Inside GM Nationals 2025 Carlisle – Epic Cars, Vendor Finds & Track Races!

The GM Nationals at Carlisle, happening June 20–21, 2025, is one of the largest gatherings of General Motors vehicles on the East Coast. Hosted at the Carlisle Fairgrounds in Pennsylvania, the event brings together nearly 1,000 GM cars—from classic Tri-Five Chevys to modern Camaros, Corvettes, and Cadillacs—sprawled across the massive National Parts Depot Showfield. Attendees can enjoy judged shows, club displays, and featured indoor showcases celebrating iconic models like the Chevelle, Pontiac GTO, and Buick Grand National. Awards include Celebrity Choice picks and specialty class honors. At the grandstands, the atmosphere turns electric with themed entertainment like the RADlisle party—a celebration of 1980s and ’90s GM culture complete with a DJ, throwback music, and a Days of Thunder movie screening. NHRA legend Bruce Larson’s Nitrofest demonstration delivers raw horsepower and earth-shaking sound, offering a taste of drag racing madness right on the fairgrounds. For those craving action, track events like autocross and burnout contests give showgoers a chance to push GM performance to the limit. There are ride-alongs, amateur competition runs, and even Real Street Shootout sessions—making the event more than just a static display. Shopping is a big part of the weekend too. The vendor midway and swap meet are packed with performance parts, collectibles, and restoration supplies. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your project car or find rare GM memorabilia, you’ll find something here. The Car Corral features over 150 GM vehicles for sale, ranging from unrestored survivors to show-ready classics. Beyond the cars, the event includes how-to seminars, tech clinics, kids’ zones, guest services, and accessible amenities like shuttle service, scooter rentals, nursing rooms, and even on-site notary services for car sales. The GM Nationals runs Friday and Saturday from 7 AM to 6 PM. Tickets are $12 per day (kids 12 and under are free), with a weekend pass available for $20. Sunday is free for all.
