On August 8–9 in Pontiac, Michigan, Dodge will kick things off with the public debut of its newest muscle car, setting the stage for a weekend packed with racing, reveals, and unforgettable moments.
New Dodge Muscle Takes Center Stage
On Friday, August 8, Dodge will unveil its latest muscle machine in a special preview, streamed live on YouTube.com/Dodge at 11 a.m. ET. This reveal will mark the start of Roadkill Nights weekend, giving fans a first look before the main event on Saturday.
Introducing the Dodge Badassadors
Making their debut at this year’s event, Dodge Badassadors are a group of passionate Dodge enthusiasts who live and breathe the brand. They’ll be on hand to meet fans, share stories, and highlight everything that makes Dodge a performance powerhouse. Expect them to capture the energy all weekend and spread it across social media.
Thrill Rides and Racing Action
At the August 9 main event, attendees can strap in for Dodge Thrill Rides in the all-new, next-generation Dodge Charger muscle cars. Street-legal drag racing returns to Woodward Avenue, with Big Tire and Small Tire classes competing for cash prizes. The Direct Connection Grudge Race will also be back for its fifth year, pitting top builders against each other in a high-stakes showdown.
Star Power on the Strip
Racing legend Tony Stewart will join NHRA champions Leah Pruett, Matt Hagan, and Ida Zetterstrom for a meet-and-greet at the Direct Connection display. Fans can also watch Hagan and Pruett perform burnouts in 12,000-horsepower drag cars, a spectacle only Roadkill Nights can deliver.
More Than Just Dodge
Ram will be part of the action with its Ram 1500 NASCAR concept truck, the Raminator Monster Truck, and special builds making their strip debut. The vendor midway, celebrity appearances, music, food trucks, and a full car show will keep the energy high all day.
