Cars 3
In Cars 3, Ryan "Inside" Laney is one of the first six next-gens to replace six veterans at the second race located at the Motor Speedway of the South, having replaced Speedy Comet. He finishes in fifteenth place at the Los Angeles 500. At the Florida 500, he starts in twenty-seventh place.

Trivia
- Ryan "Inside" Laney is a pun on his US voice actor's name, Ryan Blaney, who is a professional NASCAR racer, and a rookie in the 2016 NASCAR Cup Series, the same Piston Cup Season Ryan Laney debuted in.
- During the Florida 500 crash, Ryan's paint job suddenly reversed to blue with orange stripes instead of orange with blue stripes. This miscolored version of Ryan is often mistakenly identified as Michael Rotor.
- Among the four next-generation racers who are based on real race car drivers, Ryan is the only one whose sponsor did not appear in the first film.
- In the movie, Ryan did not have any text on his spoiler, only the little Blinkr symbol, but on his die-cast, he has Blinkr written on his spoiler as well.
- For the NASCAR crossover die-cast line his number was changed to 12 matching Ryan Blaney's number for the Cup Series.
