Host Tyler Florence gives the food trucks a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dash around Darlington Raceway in South Carolina and cook for NASCAR's Mamba Smith and Todd Gilliland. One team wins their first challenge but follows it up by making a shocking decision with devastating results. No one is prepared for the shocking outcome of this week's elimination.

The final three teams have no idea that host Tyler Florence is evaluating their food truck workflow in a secret surveillance challenge in Newport News, Va. He shuts the loser down for an hour, but his penalty comes with a silver lining. The top two teams both blow challenges they could have easily won, and one truck sets an all-time sales record.
