MotorTrend's Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge: A Decade of Drag Racing and Celebration

MotorTrend's annual event, Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge, is back in downtown Pontiac, Michigan, on August 9 to commemorate its 10th anniversary. Street-legal drag racing takes center stage as thrilled fans anticipate high-octane competitions, thrilling performances, and the exuberant car culture that this event has come to symbolize. This milestone year brings the excitement right back to the iconic Woodward Avenue, famous for its automotive significance and history.

The Evolution of a Community Celebration

Since its launch in 2015 in the parking lot of the now-demolished Pontiac Silverdome, Roadkill Nights has grown into an essential event for car enthusiasts and the broader Detroit community. Initially a small grassroots gathering, it has evolved into a premier automotive celebration that attracts crowds from near and far. Over the decade, it has showcased the passion and spirit of the automotive community, cementing its place on the calendars of performance car lovers.

Dodge has committed to making this year's event exceptional, announcing the return of the much-anticipated Dodge Direct Connection Grudge Race, a highlight for many fans. This year features a new “Outlaw” format, amplifying the competition and intrigue of the races.

A Showcase of Performance and Enthusiasm

As part of the celebration, Dodge is set to unveil new products, alongside thrill ride experiences and competition in various categories including Big Tire and Small Tire classes. The event will also feature a massive car show, hands-on experiences for car enthusiasts, and an opportunity to interact with various automotive builders and racers.
