Fred is truly racing's number-one fan. Some cars have better wax jobs, or attached bumpers, but do they have the heart and dedication Fred has? Not a chance. Between Fred's racing blogs, podcast, websites and daily call-ins to numerous radio shows, it's amazing Fred has time to get to any actual races.

Between Fred's racing blogs, podcast, websites, and daily call-ins to numerous radio shows, it's amazing Fred has time to get to any actual races. Everybody knows his name because his license plate holder and license plate says "FRED", respectively.
In [[Cars]], Fred is seen in the [[Rust-eze]] tent at the [[Motor Speedway of the South]], happy due to the fact that [[Lightning McQueen]] "knows his name" even though it is printed on his license plate. He got excited, and his front bumper fell off. The same situation happened with [[Mario Andretti]] at the [[Los Angeles International Speedway]], where Mario said his name, and he got even more excited and happily told a [[Marco Axelbender|security guard]], "Mario Andretti knows my name!" after the police won't let him in because he didn't have a garage pass. Fred said that it was okay, because Lightning knew him. At the end of the film, Fred is seen hopping up and down in the main road of [[Radiator Springs]], with tons of decals stickered onto him from [[Lizzie]]'s [[Radiator Springs Curios]] shop, and his bumper fell off again.
