Chuck Armstrong is a professional race car who competed in the Piston Cup Racing Series. He is extremely allergic to certain types of fuels, and as a result, he has to stay at least five feet away from them. Because other Piston Cup racers used different kinds of fuels, Chuck became infamous among other racers for his allergies, causing other cars to be afraid to pass him.[1] Despite this, Chuck also has a reputation for being one of the toughest and most determined racers. In one season, while suffering from a worn-out clutch, Chuck managed to push through and bump-start himself enough to emerge victorious.[1]

Once the crash subsides, Tow is seen pulling Chuck away from the track, while he groans to his crew chief "Don't take me out, coach.
