This article's title is conjectural.
Our editors have given an unofficial name to this subject, in absence of an authenticated one. If or when an official name is found, this page's title should be moved and this template discarded.

Racer 01 is a character in the The Rookie and the Cars comics. He is a muscle car who raced under the sponsorship of Rust-eze before suffering a career-jeopardizing crash and retiring. Lightning McQueen superseded him as the Rust-eze racer, beginning with the Beachside 500 at the Beachside Speedway.

He first started his racing career in the late 50s. When he was young, he and Darrell Cartrip enjoyed driving in the woods while smuggling moonshine oil. Sheriff often found them and tried to pursue them. He later moved to Radiator Springs, and at one point competed in the Radiator Springs Rally.

He resembles a 1967 Pontiac Firebird muscle car with a red and green livery.

Trivia

In some illustrations he is missing the Rust-eze logo on his hood. This could possibly be because of the fact that he stopped competing for Rust-eze after retiring.
He appeared as a racer when Doc tried rejoining the Piston Cup (likely late 50s and early 60s), however his model resembles a car from 1967.
