Cars[]
"With little natural athletic ability, knowledge of racing's rich history, or understanding of its complex rules, it's a wonder Kevin Racingtire has been able to sustain himself in the Piston Cup circuit for as long as he has. He attributes his success to his family, particularly his father-in-law, who is the owner of the large pharmaceutical company that just so happens to sponsor the team he races for."[1]
Trivia[]
- Kevin's diecast before 2015 was originally colored dark red. In 2015, he was corrected to a pink color.
- In the 15th December 2005 workprint of Cars, Kevin was used as a stand in for Dale Earnhardt Jr, this was done in case the filmmakers could not get Dale on the project and secure licensing for him and his company.[2]
