Drag queen Erica Enders recounted a frightening encounter at the Texas Motorplex when a man flew from Australia under the impression they were in a romantic relationship. When Enders told him the truth, he lashed out.
"He shoved me, and I screamed for Richard (Freeman, car owner) and Casey. They tackled him and escorted him out. He was kicked out of the facility and put on the ‘Do Not Buy a Ticket’ list.”

Top Fuel star Clay Millican learned of his impersonation the hard way—from NHRA itself. A woman had called the sanctioning body, claiming to be in an online relationship with the veteran Top Fuel driver.
“She said we were having an online affair,” Millican recalled. “She had fake text messages, even claimed there were videos of me. And she said I needed $39,000 sent to my management company—which doesn’t exist.”
The fake company name? “Peak Management.”
“My management company is Donna,” Millican joked, referring to his wife, who’s been by his side since high school.
I have followed drag racing for over 60 years.
KNOW many of the people there.
Did BOOKKEEPING for a few—who had other businesses besides acting.
THIS IS TOTALLY BIZARRE
I don’t follow drag racing, but this sounds like a real problem.
They’re not the only ones being impersonated.
