Trivia

  • Despite the die-cast release of the Sputter Stop veteran in Cars 3 being named "Murray Clutchburn", Murray resembles a third generation NASCAR vehicle, whereas the Cars 3 racer resembles either a fourth or fifth generation NASCAR vehicle. The same mistake happens with the die-cast releases of the Gasprin, Bumper Save, Spare Mint and Lil' Torquey Pistons racers from Cars 3, being mistaken for Floyd Mulvihill, Ponchy Wipeout, Ernie Gearson and Ralph Carlow. The racers in Cars 3 aren't similar to the Cars racers who raced for the same teams, thus meaning that the Cars racers either retired prior to Cars 3 or went through some sort of plastic surgery.
  • When Chick Hicks starts the "big one", he hits Winford Bradford Rutherford, who then hits Murray, but after the scene where Chick says "Get through that, McQueen!", James Cleanair is in Murray's place.
  • On Murray's die-cast, and in a scene, he is mistakenly depicted with red eyelids instead of green.
