Guests of the 2023 Carlisle Chrysler Nationals can not only see the rides that drive their passion, but they can also experience it first-hand from the company that produces them too.  Just announced, Dodge returns to Carlisle with a great display planned for the Manufacturers Midway, PLUS they’ll put the wheels in motion to showcase the true power of Dodge with thrill rides on the Carlisle track.

This year’s Chrysler car show at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds is July 14-16 and when the gates open at 7 a.m., everyone who treks to Carlisle can experience the massive midway display from Dodge, plus enjoy their wildly popular thrill rides.  In addition, product experts from Dodge will be on hand to talk shop at their display; better-helping guests learn more about the brand.

Thrill Rides on the track are FREE for onsite guests who have visited the aforementioned midway showcase.  The rides are unlike anything most guests will have ever experienced and they’ll be piloted by a team of professional drivers.  This element of Dodge’s involvement has proven to be one of the most popular programs over the past ten years at Carlisle.  Riders must be at least 48’ tall and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Chrysler weekend topped the 3,000-show car mark for the first time ever last year and anticipates a similar turnout in 2023.  In fact, pre-registration numbers are trending higher than any total ever for Chrysler Nationals weekend.  Featured vehicle displays include those focused on the Malaise Era, high school Mopars, 50 Years of 1973 models, and even a general featured vehicle showcase, which highlights some of the best of the best within the hobby. 

There are also guests including Linda Vaughn, the Missile Group, Paul Rossi, Butch Leal, Dave Rea, Claudia - Miss Direct Connection 1984, the Ramchargers, Golden Commandos, Herb McCandless, and more.

Cars and guests aren’t the only draws, as the event hosts a massive automotive flea market.  This year’s automotive flea market footprint is sold out, meaning those looking for OEM or NOS parts and accessories should look no further than Carlisle because if it’s not here, it’s not anywhere.  The thousands of flea market spaces will host hundreds of vendors and millions of items, all for sale by the owner and direct to the consumer. 

In fact, the early bird gets the worm, with a Thursday, July 13 early bird shopping opportunity.  While admission and parking charges apply on the 13th and there is no car show or midway activities taking place, the setup day doubles as a chance for shoppers to browse the automotive flea market for the items they are looking for prior to the massive influx of guests for the event itself starting the 14^th.
