- —Chuck, Boom! Studios Comics
Chuck is a red Hummer H2. He was the third acting crew chief of the Rust-eze racing team, prior to his firing by Lightning McQueen due to the latter's preference of being a "one-man show". Chuck was a critical and somewhat inspirational coach, as he was known to lecture McQueen over his lack of road racing knowledge.
History
Cars
Due to him being fired prior, Chuck does not appear in the film at all, but is indirectly mentioned by Darrell Cartrip in Cars. He says that McQueen recently fired his third crew chief in one season, and he is racing in the Dinoco 400 without any coaching.
McQueen also calls the leader of his mechanics Chuck, despite that not actually being his name. It is likely that McQueen confused their names.
Boom! Studios Comics
Chuck makes a physical appearance in a Boom! Studios Comics issue, where he is shown to be McQueen's former crew chief.
Trivia
- In the comic, he lacks visible ''Rust-eze'' decals along with the other crew chiefs shown in the latter, despite this, if he were ever to appear in Cars he would likely have them as Mcqueen's original pit crew (such as Not Chuck) had the decals in the film when they aren't visible in the comic.
