- Lightning McQueen: "Adios, Chuck."
Not Chuck: "And my name is not Chuck!"
Lightning McQueen: "Oh, whatever." - —Lightning McQueen calling the pitty "Chuck" one last time
Not Chuck is a side character in Cars. He was a pitty that worked for Lightning McQueen's team Rust-eze. He was serving as the temporary crew chief since the previous one quits.
Cars[]
"His name is Not Chuck, not Chucky, not Chuck-meister, not Chaz, not Chet, not Charlie and not Charles. He's a firm believer that a racer is only as good as his tires are fresh, so his motto is, "Change them early and change them often.""[1]
He first appears when Lightning McQueen is making a pit stop at the Motor Speedway of the South. He orders the pitties to change Lightning's tires. McQueen declines getting tires, and orders the crew to only give him gas before he drives back onto the track. Not Chuck, however, angrily tells him that he needs tires, to which McQueen doesn't listen and results the latter into bursting his rear tires.
After McQueen, The King and Chick Hicks tie in first place, Not Chuck and the pit crew are seen changing McQueen's tires while he is being interviewed by Kori Turbowitz. He then tells Not Chuck to get out of the way of a colored white male SUV cameracar who is trying to get a view of McQueen's bolt sticker on his TV camera. Not Chuck becomes fed up with McQueen's snobbish attitude, and he and the rest of his team later quit. McQueen tells him “Adios, Chuck.”, to which he responded, "And my name is not Chuck!"
Cars Race-O-Rama[]
In Cars Race-O-Rama, Not Chuck has been known to compete in Guido Kart races, for microcars and pitties only. Strangely, Not Chuck is still wearing his Rust-eze paint job and decals, despite quitting Lightning's team four years prior.
Personality[]
Not Chuck loses his temper very easily, specifically when Lightning doesn't take pit stops when he needs to.
Trivia[]
- According to Car Finder, Not Chuck is a 2003 Nemomatic Forklift.
- Not Chuck's actual name is currently unknown. Merchandise lines simply call him, "My Name is Not Chuck."
- In the movie and on his die-cast, his eyes are brown. However, the image on the die-cast packaging has him with blue eyes. The exact opposite of this happened in the 2015/2016 Piston Cup series die-cast series.
