March 24-29, 2025 Marks Kick-Off of the Ford Mustang Car Show Season with ‘Ponies in the Smokies’
Don’t want to wait until National Mustang Day in April to take your Ford Mustang out to play? Then plan a road trip from March 24th through the 29th to attend one of the hottest shows to come on the scene in years. It’s called “Ponies In the Smokies,” and includes six days of Mustang fun -- cruising the beautiful Smoky Mountains, outdoor and indoor car shows (with 108,000 square feet of indoor show cars, vendors and special displays), plus Cruise-In and Shine Run parties, a BFG Driving School, Autocross and Drive-A-Longs by Gateway Mustang, Driving Experiences at Newport Speedway, a Drifting Exhibition and Ride-Alongs, a burnout competition, drag racing at Knoxville Dragway, plus a Car Corral, Swap Meet, Dyno Pulls and much more, including huge National Parts Depot car shows on Friday and Saturday.
You’ll notice that Ponies in the Smokies – otherwise known as “PITS” – features driving and not just showing, with the Shine Runs intended as leisure drives plus travel both ways on the famous “Tail Of The Dragon,” which is the name for US Highway 29’s 318 curves in just 11 miles (known as America’s top motorcycle and sports car driving road). Ford Performance Club Connect plans to be at both shows that weekend, so stop by our Meet-and-Greet tent and get a FREE Mustang poster just for saying hello, and also get a free Ford Performance wristband for visiting the adjacent Ford Special Vehicle Registry display to hear the benefits of registering your Mustang with Ford. It all happens at the Sevierville, Tennessee, Convention Center from Monday March 24 through Saturday, March 29. You can get all the info on show registration, lodging, the full schedule of events and more on the PITS website, https://poniesinthesmokies.com/
