Bowling Green is geared for hot rods!

15th Holley National Hot Rod Reunion... HOT ROD Power Tour... 6th Goodguys Nostalgia Nationals... Danchuk Tri-Five Nationals... NMCA Muscle Car Nationals... these are just a few of the big car events taking place in Bowling Green, Kentucky again in 2017! No wonder some folks call us Hot Rod City, USA instead of simply 'Vette City these days. And with the additional opportunities to burn rubber at the NCM Motorsports Park, we're quickly becoming the must-visit destination for auto buffs of all kinds.

If motorsports is your passion, drag racing is your addiction or restoration is your hobby, get your tail end to Kentucky this year and see why we're geared for hot rods! 

*The following events are all open to spectators and the general public. Some require registration. Dates and times are subject to change, please verify on event websites before traveling.
