Trivia

• The concept art of Spikey was shown with thick eyelids, which caused many to believe he was actually female.
  • Some people today still believe Spikey to be female even after the name reveal. However, with a lack of biography for him and the other background Cars 3 racers and "Spikey" being a gender-neutral name, anyone could be right until Disney or Pixar confirms the gender which so far they haven't said a word on this debate as of 2023.
    • To back him up as male, his name resembles Sid Phillips, the main antagonist of Toy Story. However it's unknown if this is coincidence or intentional by Disney or Pixar.
