A southern gentleman and ex-Piston Cup champion, Darrell knows what it takes to win. He's in the booth with Bob Cutlass for every major Cup event, calling the play-by-play and adding humor and personality to the commentary. But when the flag drops, he's all business, that is until he shouts his signature, "Boogity, Boogity, Boogity! Let's go racing boys!"[1]

Darrell Cartrip: "Bob, my oil pressure's through the roof right now. If this gets more exciting, they're gonna have to tow me outta the booth!"
Bob: "Right you are, Darrell. Three cars are tied for the season points lead, heading into the final race of the season. And the winner of this race Darrell, will win the season title and, the Piston Cup. Does The King, Strip Weathers, have one more victory in him before retirement?"
Darrell: "He's been Dinoco's golden boy for years! Can he win them one last Piston Cup?"
Bob: "And, as always, in the second place spot we find Chick Hicks. He's been chasing that tailfin his entire career."
Darrell: "Chick thought this was his year, Bob. His chance to finally emerge from The King's shadow. But the last thing he expected was...Lightning McQueen!"

- Brent Mustangburger: "Lightning McQueen loses in the last lap to Francesco Bernoulli in the first race of the World Grand Prix. And 3, count them, 3 cars flamed out, leading some to suggest that their fuel, Allinol, might be to blame."
Miles Axlerod: "Allinol is safe! Alternative fuel is safe! There is no way my fuel caused these cars to flame out!"
Darrell Cartrip: "Well, the jury might still be out with Allinol cause these accidents, but one thing's for sure, Lightning McQueen blew this race!"
David Hobbscap: "Team McQueen can't be happy right about now." - —Brent Mustangburger, Darrell Cartrip, and David Hobbscap do the announcements after the race in Tokyo.
