Gearheads and performance lovers are receiving a much
anticipated invitation: the seventh edition of MotorTrend Presents
Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge is set for Saturday, August 13, 2022, when legal street drag
racing will roar back to life on metro Detroit's famed Woodward Avenue.
The announcement opens another garage door of the Dodge Never
Lift plan, which provides a 24-month road map to the brand's
performance future. More information on the Never Lift campaign is

MotorTrend Presents Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge, first held
in 2015, is a one-day car culture festival that, in addition to
legal street racing, offers a full slate of fan activities,
including Dodge thrill and drift rides, Dodge driving simulators, a
classic and modern muscle car show and much more. The 2021 edition
attracted more than 38,000 enthusiasts to M1 Concourse in
Pontiac, Michigan.
"We are marking the seventh year of Roadkill Nights because of
the passion of our enthusiasts, who have turned out by the tens of
thousands year after year to join us in an annual celebration of
all things high performance," said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand CEO -
Stellantis. "We can't wait to return to Woodward with our friends
from MotorTrend."
"If you've ever dreamed of watching street-legal drag racing
down Woodward Avenue, come to our event! It's going to be an
absolutely epic day and night," said Eric
Schwab, MotorTrend Group's group SVP, head of revenue and
partnerships. "Going seven years strong, the event has something
for everyone. Whether you're a drag racer, car enthusiast or
looking for a fun day to spend with family, Roadkill Nights
promises a dynamic experience."
Last year's popular online automotive builder showdown, won last
year by Alex Taylor, will return for
2022 with a new twist. Dodge Direct Connection Grudge Race
competitors will use Direct Connection parts to build their own a
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).
Dodge Power Brokers dealers, the exclusive source for Direct
Connection performance parts with staff trained to deliver a
performance-focused customer service experience, will work with
competitors to provide the Direct Connection parts. The full lineup
of Dodge Direct Connection Grudge Race competitors will be
announced next month.
Roadkill Nights is an event produced by ROADKILL, a brand of
MotorTrend Group, with a hit show that delivers a one-of-a-kind
taste of "Automotive Chaos Theory" on MotorTrend+ and MotorTrend
TV.
