July 1, 2012 might seem like any normal day to the average american, but to the drag racing fan it means everything. In the lives of those who were at Route 66 Dragway in Joliet Illinois for the O'Reilly AutoParts Nationals or watching on espn2, they wont forget the sight of Erica Enders doing something that has never been done in drag racing history , that is becoming the 1st woman in history to win a national event in pro stock.

From the time she began her career in Jr. Dragsters to now in Pro Stock, Erica had a determination to make her dreams come true. It was truly an awesome sight to see her clutching that Golden Wally trophy, holding it high above her head after defeating her nemesis Greg Anderson whom she wanted to beat so badly. In victory circle, Enders let loose the pent up emotions that had dogged her for years of when she would win her first national event. What we witnessed on TV was a young lady who had dreams of victory from the very beginning of her career in drag racing had finally been realized

Lessons in life can take us to a place most of us might never get to on our own. If one is to learn from Erica's victory is this: No matter how long it may take, or how much work one has to put in, or the sacrifices one meakes to make their dreams come true; no one should give up on their dreams. Not only did It take a lot of faith by her team owner Victor Cagnazzi and team sponsors ZaZa Energy as well as the crew, but it was her faith in God that helped propel her and the team to victory proving once again that indeed faith does work wonders
