FCA's Dodge division has announced that it will be expanding its "Roadkill Nights" event schedule by adding a second venue in 2016. The inaugural event was held in the Pontiac Silverdome parking lot as part of Dodge's participation in the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise.

"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."

Stops this year will include the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas and the Silverdome parking lot as part of the Woodward Cruise Week in Pontiac, Michigan.
