History

Before Cars

Murrary got his start in sports as a member of the 1984 gold-winning Olympics test track relay race team. The momentum of the Olympics carried him straight into mainstream professional racing and a flourishing career in The Piston Cup series.

Cars

In Cars, Murray competes during the Dinoco 400 race at the the Motor Speedway of the South, which was the final race of the Piston Cup season. During the race, he took part in an accident between almost all of the competitors that was caused by Chick Hicks, during which he ended up on his roof and got slammed by Ralph Carlow. He was able to continue racing and finished the race.

Cars 3

In Cars 3, Murrary was still competing in the Piston Cup until 2016, when in the midseason, when Jackson Storm made his debut. Due to Storm, interest in Next-Gen race cars rose as they had better achievements on the tracks. Sputter Stop either fired Murrary or Murrary retired on his own got replaced by Sheldon Shifter.

Physical Description

In Cars, Murray Clutchburn is a Stodgey Suaver EX^[1] stock car with Lightyear racing tyres. His eyes were blue, he had dark green livery with orange designs on his hood, roof and doors. He had the Sputter Stop logo on his hood, and the number 92 painted on his roof and doors. He also had an orange spoiler, black rims, and a black grille. In Cars 3, Murrary's appearance changes drastically as he looks like a Capitol Motors Mark II or an Axxelo Fission. However his paintjob remains similar to the first film with the only difference being the headlights as now the number 92 is under one instead of being on it.

Official Profiles

Murray Clutchburn's first taste of competition was as a member of the 1984 gold-winning Olympic test track relay team. You might recognize him from specially marked boxes of Wheelies Shredded Brakes! The momentum of the Olympics carried him straight into mainstream professional racing and a flourishing career in The Piston Cup series. Lauded for his classic image, Murray sometimes sports his signature exhaust side-burns that made him such a hit with the ladies back in the day.

-==Trivia==
+== Performers ==
+* [[Jack Angel]] – ''[[Cars]]''
-*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.
