Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge is coming in hot and you don’t want to miss this high-octane, excitement-filled event. Drag racing returns to the infamous strip of historic Woodward Avenue at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, on August 11.
Dodge will once again be running FREE Thrill Rides all day – and trust us when we say you’ve never experienced edge-of-your-seat excitement quite like it. They’re back this year by popular demand, with epic side-winding moves that will make you feel like you’re in a Dodge commercial. Grab your friends and head to M1 Concourse on Saturday, August 11, to take your turn in the passenger seat of a Challenger or Charger SRT Hellcat.
Leah Pritchett (pictured above) will make an appearance in her Dodge/Mopar Top Fuel Dragster and Matt Hagan in his Dodge Charger Funny Car will once again “light ’em up” on Woodward Avenue. Other returning fan favorites include the high-octane virtual head-to-head racing in Dodge Challenger SRT simulators; show ‘n’ shine; dyno testing; “Roadkill” stunts, flamethrower and wheelstanqer exhibitions; family friendly kids zone activities; and an eclectic array of food truck offerings.
The drag racing will include the return of the celebrity showdown with Motor Trend’s hugely popular series Roadkill cohosts David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan. Chris Jacobs of Velocity’s Barrett-Jackson Live will emcee the activities, while Brian Lohnes of Motor Trend’s “Put Up or Shut Up” will emcee the drag races. Additional industry celebrity attendees include Richard Rawlings of Discovery’s Fast N’ Loud’, Steve Magnate and Cristy Lee (also from Barrett-Jackson Live), All Girls Garage, and Bill Goldberg and Matt D’Andria from the automotive podcast CarCast with Adam Carolla.
