Sunday’s episode of DIY Network’s makeover show Man Caves brought hosts Jason Camerson and Tony “The Goose” Siragusa together with racing star Jimmie Johnson and his brother, Jarit. The Johnson brothers asked Man Caves to build a custom Father’s Day garage for their dad, Gary.

The episode documents the transformation of a typical suburban garage into a man cave that would make any father proud. Complete with a pool table, underground motorcycle lift, flat screen television, RaceDeck floor and a new Victory motorcycle the ultimate man cave was accomplished.

The install included RaceDeck Diamond and RaceDeck XL tiles which both have a high-tech, diamond plate pattern for a contemporary look and added traction. They are a very popular alternative to traditional epoxy or paint solutions.

Jeremiah Shapiro, RaceDeck’s representative at the shoot, said the installation took about four hours and added “It’s amazing to see what the Man Cave producers came up with for this makeover, the underground motorcycle lift was amazing! We’re always happy when our products are a part of such creative projects.”

The Father’s Day Special episode of Man Caves aired Sunday, June 20 at 9pm EST.
