2015 Motorsport Professional of the Year – Erica Enders
Horsepower & Heels is proud to announce the winner of the 2015 Women of the Year Female Motorsport Professional category – Elite Motorsports driver Erica Enders!
When it comes to taking care of business in NHRA’s Pro Stock class, none got it done as well as Erica Enders. But Enders also gained the vote of her peers and fans as a motorsport business professional as well. She’s as comfortable in a boardroom as she is behind the wheel of her Pro Stock Camaro.
Enders overcame funding issues by being a strong and valuable business partner to her sponsors and team. She handled the pressure and remained professional, earning her back-to-back Pro Stock World Championship title.
