2022 Dodge Direct Connection Grudge Match

Are you ready for a rematch? We’re welcoming back some of last year’s Grudge Racers for a chance at redemption. Or for Alex Taylor, a chance to go 2-0 against a field of impressive talent that includes some new faces, familiar to the automotive faithful. In a new twist this year, competitors will use Direct Connection parts to build their own drag-race machine under a tight deadline before bringing it to Woodward to go head-to-head on the strip. Direct Connection parts available as “building blocks” for competitors will include the Hellcrate Redeye 6.2L Supercharged Crate HEMI^® engine and a plug-and-play Hellcrate Redeye 6.2L Supercharged Crate HEMI Engine Control Unit (ECU). With a small budget for parts and a deadline for a public grudge match, the builds are on for one hell of a race.

Tune in for the showdown at MotorTrend Presents Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge on Saturday, August 13, 2022, at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, MI, or livestreamed right here on DodgeGarage.
