He is an Axxelo Fission (a model that resembles the real life Chevrolet Impala SS NASCAR) that is painted white, with the Apple logo on his hood, and the number "84" painted in grey on his doors and roof.

When Chick Hicks causes the big crash, he is involved in the wreck. He spends most of the race behind Dale Earnhardt, Jr., in around the thirtieth position.
