Roadkill Nights Celebrates 10 Years With New Dodge Muscle, Drag Racing Pontiac

Dodge is celebrating the 10th edition of MotorTrend Presents Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge on August 9, 2025, in downtown Pontiac, Michigan, marking a decade of high-performance automotive festivities. The event will feature the public debut of new Dodge vehicles, including the next-generation Dodge Charger muscle cars and the all-electric 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, with opportunities for attendees to experience Thrill and Drift Rides. Street-legal drag racing on Woodward Avenue remains a highlight, featuring NHRA stars Matt Hagan and Leah Pruett performing burnouts in 12,000-horsepower Dodge drag cars, alongside the Direct Connection Grudge Race with online automotive personalities competing using Dodge crate engines. The Ram brand will showcase its Ram 1500 NASCAR concept truck, Raminator Monster Truck, and special builds, while celebrity appearances by blues rock guitarist and Mopar enthusiast Kenny Wayne Shepherd, who will perform the national anthem, and MotorTrend personalities add to the entertainment. For those unable to attend, the event will be livestreamed on YouTube and Dodge platforms. This celebration underscores Dodge's ongoing commitment to muscle car culture and performance, highlighted by recent dragstrip showdowns where a modified Hellcat Black Ghost set the night's quickest quarter-mile time at 8.69 seconds, surpassing even the powerful Demon 170 models.
