| His story: |
|---|
| "Larry and "R.M." are the best of friends: these two can usually be found raising Cain and takin' names on Redneck Hill. But despite their rowdy nature, they are true southern gentlemen, and dead serious when it comes to racing. They know the stats on every team, which is useful since they've always got a bet riding on who will be the next Piston Cup champion." |

Trivia
- RM's line "Well, dip me in axle grease and call me Slick!" is a joke on the old Harold Lloyd punch line "Step right up and call me speedy!" This is mostly originated in his hit silent film, The Freshman. Lloyd also made another film called Speedy, which may or may not have been a reference, as it was made three years after The Freshman.
- RM's first name, Doug, is a reference to Douglas Keever, the self-appointed mayor of Redneck Hill at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, who also voiced the character in the first Cars movie.
