Stellantis’ Dodge program is bringing the Direct Connection Grudge Match finals to the Mopar NHRA Las Vegas Nationals on October 31, featuring modified SIXPACK-powered Charger Scat Pack cars. The competition has a clear Michigan origin: the SIXPACK Charger series began in August at Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge on Woodward Avenue in Pontiac, where street-legal drag racing produced the finalists now headed west.
The matchup spotlights dealer-backed builds of the Charger Scat Pack running Dodge’s SIXPACK configuration, and the stakes include a prominent showing— the winning vehicle will be included in the Mopar display at the 2026 SEMA Show, November 3–6. That tie into SEMA gives the regional Roadkill Nights event a national showcase and connects grassroots Michigan street-driven competition to the aftermarket industry’s premier trade event.
For Michigan enthusiasts, the story underscores how Woodward Avenue gatherings can feed into factory-backed promotional programs and major national events. What’s known next is the date and venue of the final (October 31 at the Las Vegas Nationals) and the SEMA display outcome; specifics on entrants, results, and the winning build will be determined at the finals.
