==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Despite the die-cast release of the Sputter Stop veteran in ''Cars 3'' being named "Murray Clutchburn", Murray resembles a third generation NASCAR vehicle, whereas the ''Cars 3'' racer resembles either a fourth or fifth generation NASCAR vehicle. The same mistake happens with the die-cast releases of the [[Gasprin]], [[Shiny Wax]], [[Bumper Save]], [[Spare Mint]] and [[Lil' Torquey Pistons]] racers from ''Cars 3'', being mistaken for [[Floyd Mulvihill]], [[Darren Leadfoot]], [[Ponchy Wipeout]], [[Ernie Gearson]], [[Dirkson D'Agostino]] and [[Ralph Carlow]]. The racers in ''Cars 3'' aren't similar to the ''Cars'' racers who raced for the same teams, thus meaning that the ''Cars'' racers either retired prior to ''Cars 3'' or went through some sort of plastic surgery''.''

*While in ''Cars'' and ''Cars 3'' he has grey eyes, his [[Mattel Disney Pixar Cars|1:55 scale diecast]] toy model depicts him with brown eyes.
