History

Cars

Leadfoot in an accident.

Darren appears in Cars, during the Dinoco 400 at the Motor Speedway of the South. He is involved in a huge accident caused by Chick Hicks. He almost hits Floyd Mulvihill in the accident. However, Darren is able to continue racing, despite receiving some minor damage.

Cars 3

In Cars 3, he competes in the 2016 Piston Cup season, against many Next-Gen racers. He can still be seen racing at the Los Angeles International Speedway, and then after that, Shiny Wax fires Darren and he gets replaced by a next-gen racer named Conrad Camber for the 2017 Florida 500.

Trivia

  • Despite die-cast releases of the Cars 3 Shiny Wax racer coming with the name "Darren Leadfoot", this car has several differences from Darren Leadfoot himself, such as different headlight stickers and a "uni-grill", whereas Darren Leadfoot sports a two-piece grill; this proves that Darren is different.
    • It is possible that he got a drastical body change before the events of Cars 3.
  • Racing #82 also includes Tucker Guzzler.
