Concept art of Carl Clutchen presenting him with the number 51.

• The number 15 was also used by: Gordon, Jan Kowalski, Lexi Lowdown, Jan Nilsson, Lightning McQueen, Harvey Rodcap and Max Sharpwork.
• Other racers sponsored by Easy Idle were: Ruby Oaks and Harvey Rodcap.
• While he and Harvey Rodcap had used the number 15 in Cars 3, Easy Idle racer in Cars, Ruby Oaks, used the number 51.
  • There is early concept art that presents Clutchen with the number 51 instead. The change could have been made because of Cruz Ramirez being given the number 51 in Cars 3, which could have been changed from the first concept of the movie, as the development had progressed.
• He is named after Cars 3 effects artist Carl Kaphan.
