"25 Days, 50 Cities, And More Than 600 Consecutive Hours As A Family" -- The tensions mount and every second counts as teams race towards the finish line and the $1 million prize, during the two-hour season finale of THE AMAZING RACE 8, Tuesday, December 13 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.

When one team can't find the entrance to the building that holds their next clue, they desperately try to run their vehicle through a locked door. Meanwhile, one family member struggles to complete a high flying Road Block while enduring constant ribbing from the sidelines. Every decision and every stroke of luck could make the difference between $1 million and second place as one family will be crowned the winner of THE AMAZING RACE 8.

For the first time, the teams who finish in second and third place during the two hour-season finale of THE AMAZING RACE 8 will also square off in one final challenge for the chance to win a brand new 2006 GMC Yukon XL. Video footage of the entire bonus mini-race will be streamed exclusively on CBS.com, the official website of the CBS Television Network, immediately following the West coast broadcast of the finale (11:00 PM, PT).

In the exclusive CBS.com bonus challenge, the second and third place winners of THE AMAZING RACE 8 will compete in a mini-race that will require teams to recall specific challenges and locations from this past season. The team who's first to complete the challenge correctly will drive away in their very own 2006 GMC Yukon XL.
