A brand new competition series, Truck Night in America, is set to premiere on HISTORY on Thursday 8 March. The series will feature 50 competing truck owners taking on a number of gruelling challenges that will test their driving ability and ingenuity. The winner will receive a $10,000 dollar prize, along with the title of ‘Truck Night Champion’.

Each episode will feature five drivers and three challenges, each of which will test a different vehicle attributes. The drivers’ craftsmanship will also be tested between each challenge, when they are required to re-engineer their vehicles for the next challenge. In the grand finale, the two remaining drivers will take on a super-tough three-mile obstacle course named ‘The Green Hell’, which will involve unique challenges from a mountain of crushed cars to a snake-infested swamp.

Throughout the competition, the contestants will be assisted by four expert coaches: desert racing champion ‘Pistol’ Pete Sohren; extreme sports pioneer Glen Plake; truck builder and master fabricator Abe Wine, and rock crawling champion Rob ‘Bender’ Park.
