Speedy Comet[1] is a professional race car who competed in the Piston Cup Racing Series, for the Blinkr team. However, once next-generation racers began to garner attention for their unmatched speed and ability, Blinkr fired Comet and replaced him with Ryan Laney.
History
In Cars 3, Comet competes in the 2016 season, when Jackson Storm makes his debut. Storm's success sparks interest in next-generation models, who are faster and more capable than traditional stock racers. Realizing their superiority in terms of ability, Piston Cup teams start firing their veterans in favor of next-generation rookies, and Comet becomes one of many who are replaced.
Trivia
- Early concept art shows that Comet's number was originally going to be 31, Terry Kargas' number in the final film.
