History
Cars
In Cars, Mac is one of the thirty-six race cars that competes in the final race of the Piston Cup season at the Motor Speedway of the South. When Chick Hicks causes the big crash, he was also one of the cars damaged in the wreck. He spends most of the race behind Dale Earnhardt Jr., in around the 13th position. At one point in the race, The King overtakes him, and Mac finishes the race in 15th position.
Between Cars and Cars 3
Mac retired during the events between Cars and Cars 3 and was replaced by an unnamed racer. The Apple veteran racer eventually got fired and was replaced by J.P. Drive.
Physical description
Mac is an Axxelo Fission (a model that resembles the real life Chevrolet Impala SS NASCAR) that is painted white, with the Apple logo on his hood, and the number "84" painted in grey on his doors and roof.
Bio
- Mac iCar likes things clean and simple. He doesn't go for the flashy colors, and gaudy stickers that adorn some of his fellow racers. He prefers a simple sleek design, and feels this creates a bold statement, one that says, "I think different."[1]
