ENNIS, Texas (AP) 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.

Enders extended her points lead to 154 over Greg Anderson with two events left in the NHRA Mello Yello Countdown to the Championship.

Richie Crampton won in Top Fuel, Del Worsham in Funny Car, and Jerry Savoie in Pro Stock Motorcycle.
