==History==

Eugene appears at the [[Motor Speedway of the South]] in ''[[Cars]]'', competing in the 2005 [[Dinoco]] 400, the final race of the season. Eugene is doing well early into the race, until [[Chick Hicks]] attempts to further distance himself from [[Lightning McQueen]], and does so by creating a large wreck consisting of all cars except himself, Lightning,The King, Eugene and Mac iCar, but a mistake happens that Eugene was actually a participant of the wreck where he hits [[Crusty Rotor]] and nears [[James Cleanair]], [[Ponchy Wipeout]] and [[Ruby Oaks]] when they collide. Eugene continues racing, even leading the pack in second place at certain points, but by lap 399 he had already fallen behind to the middle of the pack.
Eugene Carbureski got his start prepping racecars at a local race shop. But it didn't take long before he realized he had more nuts and bolts knowledge of racing than most of the other arrogant cars he was working on. A pick up race during lunch one day between Eugene and one of the pros showed that he had more power than he knew what to do with. With that one simple victory, Eugene garnered the attention of Wells Runabout, the owner of Team Tank Coat, and the rest is history!

Between the events of Cars and Cars 3, Eugene retires, and [[Reb Meeker]] becomes the new Tank Coat racer.
