Coughlin, Line, Enders all with victories, separated by 77 points for overall lead
DETROIT (September 4, 2020) – As the Pro Stock division descends upon Indianapolis for its third straight event at Lucas Oil Raceway, that doesn’t diminish the fact that the U.S. Nationals is still the most prestigious weekend in the NHRA Mello Yello Series. The traditional Labor Day Weekend event also nicknamed the “Big Go”, may be a bit shorter in on-track activity, but still a momentous victory for teams and drivers. 
Chevrolet Pro Stock drivers Jeg Coughlin Jr., Jason Line and Erica Enders, have all visited victory lane at least once this season and sit 1-2-3 atop the standings.  Coughlin Jr., who took his JEGS.com Elite Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro to victory circle for the second time of the year at the most recent Indy event, leads Line by 44 points. Line, driver of the Summit Chevrolet Camaro for KB Racing, and Coughlin Jr. both will retire from full time competition at the end of the season. 
We’ve certainly had a wonderful run of late, including here in Indy,” said Jeg Jr., “It would be wonderful to close things out with another U.S. Nationals victory. I know everyone working on the JEGS.com Elite Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro has that same opinion. It’s been an unusual year to say the least but it has allowed us to race a few extra times at Indy, which is a track my family has enjoyed for decades, dating all the way back to when my father raced here. We were fortunate enough to win the last race here three weeks ago, so we feel very optimistic about our chances going into the event. We’re taking every round as if it’s our last.”
Reigning Pro Stock Champion, Erica Enders, scored her first and only victory of 2020 at Phoenix in her Elite Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro earlier this year.  Enders, a 26-time winner on the Pro Stock circuit also earned a win in the U.S. Nationals in 2015. She currently sits 77 points back of teammate Coughlin Jr.
FOX will telecast eliminations and finals live at 1:00 p.m. ET Sunday, September 6th.
CHEVROLET FROM THE COCKPITPRO STOCK:BO BUTNER, JIM BUTNER AUTO GROUP, STRUTMASTERS CHEVROLET CAMARO SS: “I’m really looking forward to this weekend. It’s a home race for us, and we’ve got a lot happening in our pit area and on the track. It’s going to be a really fun weekend, but of course you always go to a race to win. I’ve never won the U.S. Nationals in any class, and it’s time to change that.” 
JASON LINE, KB RACING, SUMMIT RACING EQUIPMENT CHEVROLET CAMARO SS: “This should be an interesting race, and it’s certainly one I’ve been looking forward to. The U.S. Nationals are special for a lot of reasons – we’ve had a lot of fun there in the past, both with KB Racing and with my Stocker. But since this is my last season as a Pro Stock driver, it’s also my final opportunity to win a U.S. Nationals trophy in the class. I’d like to be able to do that this weekend with my Summit Racing Chevrolet Camaro, and I think we’re in good shape to do it.”
GREG ANDERSON, KB RACING, SUMMIT RACING EQUIPMENT CHEVROLET CAMARO SS: “This has always been a very special race for us. I love racing at Indy, it’s my favorite racetrack. None of the magic of the U.S. Nationals has been lost for me; it’s still a big one. It’s always been a race I look forward to, and that certainly hasn’t changed this year. To do well there means everything.”
