Cartel Takeover is not designed to be a typical car show or a casual cruise-in. Instead, it is a focused, high-energy takeover that celebrates the grind behind serious builds and the people who bring them to life. Set at Grove Cartel Brewing Company, the venue will be transformed into a full automotive hub where attention to detail and authenticity take center stage.
From the moment the lot fills up, attendees can expect a strong lineup of well-built cars, each representing countless hours of work and dedication. DJs will provide the soundtrack for the night, keeping the energy consistent throughout the event. Food and drinks will be available on-site, making it easy for guests to settle in and enjoy the atmosphere. Trophies will be awarded to standout vehicles, adding a competitive edge while still keeping the focus on respect and appreciation for the craft.
The event runs from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM on August 25 at Grove Cartel Brewing Company, located at 211 North Main Street in China Grove. Taking place during Mustang Week 26, Cartel Takeover offers a perfect midweek option for enthusiasts in the Charlotte and Concord areas who are looking for something more intentional than a standard parking lot meet. Whether pulling up in a fully built car or coming to take in the scene, the takeover welcomes anyone who values genuine car culture.
Special guests are still being finalized, with Vinny Giglio listed as a potential attendee, though not fully confirmed at the time of writing. The car club Mustangs With Attitude is also expected to be part of the night, with additional guests and features currently in progress.
Behind the scenes, Coyote Cartel continues to build its reputation as a community-driven automotive brand focused on substance over trends. What began as a group of like-minded enthusiasts has evolved into a platform centered on quality events, strong visuals, and respect for the work it takes to build something meaningful. As promoters, their objective is straightforward: create well-organized environments where serious builds, good energy, and genuine connections come first.
Coyote Cartel is about more than cars alone. It is about the people behind them and the community that forms when passion and respect intersect. Every event is designed to strengthen those connections, highlight craftsmanship, and give enthusiasts a space to show up, show out, and be part of something bigger.
Additional announcements, special features, and surprises will be revealed as the event approaches. For now, the message is clear.
Pull up right.
