Day 2
Redneck Race Night
Thursday
March 11, 2027
Pull up to Mustang Week Redneck Race Night, where fast Fords, bad decisions, and questionable fashion all share the same gate. The first 500 fans through it score a free mullet, bandana, or koozie — pick your weapon.
Once you’re in, the night belongs to horsepower. Drift exhibitions fill the lot with tire smoke, or strap in for a ride-along and feel it from the passenger seat. Out on the strip, it’s all-Ford drag racing: True Street and Test & Tune. Spectator drags and fun runs hit the oval.
Between rounds, the inaugural Redneck Games make their debut, and the Street Burnout Contest rewards whoever turns the most rubber into smoke. Food and drinks keep you fueled all night.

Mustang Week rolls into Fabulous Fords Friday, the cruise-in where every Ford is welcome and more than 800 of them are expected to show. Fox bodies, Coyotes, trucks, Lightnings, Broncos — if it’s got a Blue Oval, it belongs here.
While the lot fills up, drift exhibitions keep the smoke rolling, and the Drift Battle pits drivers against each other door to door. Want it louder? Grab a drift ride-along and ride shotgun through every slide.
On the dyno, cars strap down to put real numbers on the board, and the Dyno Contest crowns whoever makes the most power. Vendors line the grounds with parts and gear, and the Mustang Week merch tent is open all day.
