Not Chuck is a red forklift that used to work on Lightning McQueen's racing team.

Bio

Cars

His name is Not Chuck, not Not Chucky, not Not Chuck-meister, not Not Chaz, not Not Chet, not Not Charlie and not Not Charles. He's a firm believer that a racer is only as good as his tires are fresh, so his motto is, "Change them early and change them often."

In Cars, Not Chuck was a forklift that worked for Lightning McQueen's team Rust-eze. He was serving as the temporary crew chief since the previous one was fired.

Not Chuck first appears when McQueen is making a pit stop at the Motor Speedway of the South. McQueen declines getting tires, and orders the crew to only give him gas before he drives back onto the track. Not Chuck, however, angrily tells him that he needs tires, to which McQueen doesn't listen. However, this causes him to burst his rear tires. After McQueen, The King and Chick Hicks tie in first place, Not Chuck and the pit crew are seen changing McQueen's tires while he is being interviewed by Kori Turbowitz. He then tells Not Chuck to get out of the way of a cameraman who is trying to get a view of McQueen's bolt sticker on his TV camera. Chuck becomes fed up with McQueen's snobbish attitude, and he and the rest of his team later quit. McQueen always called him Chuck, to which he responded, "And my name is Not Chuck!"

"Cameraman: (trying to view McQueen's bolt sticker on his TV camera, but Not Chuck is in the way) "Hey! Get outta the shot."
Lightning McQueen: "Yo, Chuck. Chuck, what are you doing? You're blockin' the camera! Everyone wants to see the bolt."
Not Chuck: "What?!"
Lightning McQueen: "Now, back away."
Not Chuck: (groans and slams his air wrench towards the ground) "That's it! Come on, guys."
(The Rust-eze pitties then leave.)
Lightning McQueen: (as one of the pitties drops his side onto the ground) "Ow! Whoa, team! Where are you going?"
Not Chuck: "We quit, Mr. One-Man Show!"
Lightning McQueen: "Oh, OK, leave. Fine." (chuckles) "How will I ever find anyone else who knows how to fill me up with gas?"
(The crowd then laughs.)
Lightning McQueen: "Adios, Chuck!"
Not Chuck: "And my name is not Chuck!"
Lightning McQueen: "Oh, whatever.""
