Now in its eighth year, Roadkill Nights will take place on August 12th, 2023, in downtown Pontiac, Michigan, at the corner of Woodward Avenue and West Pike Street. This family-friendly celebration of horsepower promises a day of adrenaline-filled enjoyment. As a matter of fact, on August 3rd, 2023, MotorTrend Presents Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge announced that award-winning musician and actor, Ice Cube, will headline the event with an evening performance. 

To clarify, Dodge is celebrating the “Last Call” for its Hemi-powered 2023 Dodge Chargers and Challengers, but the occasion underscores both classic and modern muscle cars. Roadkill Nights originally began as part of the Detroit area’s Woodward Dream Cruise classic car celebration but now takes place the weekend before the Dream Cruise.

Let the Revelry Commence

The festivities will kick off at 10:00 a.m. EDT with a wide array of activities to thrill and entertain participants of all ages. The “Direct Connection Grudge Race” marquee event will display a street-legal drag racing competition where attendees will unleash the power of their muscle cars. It is worth noting that Dodge often refers to the week around the Dream Cruise as Speed Week. 

Throughout the 2022 model year, the automaker made several announcements about the “Last Call” 2023 Chargers and Challengers. In addition, Dodge revealed its highly anticipated electric muscle car concept dubbed the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT, along with announcing its Hornet plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. 

In 2023, enthusiasts can also delight in a classic and modern muscle car cruise-in, uplifting Dodge Hellcat Thrill Rides and experience the all-new Dodge Hornet drive. For those seeking a genuine drag racing experience, Dodge Demon drag race simulators will be available. Dodge fans can explore a number of Dodge vehicle displays, including the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Banshee Concept. 

Not only that, there will be product displays, RC car demonstrations, Direct Connection performance parts, and a lively vendor midway. Guests can indulge in a wide lineup of culinary pleasures from food trucks, and beer gardens will be available for socializing and relaxation.

Interacting with Celebrities

Throughout the day, visitors will have the chance to come across celebrities from the entertainment and automotive industries who will make special appearances to share their adoration for automobiles and engage with fans. A focal point of the event will undoubtedly be the performance by hip-hop pioneer Ice Cube. He has constantly pushed boundaries and stayed true to his artistic vision. 

His performance at Roadkill Nights will surely reflect the same passion and dedication that have made him a household name. Headlining a night of burning rubber, he will take the main stage at 7:30 p.m. EDT, powering up the crowd with his charismatic stage presence and hit songs. The multifaceted performer will establish an unforgettable experience for the tens of thousands of gearheads in the metro Detroit area.
