Porzio won Fallon's Fingers on a 4X4 competition Wednesday afternoon, the show announced.

Fallon recently announced that he was going to purchase a new Ford F-150 King Ranch and wanted to give Ford sales consultants across the nation a chance to win the opportunity to sell him the truck, so the late-night program started a hands-on competition this past Monday

"I picked out my truck but now I don't know where to get it, there's a lot of dealerships out there," Fallon said. "So I wanted to come up with a fun way of doing this so we're going to do a contest called 'Fingers on a 4X4'." Ten Ford sales consultants car from around the U.S. placed one hand on a Ford F-150 currently sitting on the U.S.S. Intrepid on the Hudson River in New York, and the action was live streamed across the nation.

Just after noon Wednesday, Porzio, dubbed #FrankfortPete in the competition, became the winner with a time of 38 hours and 52 minutes.

Here are a couple of links to video of the competition and announcement.
