The newest episode of “SEMA: Battle of the Builders” will air on A+E Networks’ History Channel on Sunday, February 7, at 9:00 a.m. (EST). You’ll be transported behind the scenes of the competition and see exclusive interviews with the builders that aren’t available anywhere else. Hear their stories, see their builds and watch as the judges choose their winner.
“Since the competition was introduced in 2014, the SEMA Battle of the Builders celebrates the products, companies and builders who have vehicles on display at the SEMA Show,” stated Ira Gabriel, vice president of marketing, PR and communications.
Starting with just over 125 entries in 2014, the pool of challengers has more than doubled with 300+ vehicles competing in 2020 during SEMA360.
Vehicles are judged according to their respective category, and include Hot Rod, Truck/Off-Road and Import/Sport Compact. In 2016, SEMA added the Young Guns category, which highlights and supports up-and-coming builders who are 27 years old or younger.
