ERICA ENDERS Keeps Elite Motorsports Sponsors Happy as Team Expands Fleet

February 12, 2026

• ERICA ENDERS continues to anchor Elite Motorsports’ sponsor relationships as the team expands into Top Fuel with Tony Stewart. Her star power keeps longtime partners like Johnson’s Horsepowered Garage and Melling Performance locked in for 2026, with JHG maintaining primary placement on her Pro Stock ride since 2022. The winningest female in motorsports history remains the centerpiece that makes sponsors feel like family at Elite.
• Melling Performance is celebrating their 80th anniversary by doubling down on ENDERS’ proven track record, keeping primary sponsorship on both her car and teammate Aaron Stanfield’s for 2026. They’re even putting a special anniversary logo on the rear deck of both rides. When you’ve got six professional championships under your belt like Melling does with Elite, you stick with what works – and that formula clearly includes backing the most successful woman in drag racing.
• The sponsor renewal announcement showcases how ENDERS’ championship credibility translates to business value for Elite Motorsports. CTech Manufacturing and Competition Trailers are expanding their support to include Stewart’s Top Fuel operation, but they’re staying rooted in the Pro Stock program where ENDERS and six-time champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. deliver consistent results. Smart money follows proven winners, and these partners know ENDERS brings both performance and marketability to the table.
