Truck Night in America (known outside of the US as Monster Motor Challenge) is a History Channel program that debuted in 2018.[2]

The show features five contestants per episode competing through a series of races with eliminations after each event. After the first elimination round, a selection process teams an expert coach to each remaining amateur driver. Once the elimination events have narrowed the contestant pool down to two, they race independently against one another on a three-mile course known as "The Green Hell." Whoever completes the course in the shortest amount of time wins $10,000. In the event that neither cross the finish line, the contestant closest to doing so is awarded the prize.[2]

In January 2019, coach "Pistol" Pete Sohren was killed in a UTV accident in Mexico, leaving a vacancy in the show.[3] The show was not renewed for a third season.
