Dodge and Radford Racing School extend their partnership with Radford continuing as the Official High-Performance Driving School of Dodge. The school is currently gearing up to add a new 600-horsepower classroom in 2027: the Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition, school officials said in a press release.
Track Training Included With Eligible Dodge Purchases
The multiyear partnership extension delivers owners of eligible Dodge Charger and Durango models, including the 550-horsepower SIXPACK-powered Charger Scat Pack and the 710-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, a one-day high-performance driving experience. Training includes classroom instruction, hands-on performance and safe-driving techniques, as well as in-depth instruction on specific Dodge vehicle performance features, such as Launch Control and Line Lock.
The new 600-horsepower Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition muscle cars are scheduled to begin arriving at dealerships early next year, with a day of high-performance driving and instruction at Radford Racing School included as part of the vehicle purchase.
“Dodge builds performance. Radford helps our owners put it to work,” said Matt McAlear, Dodge CEO. “With dedicated track time and professional coaching, Charger and Durango owners can sharpen their skills and learn to make the most of their vehicles in a safe, controlled environment. And when the new 600-horsepower Dodge Charger Super Bee hits dealer lots early next year, Radford will be ready for both owners and enthusiasts to experience the most power-dense muscle car on the track, for which it was designed, engineered and built.”
“We’re pleased to extend our sponsorship with Dodge as the Official High-Performance Driving School of Dodge,” said Chuck Sundstrom, general manager of Radford Racing School. “Together with Dodge, we’ve created experiences for automotive enthusiasts that go far beyond learning to drive fast; we’re helping drivers build confidence and develop advanced skills while exploring the full capabilities of Dodge performance vehicles in a safe, controlled environment. We look forward to welcoming more Dodge owners and performance fans alike to our historic racetrack in Chandler, Arizona.”
