SEMA Launch Pad, the automotive aftermarket product-pitching competition, will be featured on a nationwide television special premiering on April 15 on the History Channel, SEMA officials announced.

“2022 was the first year the SEMA Launch Pad was introduced to a nationwide television audience, and the response was fantastic,” said RJ de Vera, VP of Marketing at SEMA. “We are excited to once again have the potential life-changing competition showcased on the History Channel. Viewers will be amazed and inspired with each contestants’ innovation and perseverance. It’s the American dream unfolding right in front of your eyes.”
