Enders sets NHRA wins record for female drivers

ENNIS, Texas -- Erica Enders raced to her eighth Pro Stock victory of the year Sunday in the AAA Texas NHRA FallNationals to break the NHRA season record for female drivers.

Enders had a 6.467-second run at 214.48 mph in her Chevrolet Camaro to beat Jonathan Gray for her 20th career victory and first at Texas Motorplex. She broke a tie with Pro Stock Motorcycle racer Angelle Sampey for the female record. Sampey set the mark in 2001.

"I have been talking about a cowboy hat for months -- wanting to come here and win a cowboy hat -- so I'm excited to be able to get that done in front of all of our friends and family," Enders said.
