~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Contact: Rob Geiger (832) 971-9345 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Texas native Erica Enders will need perfection to defend Dallas title ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DALLAS (Oct. 15) -- Reigning Pro Stock world champion Erica Enders will have to be perfect to defend the title of the annual AAA Texas NHRA Fallnationals after an off-pace qualifying effort that left her Elite Motorsports/Mopar Dodge Dart in the 15th spot on the elimination ladder. Enders powered to a convincing victory at this event one year ago that all but clinched her second straight world title. It was one of nine wins she recorded in a record-breaking year. The Spring, Texas native hasn't been as fortunate this season, and she finds herself still searching for her first win of 2016. "Three races left on the schedule so that's three chances to win," Enders said. "Realistically, it'll be tough and we didn't do ourselves any favors here during qualifying but that won't stop us from giving our all tomorrow. We've seen crazier things happen in the past. "We have three cars racing out of Elite Motorsports between myself, Jeg (Coughlin) and Vincent (Nobile). Vincent is still very much in the mix for the championship this year so at our last team meeting Jeg and I told him we'd do all we could to help him get there. The best thing we can do is knock off those cars he's battling, so we'll give it hell." Friday qualifying ended with Enders posting a 6.652 at 207.75 mph, but that number wasn't good enough to lock up a spot in the top 12 so the team had to start over Saturday. In her first effort Saturday she was forced to shut off well before the finish line and she drifted to a 9.776 at 94.49 mph. Later, she came back in the final session and ran a 6.748 at 184.45 mph, the 15th best time of the day. Her first match-up will come against championship hopeful Greg Anderson, who topped out at 6.579 at 210.11 mph. "Greg and Jason (Line, Anderson's teammate) have been 1-2 all year between the two of them so right off the start we have a chance to take out a top car," Enders said. "Obviously they have us covered this weekend but you never know what will happen on race day. "I'm so happy to be back in Texas. I love my state and I feel so great whenever I'm here breathing Texas air." Pro Stock eliminations start at noon, Sunday. FOX Sports 1 will broadcast all of the elimination action live from 2-5 p.m., Sunday. (All times listed in ET). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --30-- Visit EliteMotorsportsLlc.com [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00134FNg-emQnfx7S1BPu7-MhLiyjXUK4zXxWIX0W8Z12moGZGX-m3EPWlRl6Skt70BGDKRmFenu_XxL2BY4Lfb2vq3vlSCDY_2-JMS3pCHoT8HG6AQPNiQaa3UCb5UoY4tuI2rWnarrjPaP4VMeTMBXmfaeAGgp-S2r4eol6m5BBFntXjxkABcTlG9ClXjNtgp&c=JuoFOfjrar7mJzJJwf0q1aTZD2qOa-wfIKl0xD8XTCejL-RnuHOVMA==&ch=F3FpTAGU3z3VKWHAqSOeyRmlUIZg5uQUU2ek78OiPU0w9b5q_WPX2A==], Mopar.com [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00134FNg-emQnfx7S1BPu7-MhLiyjXUK4zXxWIX0W8Z12moGZGX-m3EPcve_7NSFQrhr9MbEgFWEmxtVAwzAA0d8WXjpXjW0jHoiqZzkd1-Re-03KzaFjWXMErR-UsphTMvk0KOmmW5-ZdxFGTt84LDdyNzQTfSw2HX_DkexxZVbVk=&c=JuoFOfjrar7mJzJJwf0q1aTZD2qOa-wfIKl0xD8XTCejL-RnuHOVMA==&ch=F3FpTAGU3z3VKWHAqSOeyRmlUIZg5uQUU2ek78OiPU0w9b5q_WPX2A==], RJRaceCars.com [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00134FNg-emQnfx7S1BPu7-MhLiyjXUK4zXxWIX0W8Z12moGZGX-m3EPcve_7NSFQrhJv_xc4h6BOXatf_MNCSyZ-Y5ra1NzVOTgKEQioRH4g-ghGykmqgqxI4lxxck56pDb-k1-2j0hEqOakjOrXI15yBfB_oxbAgXZz-zv2q_ed07njtq8OO3aA==&c=JuoFOfjrar7mJzJJwf0q1aTZD2qOa-wfIKl0xD8XTCejL-RnuHOVMA==&ch=F3FpTAGU3z3VKWHAqSOeyRmlUIZg5uQUU2ek78OiPU0w9b5q_WPX2A==], TransportationImpact.com [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00134FNg-emQnfx7S1BPu7-MhLiyjXUK4zXxWIX0W8Z12moGZGX-m3EPR403Y5yN1bQ3snPj3Xfyz-eU9ifH6FTFl8qs-qLR762jXYLM9wH-mFbjXEOjrSt-Fy9aG1uriGZN0gfP0aVGNkVi-_cHyQKESKOZJS6b8ajrEN2Co0i9_wqTFafYLPNZQ==&c=JuoFOfjrar7mJzJJwf0q1aTZD2qOa-wfIKl0xD8XTCejL-RnuHOVMA==&ch=F3FpTAGU3z3VKWHAqSOeyRmlUIZg5uQUU2ek78OiPU0w9b5q_WPX2A==], EricaEndersRacing.com [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00134FNg-emQnfx7S1BPu7-MhLiyjXUK4zXxWIX0W8Z12moGZGX-m3EPVALV-aI7xTTuYfsMIRUlW4gJXU_nuI7E8POY9nkNen9Xy5GdIiOLgGrrJlCa2-u1v4yospvkzs34HQgTyRTbKmDG3bQJFdtHyDlxSwHSvToz1rYtFwihSluTkeVWOhENg==&c=JuoFOfjrar7mJzJJwf0q1aTZD2qOa-wfIKl0xD8XTCejL-RnuHOVMA==&ch=F3FpTAGU3z3VKWHAqSOeyRmlUIZg5uQUU2ek78OiPU0w9b5q_WPX2A==], MellingSelectPerformance.com [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00134FNg-emQnfx7S1BPu7-MhLiyjXUK4zXxWIX0W8Z12moGZGX-m3EPchq3Ge81yDDpkhCFhb0yJ4UbLvn-WsMb8VtNN4k7Bw44066T4MhiMqVGvn1WpH5azdC0s2ByMbBElNPptCQkeHOO89hYRmYp4nvCGSacaZbd5d-2e8ZuwIkneNEf52baFIwxZypG26U&c=JuoFOfjrar7mJzJJwf0q1aTZD2qOa-wfIKl0xD8XTCejL-RnuHOVMA==&ch=F3FpTAGU3z3VKWHAqSOeyRmlUIZg5uQUU2ek78OiPU0w9b5q_WPX2A==], and GeigerMediaGlobal.com [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00134FNg-emQnfx7S1BPu7-MhLiyjXUK4zXxWIX0W8Z12moGZGX-m3EPY8bFKugQ55FmnezZ4NUub87oYA-hVSPa25cl7611xdAb87t9BONBjDotif9rQ9myrAWnGRMtMLs-S679ueQuJW21r-vpDjI8K_bX35RBbldqaR0lWybYnwY7zLTO-0lmQ==&c=JuoFOfjrar7mJzJJwf0q1aTZD2qOa-wfIKl0xD8XTCejL-RnuHOVMA==&ch=F3FpTAGU3z3VKWHAqSOeyRmlUIZg5uQUU2ek78OiPU0w9b5q_WPX2A==] for more information. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Forward this email http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?llr=uiezvfkab&m=1110439661844&ea=$submit@theautochannel.com$&a=1126138328920 This email was sent to submit@theautochannel.com by rob@geigermediaglobal.com.
