Engines Roar at Roadkill Nights: A Drag Racing Spectacle

Street Legal Thrills and Family Fun in Pontiac This Saturday

Get ready for the ultimate gearhead extravaganza as MotorTrend’s Roadkill Nights, powered by Dodge, transforms Woodward Avenue into a high-octane festival this Saturday, August 9th. The event promises a day packed with street-legal drag racing, monster trucks, and exclusive car showcases.

“With partners like Dodge, you can’t do anything small,” says Mike Galimi, Network Director of Hot Rod at MotorTrend. “We’ve got a whole day of drag racing set up with Heads Up Drag Racing. Tony Stewart Racing is bringing out an NHRA nitro funny car and nitro top-fuel dragster to do burnouts.”

During “Live In The D,” Dodge brought out one of its vehicles to highlight. “This is a full battery electric. This is our Daytona Scat Pack. So, 670 horsepower, all-wheel drive. Looks, feels, sounds like a muscle car,” said Ashton Munoz, Product Manager for the Dodge Charger Brand.

The event will also feature a car show, Dodge Thrill Rides, and autograph sessions with NHRA pro drivers and MotorTrend TV stars. For more information, visit hotrod.com/roadkillnights.
