Official profiles
Die-cast Race-O-Rama "Meet My Friend" description
- Chief RPM is the brains behind the RPM race team. You can always spot him because he never takes his headphones off, so he can stay in constant communication with his team.
Pixarpedia
- The RPM team's crew chief works closely with Winford Rutherford. It's quite an advantage to have a driver who is an expert in physics.
Cars: Character Encyclopedia
- RPM crew chief was one of only three crew chiefs to be released as a single, along with No Stall crew chief and Fabulous Hudson Hornet.

Trivia
- Chief RPM is shown with two different physical appearances in Cars; he is colored yellow the first time he is seen in the film, whereas he is colored white throughout the other times he is seen.
- Additionally, his die-cast incorrectly depicts him as a Haulital Lugnutter. His actual model is a Capitol Motors Verve LX.
- His die-cast and artwork also depict him with yellow rims, as apposed to his movie-accurate blue rims.
- The same thing happens with Earl Filter the Leak Less crew chief.
- His die-cast prototype is depicted as a 2004 Capitol Motors Econ 6 YL 3.0 Liter, the same basis as Charlie Checker. It was featured at the San Diego Comic-Con 2008. The said image was originally considered lost media until it was finally found in March 2024.
- He shares the same model as the Fiber Fuel Crew Chief, Leak Less Crew Chief, and Tank Coat Crew Chief, albeit with different shaped grills and headlights.
