This year’s race takes place on 19 August and is promoted as bigger with a new, larger location at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac. A total cash purse of $19,000 is at the finish line of a shortened 1/8 mile track.
 
“Woodward is one of (if not the) most famous ‘Muscle Car Corridors’ in the country. This, as far as we know, is the first time ever that street racing on it will be legal,” said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Cars, Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT – FCA, North America.

“Drag racers will be able to show their muscle when Woodward is closed from South Boulevard to Rapid Street in Pontiac to create what is sure to be an epic kick off to the weekend’s cruise events,” Kuniskis gushed.
