Charlie Checker is the official pace car for the Piston Cup Racing Series. He is a 2004 Capitol Motors Econ 6 YL 3.0 Liter that is painted yellow, with the Piston Cup logo on his doors and hood, and the words "Official Pace Car" on his hood. He also has tail lights on his roof, and chrome rims.

History

In Cars, Charlie first appears driving in front of Lightning McQueen while the other Piston Cup racers are in the pits at the Motor Speedway of the South. He later appears at the Los Angeles International Speedway, leading The King and Chick Hicks around the speedway. Lightning McQueen just barely manages to pass him when he is returning to the track from a pit stop. Sometime between Cars and Cars 3, he is replaced by Pat Traxson.

Trivia

• Charlie's die-cast incorrectly depicts him with orange tail lights. However, Mattel later issued a correct version with the proper red tail lights.
