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 drastically changed body before the events of Cars 3.
- Racing #82 also includes Trick Guzzler.
Darren Leadfoot with the incorrect yellow rims instead of his usual black rims. - After he's seen racing when Chick goes out of the pits, he just disappears and is not seen at race anymore.
