Erica Enders Honored by Women in the Winner’s Circle Foundation

Erica Enders became the first woman to win a Pro Stock race this past July when she beat Greg Anderson in Chicago this past July in her Chevy Cobalt.  Coming in fourth in the overall standings for the season, the Texas-born racer has had a remarkable year.

Tonight, she’ll be honored in Indianapolis by the Women in the Winner’s Circle Foundation for Outstanding Achievements. The 10th Annual Awards celebration is the major fundraiser for founder Lyn St. James’ foundation.  NHRA President Tom Compton will receive the Leadership Award for his service to the community.  The foundation promotes and supports women in racing, including Renee Dupuis and Sunny Hobbs, amongst others.

“NHRA has a tremendous history of participation and success for women in racing, and I’m extremely proud of Erica, who is also a graduate of our driver development academy. Women now have victories in every national class of NHRA,” St. James said.
