Courtney Enders is a motorsports personality who transformed from a competitive drag racer to an influential voice in the racing world, using her on-track experience and authentic communication style to connect with fans and promote women in motorsports.
EARLY YEARS
Born on November 14, 1986, in Houston, Texas, Courtney Lee Enders grew up immersed in drag racing culture thanks to her father Gregg Enders, whose passion for the sport shaped her childhood. As the younger sister of future NHRA Pro Stock champion Erica Enders, she was naturally drawn to motorsports from an early age. The family’s deep roots in racing created an environment where competitive spirit thrived, with both sisters beginning their journeys in junior dragsters. This early exposure to the high-octane world of drag racing built the foundation for her future in motorsports, while their tight family bond was evident in how the sisters stood united both on and off the track—demonstrating the resilience and determination that would become hallmarks of Courtney’s approach to racing and life.
EARLY SUCCESS
Following closely in her sister’s footsteps, Courtney’s racing journey began with Junior Dragsters, where she honed her skills and competitive edge. Her progression through the racing ranks showed promise as she moved up to Super Stock categories, displaying the same determination that ran in the Enders family. In an ambitious career move that highlighted her versatility and fearlessness, she pursued Pro Stock Motorcycle licensing despite limited experience on two wheels. This transition was inspired by childhood memories of watching riders like Angelle Sampey compete. What made this venture particularly notable was her willingness to push beyond comfort zones—learning to manage burnouts and balance on powerful Suzuki Pro Stock Motorcycles required significant physical adaptation and mental fortitude, showcasing her commitment to expanding her racing repertoire beyond the familiar four-wheeled dragsters that defined her early career.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

- 2020s: Emerged as a prominent drag racing content creator and commentator for FloRacing during the pandemic.
- 2024-2025: Actively participated in the prestigious World Series of Pro Mod at Bradenton Motorsports Park.
REPUTATION
What makes Courtney stand out in the motorsports world is her authentic voice and ability to connect with racing communities from various vantage points. Though she may not have the championship tally of her sister Erica, her reputation is built on versatility, resilience, and relatability. The pandemic unexpectedly thrust her into public speaking and media roles, where she discovered natural talents for storytelling and connecting with audiences. As Drag Racing Content Creator for FloRacing, she brings an insider’s perspective combined with refreshing honesty that resonates with fans. Her advocacy for wellness and physical fitness within racing circles demonstrates her understanding that motorsport success extends beyond driving skills. Known for her direct communication style and willingness to share unvarnished truths about the racing lifestyle, she’s become a respected voice who bridges the gap between competitors and fans, particularly inspiring for women in a traditionally male-dominated sport. Rather than simply following in her sister’s shadow, she has carved out her own unique space in motorsports by leveraging her racing experience to tell stories that matter.
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Looking beyond 2025, Courtney aims to further expand her influence within motorsports by potentially moving into mentorship roles and broader positions within racing organizations. While maintaining her connection to drag racing through events like those at Bradenton Motorsports Park, she intends to leverage her experience and communication skills to make a lasting impact on the sport. Though specific team affiliations and sponsorship arrangements haven’t been publicly announced, her continued engagement with the racing community suggests she’s strategically positioning herself for a future where she can contribute to positive change in motorsports while remaining true to her racing roots. Her thoughtful approach to career development indicates she’s focused on building a sustainable presence in racing that extends well beyond driving.
