Seven Elite Motorsports Pro Stock drivers will make a special appearance at the NHRA Division 5 National Open doubleheader this weekend at Rock Falls Raceway in Wisconsin.

Six-time and reigning world champion Erica Enders, three-time 2024 national event winner Aaron Stanfield, six-time world champion Jeg Coughlin Jr., New England Nationals champion Troy Coughlin Jr., second-year pro Jerry Tucker, and brothers David Cuadra and Fernando Cuadra Jr. will take to the track on Friday and Saturday to complement the action on nine different NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series classes.

The Pro Stocks will make two qualifying runs on Friday and run three rounds of eliminations on Saturday.

“Getting to race at Rock Falls is always a good time,” said Enders. “It gives us a chance to show a market we don’t usually race in what Elite Motorsports is all about. It’s really perfect timing for us, too. With just two races left before we start the NHRA Countdown to the Championship, getting some extra runs is helpful. The guys always have a blast too.”

Rock Falls Raceway is owned by Wisconsin businessman and Competition eliminator racer Jim Greenheck, who is also the owner of Elite Motorsports partner CTech Manufacturing. CTech provides Elite with all of its custom aluminum cabinets and toolboxes both at its headquarters in Wynnewood, Okla., and on the road at 20 different Mission Foods NHRA Drag Racing Series events.

“CTech is a great partner of ours. They’re huge supporters of our team so for us to be able to come out to an event at Jim’s racetrack and support him, it’s important and we love doing it,” said Enders. “There’s no bad days when you’re at a racetrack.”

Gates open at 8 a.m. Friday and Saturday with racing beginning at 9 a.m. Pro Stock qualifying runs will take place at 3 and 5 p.m. with eliminations Saturday at 3, 5, and 7 p.m. Adult tickets are only $25 per day and kids 12 and under get in free.
