“Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge is marking a decade for one reason,” Dodge CEO Matt McAlear said, “and that’s the fans and the Dodge enthusiasts who have come out by thousands and supported Roadkill Nights since it was a grassroots event in the parking lot of the Silverdome. Each edition of the event gets bigger and better, and knowing what we have planned, the tenth year will be the best year yet.”
Drag racing always takes center stage for Roadkill Nights, and it will be no different this time with the usual categories. But the event is more than just a street-legal drag race. The Direct Connection Grudge Match returns with new racers and familiar faces. What will this group of enthusiasts build this year? Dodge will also be giving its legendary joy rides as pro drivers whip around a course in various performance Dodge vehicles. We’ve even heard rumors of a monster truck and some special vehicle appearances.
“Dodge is synonymous with drag racing from their insane Demon 170 a few years ago to their incredible efforts in NHRA drag racing with sportsman and professional efforts,” said Mike Galimi, network director of HOT ROD. “To be back this summer with Dodge for another Roadkill Nights is awesome. They love engaging with their customers and fans, and we love going drag racing with them.”
