'Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge' is Back and Bigger Than Ever; Additional Stop Added for 2016

  • Pop-up car festival and drag racing #event expands to include Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., and Woodward Cruise Week in Pontiac, Mich.
  • High-octane events promise grudge-match drag racing, SRT Hellcat and Viper thrill rides, show cars, celebrity appearances, live music and more
  • The stakes are raised this year as TEN: The Enthusiast Network is giving away cash prizes to drivers of #dodge cars who finish in first, second, third and fourth place at each event
May 17, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The #dodge brand is again sponsoring TEN: The Enthusiast Network to expand “Roadkill Nights Powered by #dodge,” the popular drag racing #event and pop-up car festival, which will be even bigger and better for 2016.
 
Following a hugely successful launch during the Woodward Cruise Week near Detroit last year, even more muscle is being put behind Roadkill Nights, expanding to two cities in 2016. Stops this year include the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., June 18, and the Woodward Cruise Week in Pontiac, Mich., Aug. 19. Screaming fast eighth-mile times will be rewarded, as TEN will give cash prizes to drivers of #dodge cars who finish in first, second, third and fourth place at each #event (details at Roadkill.com/Events).
 
“When more than 10,000 performance enthusiasts flooded the gates at the first ‘Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge’ #event at last year’s Woodward Cruise Week, we promised the #event would be back, and it is,” said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Car Brands — #dodge, SRT, Chrysler and Fiat, FCA — North America. “Even more than a pure enthusiast #event filled with drag racing, thrill rides and live music, Roadkill Nights gets people off the streets and onto a track run by professionals, so they can really show how their hot rods perform in a more controlled environment.”
 
The first #event kicks off in Kansas City, Kan., on Saturday, June 18, from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. The Sunflower State’s first hot rod, pop-up car festival and drag racing #event will take place on Pit Road at the Kansas Speedway. Additional activities include:
  • Open-run drag racing with a manufacturers’ midway
  • Dodge Thrill Rides, which give participants the opportunity to ride along with professional drivers in new SRT Hellcat and Viper vehicles
  • Show ’n’ Shine area
  • Live music
  • Food trucks
  • Premium giveaways

Kansas City Registration
General admission to the #event is free for spectators. Participants may register a vehicle for drag racing and the Show ’n’ Shine at Roadkill.com/Events. Pricing is as follows:
  • Drag Racing: $50 per vehicle, all makes are welcome
  • Show ’n’ Shine: FREE
  • VIP Packages: $150 per person and includes one spot to compete in the drag race, personal meet and greet with Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger, photo opportunities and a VIP swag bag
