Photo - Food Network
The 5th season of The Great Food Truck Race premieres on the Food Network tonight at 9pm ET/PT.  This season begins in Santa Barbara, California and goes all the way across the United States ending in Key West, Florida.  There will be eight food trucks with three team members each, and all of the competitors do not currently operate food trucks.  Every team is provided a food truck to begin the race, and the winning team gets to keep their truck as well as $50,000 to help start their business.

The teams competing for the season 5 title are: Beach Cruiser (Venice, Calif.) Chatty Chicken Truck (Chattanooga, Tenn.), Gourmet Graduates (Providence, R.I.), Let There Be Bacon (Cleveland), Lone Star Chuck Wagon (Houston), Madres Mexican Meals (Norwalk, Calif.), Middle Feast (Los Angeles) and Military Moms (Fort Drum, N.Y.).

This season is seven episodes long and the stops along the race include: Santa Barbara, CA; Tucson, AZ; Austin, TX; Oklahoma City, OK; St. Louis, MO; Mobile, AL, and Tampa, Naples and Key West, FL.

As the food trucks advertise their locations on social media and local newspapers do stories on the race while it is filming, the order the food trucks are eliminated can be determined.  If you are interested in seeing which trucks are eliminated in each episode, and who the final two trucks are, continue reading.  Obviously it is a spoiler, but it just reveals the final two trucks and not the winner.
