Champ Car becomes 90mph street-line painter.

If the California Department of Transportation had Jesse James and his band of renegade car builders from the Discovery Channel's mega-hit series Monster Garage on their staff, every highway line in the entire Golden State could be re-done in about two days.

James and his Monster Garage crew accepted the challenge of turning a Champ Car into a working street-line painter for an upcoming installment of the popular program, which is the second-highest rated show of all cable series among males 18-49. The crew took a former Walker Racing Champ Car chassis and transformed it into the world's fastest street-line painter, successfully demonstrating it at the Irwindale Speedway oval in Irwindale, California earlier this week.

The crew included Rocketsports Racing team owner and potential Champ Car World Series owner Paul Gentilozzi, who flew to James' California shop last month to help oversee the design and production of the car as well, while PK Racing engineer John Ward was on hand to supervise the demonstration phase of the project. The car ended up turning laps around the half-mile Irwindale track at over 90 mph with James behind the wheel, laying out perfect street lines.

The Champ Car, which squared off against a traditional RoadLazer street-line painter during its demonstration, ran on short-oval racing tires such as those used at this year's Champ Car event at the Milwaukee Mile, which were provided to the show by Bridgestone.

The Champ Car episode, which is broadcast on Monday nights from 9-10 p.m. ET/PT, is slated to air November 24th on the Discovery Channel in the US.
