What Is RaceWorz and Why Is It So Popular?

If you've ever typed “what is RaceWorz?” or searched for popular US car events, you've probably come across the name—and for good reason. RaceWorz has become more than just a car show; it’s a full-on movement rooted in community, culture, and shared passion.

Founded in 2013 by Matt Chilcote, Marshall Angel, and Wayne Chan, RaceWorz was built from the ground up by real car enthusiasts for car enthusiasts. What started as a humble local event in Sacramento has grown into one of the most respected and authentic automotive festivals in the United States.

? From Street Meets to Global Recognition

The beauty of RaceWorz lies in its humble beginnings. Matt, Marshall, and Wayne were just three guys who loved cruising, racing, wrenching, and vibing with others who shared the same automotive DNA.

In Matt Chilcote’s own words:

“We wanted to unify the community—drag racers, drifters, show cars, old-school and new-school—and give them one place to come together. A true hybrid event.”

What makes RaceWorz different from other car shows is its dynamic format: it’s part drag race, part drift show, part car meet, and all heart. That’s what fans and participants alike keep coming back for year after year.

Why RaceWorz Resonates With the Automotive Community

RaceWorz is not just an event—it’s an experience. Attendees describe it as the “Fast & Furious of real life” where every Brian, Dom, Letty, and Jesse has a place. Whether you're a die-hard racer, an audio build fanatic, or just there for the vibes, there’s something for everyone.

At events like RaceWorz Sonoma 2025, fans saw:

• A full Liberty Walk GTR
  

• A Pandem Supra
  

• A classic '67 Mustang
  

• Electric Dragsters running sub-7s
  

• A Kevlar Silvia lighting up the drift track
  

It’s that diversity, that genuine love for car culture, that keeps the crowds coming—and smiling.

Matt Chilcote: The Passion Behind the Purpose

When talking about RaceWorz, the name Matt Chilcote comes up often—and for good reason. His passion for cars runs deep, influenced by his late father who introduced him to the car world at a young age. Matt’s story is one of purpose and emotion, which fuels the entire event’s soul.

“My dad worked the front gate of every RaceWorz event until he passed. Seeing dads and kids together at our events now—it’s emotional. This is how I honor him.”

That raw authenticity is why people trust RaceWorz. It’s personal. It’s heartfelt. And it’s real.

The Secret Sauce: Unity and Inclusion

At its core, RaceWorz thrives on unity. Co-founder Wayne Chan puts it perfectly:

“In a world so divided, RaceWorz is a reminder of what brings us together—passion for cars, creativity, and community.”

And it’s not just lip service. RaceWorz intentionally fosters an inclusive environment for all walks of life—regardless of background, build, or beliefs.

From lowriders to tuners, muscle to JDM, audio monsters to full-track weapons—everyone has a space at RaceWorz.

Bigger Plans, Brighter Future

RaceWorz isn’t slowing down anytime soon. With plans to expand to new states and even possibly introduce circuit racing, the future is as exciting as the turbo spool on a cold start.

Events like RaceWorz Famoso 2025 are setting the bar even higher with plans for expanded drift series (CarNVL), more vendors, more competition categories, and more ways for fans to get involved.
