Fallon has been tasked with selecting a lucky winner to drive home in a brand-new Ford following the main event.
The winner will get the choice of either a Bronco SUV, a F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid Truck, or a Mustang Mach-E SUV, per WYMT.
Fallon announced the promotion live on NBC’s The Tonight Show earlier this week.
He will be in attendance at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, where racegoers will need to dress to impress.
The 150th riding of the famous race will see runners and riders compete for a mammoth prize pot of $5million.
“Working with ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ at the 150th Kentucky Derby just feels right for Ford,” said Kelsey Ruder, brand experiences manager at the company.
“It’s about extending the conversation of the Derby all week long- bringing fun, style, and a bit of surprise to the mix.
“We’re excited to make some unforgettable experiences this weekend.”
Fallon has been busy in the world of sports already this week.
The New York native showed his support for the Knicks, who went up against the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 6 of their NBA playoff series on Thursday.
Why everyone loves the Kentucky Derby
Prior to the showdown, Fallon went viral after posting a hype video to his 27.1 million Instagram followers.
In the clip, the veteran comedian is seen lip-syncing along to Taylor Swift’s Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me.
Fallon rocked a Swift hoodie and sweatpants adorned with the logo of her new hit new album The Tortured Poets Department.
Wearing bright orange sunglasses, Fallon panned the camera down to show off custom-made Knicks Nike sneakers.
Travis Kelce’s next ring?
TRAVIS Kelce has three Super Bowl rings – and a psychic matchmaker reckons he could soon add an engagement ring.
Speaking to The U.S. Sun, the psychic claimed Kelce will soon propose to music megastar girlfriend Taylor Swift.
But she also predicted both would eventually be married twice.
“The stars are aligned for these two at the moment,” Deborah Graham told The U.S. Sun.
“I see the relationship moving forward, and I see it moving towards that next level.
“The difficulty is that I see two life paths for them and two rings – I see two marriages there for both of them.”
“Go Knicks!” he captioned the video, which has racked up over 200,000 likes.
“I need this fit asap,” gasped one fan in the comment section.
“Let’s go Knicks!” added another.
“Is she coming on the show?!” said a third.
New York advanced to the NBA Conference semifinals on Thursday night after securing a 4-2 series win over the Sixers.
Jalen Brunson top-scored 41 points as the Knicks fought back from a halftime deficit.
