===Cars===
===''Cars''===
Bob Cutlass is a world renowned sports announcer. He's covered every sporting event from tractor pulls to monster truck rallies, including the last three Olympic games, but he's most famous for teaming up with former Piston Cup racer [[Darrell Cartrip]] to announce Piston Cup racing on the [[RSN|Racing Sports Network]]. Bob Cutlass is the voice of reason to Darrell's enthusiastic color commentary. Bob is also the host of Sunday night's TV staple "[[America's Funniest Sports Utility Vehicles]]."
[[File:Cars darrell cartrip.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Bob announcing with Darrell at the Dinoco 400.]]
In ''[[Cars]]'', Bob is announcing in the Piston Cup with [[Darrell Cartrip]]. After [[Lightning McQueen]], [[Chick Hicks]] and [[The King]] result in a three-way tie, Bob and Darrell cannot believe their eyes and are excitedly trying to decide on a winner. Both also appear at the [[Los Angeles International Speedway]], commentating on the tie-breaker race. When Lightning pushes The King to the finish line after he forfeits the win to a victorious, Chick Hicks, Bob questions whether or not the performance was against the rules, but Darrell dismisses it, saying that Lightning is giving him a bump draft.


Bob Cutlass' only appearance was in [[Cars]], announcing in the Piston Cup with Darrell Cartrip. It is assumed that he retired from the Piston Cup, so he could continue his announcing career on other shows such as the TV show "America's Funniest Sports Utility Vehicles" and monster truck rallies.
===''Cars: Fast as Lightning''===
In the beta version of ''[[Cars: Fast as Lightning]]'', Bob and Darrell appear in the skyboxes above the bleachers on [[Lightning's Track]], announcing the races. However, they do not appear in the final version.

Bob returns in ''[[Cars 3]]'', and once again announces Piston Cup races with Darrell Cartrip. During the [[Dinoco Light]] 350, at the [[Motor Speedway of the South]], he and Darrell talk about how Lightning McQueen, [[Bobby Swift]], and [[Cal Weathers]] seem to have a lot of fun on the track. During the [[Florida 500]], he and Darrell are surprised when [[Cruz Ramirez]] enters the track from pit row instead of Lightning.
