The Louisiana native Stanfield also won the previous U.S. Nationals two weeks ago. He took out fellow Elite Motorsports teammate Jeg Coughlin Jr. to get the win.
“It feels great. Momentum is real,” Stanfield said. “Things have been rolling our way and we’ve been getting those round wins when we need them to go our way. We did our job today, Erica and I, and all our guys. We put both of our JHG/Melling cars in the final round there, and that was the goal.
“When you start out No. 2, you know you’ve got a shot. I know the equipment I’m in, and I know how hungry my guys are to win. We definitely have a shot here, we just need to keep this momentum that we’ve got rolling.”
Before this final round, Enders had a 12-6 advantage over Stanfield. She also held a 3-1 advantage over Stanfield in previous final rounds.
