CAR BOWLING AND SLIDING ON A CAR ROOF ARE JUST SOME OF THE OUTRAGEOUS DRIVING CHALLENGES ON THIS WEEK'S "CRASH COURSE"

"Episode 105" � Five new couples, including a pastor and his assistant, stylish friends, competitively-charged spouses, song & dance loving siblings and roommates, will compete on TV's most outrageous automotive reality show, "Crash Course," airing WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 (9:02-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Hosts Orlando Jones and Dan Cortese provide the roadside commentary from Detroit, MI where the series was shot.

Each week, five couples compete in the craziest most chaotic driving challenges ever seen. Teams get to "be the ball" in "Car Bowling," as they hurtle down the track, over the jump and into 15-foot tall bowling pins. In "Roof Slide," teams have to accelerate towards an inversion ramp which flips them up and over, and in "Tow Tow Your Boat," teams go head to head as they race backwards on a serpentine course littered with giant plywood fish and other obstacles while their car is hitched to a 20-foot boat. The couples compete against each other and are eliminated one by one as they battle through several challenges before facing off on the final "Crash Course" at the end of each episode to win the ultimate prize of $50,000. Teams include:

Co-Workers: Pastor Dave MacNeill, 43, from Denver, CO, and his assistant, Vira Matthews, 46, from Clovis, CA, both shed tears easily, and Vira threatens to make her boss cry while he's driving on "Crash Course." Pastor Dave has been trained in high-speed driving by the police.

Friends: April Williams, 27, from Long Beach, CA, and Daniel Dorsey, 21, from Neptune, NJ, also are known as "Team Fashionista." April met Daniel when she hired him to work at a shoe store. Daniel's afraid when she's behind-the-wheel; April says her prayers when she drives with him.

Spouses: Brett Johnson, 24, and his wife, Ashley Johnson, 25, both Michigan natives from Grand Rapids, say that some people find their competitive natures intimidating. But they believe they're just "doers" who tell it like it is. Both are "health nuts," and Ashley blows off steam by boxing.

Siblings: Michal Jackson, 23, and her brother, Aaron Jackson, 21, from Los Angeles, love to joke around and make up dances and songs. Big sister's opinion means so much to Aaron that he seeks Michal's approval about his girlfriends.

Roommates: Matt McDonald, 35, from Willits, CA, and Dan Lowman, 31, from Baltimore, MD, both play for what they've dubbed the "world's greatest flag football team." They're also big fans of "improv" comedy, which may inspire their frequent ribbing of each other.

The executive producers of "Crash Course" are Arthur Smith and Kent Weed for A. Smith & Co. Productions ("I Survived a Japanese Game Show," "Hell's Kitchen"), Rick Hurvitz and Bruce Beresford-Redman for MindCrime. The series is broadcast with Spanish subtitles via secondary closed captioning. A TV parental guideline will be assigned closer to airdate. For more information on "Crash Course," visit ABC.com.
