The Lewis Showdown Is Back and Fayetteville’s Lot Is About to Get Loud
The 4th Annual Lewis Showdown Car Show takes over the Lewis Automotive Main Campus on Saturday, May 23, and if the past three years are any indication, you’re going to want to clear your morning. Car clubs are rolling in from across the region, the rivalry between Mopar and Ford faithful runs deep, and the All Makes crowd is ready to make a case for everyone else.

Pick a Side — or Don’t
This year’s featured clubs are the Modern Mopar Club of the Ozarks and NWA Pony Express, and both are bringing out some serious hardware. If your ride doesn’t fit neatly into either camp, there’s a spot for you too — Open Class and Best of Trucks are among the nine award categories up for grabs, alongside Best of Ford, Best of Mopar, Best of Jeep, Best of Show, Best of Modern, Most Original, and Best of Work-in-Progress. Car registration runs from 7:30 to 9:00 AM, so if you’re entering a vehicle, plan to arrive early.
More Than Just Metal
You don’t need to own a classic to have a good time here. The Lewis Showdown brings out a live DJ, a Food Truck Village, a bounce house, face painting, and a balloon artist — enough to keep the whole family busy while you walk the lot. Door prizes and giveaways run every hour from 9:30 AM to noon, so there’s reason to stick around through the Awards Ceremony at 11:30.
Show Up and Give Back
Entry is free, and donations collected on-site go directly to the Arkansas Children’s Foundation. Lewis Automotive Group will match every dollar donated, so your contribution goes twice as far before you even leave the parking lot.
