MotorTrend Presents Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge, now in its ninth year, is shifting gears, taking drag racing off Woodward and for the first time ever bringing the high-octane action inside the M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, on August 10.
The new location will deliver a fan-friendly spectator experience, including first-ever open, walkable pit areas to allow fans to interact with racers, and a viewing area that places event attendees closer to the drag racing action.
Also new for 2024, Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge attendees can participate in first-ever Dodge Hornet Rally Rides, with fans taking the passenger seat for hot laps around a specially built dirt-and-pavement rally course on the M1 Concourse.
The attractions inside M1 Concourse will include the worldwide debut of the all-new Dodge Charger Daytona, the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car, led by the Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack. The next-generation Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack will deliver 670 horsepower and is expected to reach 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds. Electrified models also include the 496-horsepower Dodge Charger Daytona R/T. The all-new Dodge Charger Daytona will be on display for enthusiasts to check out at the Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge horsepower festival. For more information on the Dodge Charger Daytona, visit Dodge.com.
Dodge will also debut the final performance character of the Dodge Charger Daytona’s Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system during an invite-only pre-event press conference scheduled for Friday, August 9, at M1 Concourse. The world’s first Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system delivers a signature rumble and tactile sound wave output that shatters preconceptions of a typical battery electric vehicle.
The press conference will also highlight competitors in the annual Direct Connection Grudge Race, the headline event during Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge.
