History

Cars

Not Chuck quits Lightning's team.

In Cars, Not Chuck first appears when McQueen is making a pit stop at the Motor Speedway of the South. McQueen declines getting tires and orders the crew to only give him gas before he drives back onto the track. Not Chuck, however, angrily tells him that he needs tires, to which McQueen doesn't listen. However, this causes him to burst his rear tires. After McQueen, The King and Chick Hicks tie in first place, Not Chuck and the pit crew are seen changing McQueen's tires while he is being interviewed by Kori Turbowitz. He then tells Not Chuck to get out of the way of a cameraman who is trying to get a view of McQueen's bolt sticker on his TV camera. Not Chuck becomes fed up with McQueen's snobbish attitude, and he and the rest of his team quit, with one last remark: "We quit, Mr. One Man Show!" and yelling “And my name is not Chuck!” after McQueen calls him Chuck. Not Chuck doesn't appear in the film again, it's unknown what became of Not Chuck and his colleagues after leaving McQueen's team, although they probably either retired, or found a new job.

Cars: Race-O-Rama

Not Chuck competing in a Guido Kart race.

In Cars: Race-O-Rama, Not Chuck is an unlockable playable character that can be used Guido Kart races, a game mode that is for microcars and pitties only. Not Chuck is still wearing his Rust-eze paint job and decals, despite quitting McQueen's team four years prior (though it’s possible that he still works for Rust-eze and only quit the racing team).

General information

Physical description

Not Chuck has been depicted as a stout, wide 2003 Nemomatic forklift in all of his appearances. He is painted almost entirely red, some notable exceptions being the number 95 located on his door and cap, as well as his lightning bolt design on each side of his cap. Attached to his front are grey forklift arms, useful for lifting and carrying items.

Personality and traits

He has been portrayed with a very grouchy persona, often shouting cranky remarks at other racers in Cars: Race-O-Rama. One of his pet peeves is when people call him by the wrong name, specifically "Chuck".

Official profiles

Car Finder Game

  • His name is Not Chuck, not Chucky, not Chuck-meister, not Chaz, not Chet, not Charlie and not Charles. He's a firm believer that a racer is only as good as his tires are fresh, so his motto is, "Change them early and change them often."

Meet the Cars

  • His name is not Chuck, not Chucky, not Chuckmeister, not Chaz, not Chet, not Charlie, and not Charles. He's a firm believer that a racer is only as good as his tires are fresh, so his motto is, "Change them early and change them often."

Trivia

  • Him being called ‘Chuck’ is because of McQueen’s old crew chief Chuck who he found disagreeable.
  • According to Mattel's Die-cast Character Asst Deco Approval of Not Chuck, his actual name is "Tough Guy".
  • Intentional or not, he is similar to other characters who are red and have anger issues like the chocolate mascot Red from the m&m's series, and Red from Larva (despite Cars predating the latter), they even have similar voices, also Red (from Larva) also has some orangish yellow on his body which Not Chuck does have, and both of them have similar faces and the same eye color, their voices even sound similar to eachother when they get angry.
  • In the movie and on his diecast, his eyes are brown. However, the image on the diecast packaging has him with blue eyes.
  • Despite being shown in the 2009 collectors guide for the Race-O-Rama cars diecast line, he was never released that year.
    • He was however, released in the Race-O-Rama hauler set with Lightning McQueen and Mack without any of the accesories, the set would be reused for the Piston Cup Nights series a year later, but it became the only team not to receive a pit crew set, due to McQueen not having a crew chief.
  • In Brazilian Portuguese versions of the movie, he was named . The name "Zé" is commonly used by Brazilians to refer an unknown person.
  • In Russian versions of the movie, he was named Газик (Gazik) after the GAZ-67 car commonly called gazik.
    • In Italian versions of the movie, he was named "Ciccio" meaning "little fat guy" although this nickname is used to call people who don't have a name.
  • He is the only pitty of McQueen's original team to ever be released as a diecast.
  • Despite being one of the 3 Piston Cup pitties to have the most releases, alongside Luke Pettlework and Bruiser Bukowski, his die-cast is a bit rare and hard to obtain.
