Chick Hicks passing Greg.

In Cars, Greg is seen racing at the Motor Speedway of the South, among thirty-five other competitors. When Chick Hicks causes a huge accident to distance himself from Lightning McQueen, he is involved in the wreck and suffers minor damage, but is able to continue racing. He can be later seen during the restart and a bit after when Chick passes him.

Between the events of Cars and Cars 3, Greg retires, but his sponsor Tach-O-Mint does not appear in Cars 3.

His story:
"Greg loves his Tach-O-Mint sponsorship, but there is one aspect he's not a fan of..., the paint job. Gingerbread brown with candy cane type would not have likely been his first choice. Nor would it have likely been the first choice of a professional graphic designer, but it was however the first choice of the owner's four year old niece. Greg is also not a big fan of judging the annual contest in which fans build a likeness of him out of real gingerbread and gumdrops."
