A one-hour special focused on the SEMA Battle of the Builders® competition will premiere on Velocity February 1, 2016. Filmed throughout the week of the SEMA Show and culminating at SEMA Ignited, SEMA Battle of the Builders® is the ultimate competition for vehicle builders. The television special, hosted by “Overhaulin’s” Chris Jacobs and Adrienne Janic, features behind-the-scenes footage of the competition and never-before-seen coverage of the judges who narrowed the field down from more than 200 entries.

The winner of the competition was announced Friday evening, November 6, 2015, at SEMA Ignited—the official SEMA Show after-party—in front of a crowd more than 15,000 strong at the main stage in the Gold Lot across the street from the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Introduced at the SEMA Show last year, the SEMA Battle of the Builders® competition began with more than 200 vehicle builders and car customizers entering 260 custom cars competing for the coveted title of Top Builder. Builders who made it to the Top 10 round of competition selected amongst themselves the Top Builder. Production teams were on-site to film various television programs that will air nationwide early next year.
