History

Cars

Ponchy in the crash.

In Cars, Ponchy competes in the 2005 Piston Cup final at the Motor Speedway of the South. During the race, Chick Hicks causes an accident in an attempt to further his lead on Lightning McQueen, which Ponchy is involved in, and is seen hitting Ruby Oaks. Although Ponchy receives some minor cosmetic damage, he is able to continue racing, but loses to a three-way tie between McQueen, Chick, and Strip Weathers.

Cars 3

In Cars 3, Ponchy competes in the 2016 Piston Cup season, against the likes of many next-generation racers, such as Jackson Storm. However, after Los Angeles 500, Ponchy either retires or gets fired by Bumper Save and gets replaced by a next generation racer named Paul Conrev for the 2017 Florida 500.

Profiles and statistics

Cars

• Official bio
  • "Ponchy was working as a stunt-double on a movie about a pair of wise-cracking California Highway Patrol officers called "HighJinx," when he was spotted and recruited to be a professional race car. Ponchy's gone from the big screen to the little screen, but at least it involves a lot less intentional crashing."

Trivia

• In Cars 3, he is seen with blue eyelids and yellow rims, but on the diecast, he has black eyelids, and there is also a version where he has black rims.
