"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE" HITS HISTORIC ROUTE 66 FOR CULINARY ROAD TRIP OF A LIFETIME FILLED WITH UNFORGETTABLE FOOD, ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS AND CHALLENGES

Hosted By Tyler Florence, Series Returns for Season Six on Sunday, August 23rd at 9pm ET/PT

NEW YORK - July 23, 2015 - The Great Food Truck Race is back for a sixth season this August with a brand-new fleet of fierce competitors cooking and traveling across America's most famous stretch of road, historic Route 66. In a return to the show's roots, the seven teams are professional food truck operators from around the country who are known regionally for their culinary talents and selling skills - and they are ready to be recognized from coast to coast. The 2,500-mile, food-filled road battle kicks off in Santa Monica, California then hits Sedona, Arizona and Santa Fe, New Mexico followed by tasty stops in Amarillo, Texas; Tulsa, Oklahoma and St. Louis, culminating with an epic finale in Chicago, where the winning truck is awarded a $50,000 cash prize. Hosted by Tyler Florence, the six-episode series premieres on Sunday, August 23rd at 9pm ET/PT.

"These skilled food truck entrepreneurs and our viewers are in for the road trip of their lives," said Bob Tuschman, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Food Network. "Their journey across historic Route 66 reflects food culture itself: fast, intense, creative and delicious."

This season's competitors are: Diso's Italian Sandwich Society (Brooklyn, New York), GD Bro Truck (Orange Country, California), Pho Nomenal Dumplings (Raleigh, North Carolina), Postcards (Los Angeles), Spice It Up (Phoenix), The Guava Tree Truck (Dallas) and Waffle Love (Provo, Utah).

In the first episode, Tyler welcomes seven teams of professional food truck owners to Santa Monica and immediately sends them on their first challenge: a race to sell $200 of their signature dish on Santa Monica Pier. After a head-to-head sales showdown, the teams embark on their epic journey down historic Route 66. Their first stop is Lake Havasu City, Arizona where after a blistering day of selling, Tyler gives the first Truck Stop Challenge. Each team must create their own take on a fish and chips dish, and the first team to sell 20 orders wins a cash prize. These food truck pros quickly learn this race is more than just another day in the kitchen and one team is sent packing. The race then follows Route 66 to Flagstaff and Sedona, Arizona; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Amarillo, Texas; Tulsa, Oklahoma; St. Louis; Springfield, Illinois and Chicago.
