FuelFest To Close Out 2022 Global Tour in Phoenix

Automotive Experience Hosted by Cody Walker Comes to Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park Dec. 10


PHOENIX – FuelFest is set to make its return to Phoenix for the second time on Saturday, Dec. 10 at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park (20000 S Maricopa Rd.) in Chandler, Ariz. just 15 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. FuelFest blends the enthusiast’s passion for the automotive world with celebrities, live music, food, art and more. The show will feature hundreds of custom, exotic, rare, and exclusive cars and trucks combined with live racing and interactive exhibits. 

 

Following successful shows across the nation and abroad, FuelFest brings the exhilarating experience to Phoenix as the seventh and final stop on the 2022 global tour. The action-packed event will feature a massive live-action drift course and Yokohama Festival Stage. Drift drivers will showcase their precision driving skills, swerving in and out of obstacles set along the course. The stage will feature live performances from Mvdness, Vincent, Alexcis and Arius throughout the day and into the night. Spectators can also expect numerous well-known sponsors, each set with interactive exhibits and booths. The Phoenix experience is gearing up to be even bigger and better than years past and will include the only stop on the tour to feature ¼ mile drag racing. The show will also combine tracks with Radford Racing School right next door giving fans the chance to get in go karts and drive on their famous kart track. In addition, FuelFest Phoenix will feature pro Formula Drift divers, a media stage with interviews and recognizable movie cars inside the Jada Toys Lounge where fans can see some of these recreations up close and chat with Team Jada onsite.

A portion of the event's proceeds benefits Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW), the non-profit charity founded by Paul Walker and continued by his brother, Cody Walker. The organization was founded in 2010 by the late actor/producer after a massive earthquake devastated Haiti and Walker was inspired to organize a relief team that responded to the disaster. ROWW’s mission is to fill the gap between the availability of skilled resources in post-disaster situations. As of 2021, ROWW has raised over $200,000 through its FuelFest events to benefit those in need.

“The entire FuelFest crew is really looking forward to the final show in Phoenix,” said Cody Walker, FuelFest co-founder and Reach Out WorldWide CEO. “We’ve seen such a passionate community in Phoenix in the past and we are ecstatic to have the chance to make our way back and celebrate car culture with the city again. Get your tickets now and I’ll see you on Dec. 10.”

In 2022, FuelFest made its way to West Palm Beach, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and across the ocean to Tokyo as the biggest car event to hit Japan. FuelFest will be announcing dates for the 2023 global tour during the live Phoenix event.

 

Gates for FuelFest Phoenix will open to the public from 1 to 8 p.m. on Dec. 10. Event information, car registration and tickets can be found now at www.FuelFest.com, as well as on social media channels, including FacebookInstagram and TikTok.

About Reach Out WorldWide

Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW) was founded in 2010 by the late actor/producer, Paul Walker. After a massive earthquake devastated Haiti, Paul spontaneously organized a relief team that responded to the disaster. On the trip, Paul saw a gap between the availability of skilled resources and the requirement for such personnel in post-disaster situations. Upon returning from Haiti, Paul established ROWW with the purpose of fulfilling this unmet need. Since Paul’s passing, ROWW continues to be a platform for like-minded individuals to make a difference in other people’s lives. It started as an idea and has transformed into a culture equally benefiting the volunteers as much as the people they are assisting. It’s turning the “I generation” into a “goodwill generation.” It’s giving good people not just a voice but a chance to act.
