MotorTrend Presents Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge, which usually takes place in Pontiac, is gearing up for its 10th annual tire-smoking salute to legal street drag racing in metro Detroit on Aug. 9. The exact location of this year’s event has yet to be announced.

“Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge is marking a decade for one reason, and that’s the fans and the Dodge enthusiasts who have come out by the thousands and supported Roadkill Nights since it was a grassroots event in the parking lot of the Silverdome,” says Matt McAlear, CEO of the Dodge brand for Stellantis in Auburn Hills. “Each edition of the event gets bigger and better and, knowing what we have planned, the 10th year will be the best year yet.”

In addition to head-to-head drag race action, on tap is the return of the Direct Connection Grudge Race, Dodge Thrill Rides in the all-new, all-electric 670-horspower Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, a car show, and Dodge vehicle displays.

As in past years, attendees can expect new product reveals by Dodge. The brand’s annual horsepower festival also includes a manufacturer’s midway area, exclusive merchandise, food vendors, and more.

Additional details on a decade of MotorTrend Presents Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge will be shared later in June at DodgeGarage.com and at Hotrod.com/roadkill-nights.
