Roadkill Nights 2018 marks the return of ‘Dodge Thrill Rides,’ where attendees can once again ride shotgun & drift along the M1 Concourse.

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.
