top Fuel) and Erica Enders (Pro Stock) won at the ninth event of the 24-race NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series. Matt Hagan (Funny Car) broke up the triple play as he defeated Courtney Force in the final round.
