History

Cars

Dirkson leaving the pits.

In Cars, Dirkson is one of the thirty-six Piston Cup racers that compete in the Dinoco 400 at the Motor Speedway of the South. When Chick Hicks does a large wreck in hopes of distancing himself from Lightning McQueen, Dirkson is involved in the crash, where he is seen spinning out of control, and receives some light damage. However, he is able to continue racing after a pit stop.

Cars 3

In Cars 3, Dirkson competes in the 2016 Piston Cup season, against the likes of Lightning McQueen, Jackson Storm, and many others. However, Storm's successful debut influences other Piston Cup teams to consider hiring next-generation racers instead of their old ones. After finishing in eighth place at Copper Canyon Speedway, he becomes one of many traditional racers who are retired or fired and replaced by more powerful cars. Dirkson most likely retires and was replaced by a next generation racer named Steve LaPage.

Bio

• "Dirkson "Dirk" D'Agostino discovered his natural racing talent while working in the graphics department for a small racing outfit. Running errands between buildings he dodged all kinds of obstacles at insane speeds. One day Dirkson caught the eye of the race shop's owner, who fired the young upstart for what he considered reckless driving in the workplace, and rehired him as one of his pro racers, for what he considered a natural talent on the race track."
