'''Cam Spinner''' is a [[Next-Generation]] race car that competes in the [[Piston Cup Racing Series]] with the number 31 for the [[Triple Dent]] team. He replaced [[Terry Kargas]] in 2016.

==History==
===''Cars 3''===
[[File:Cam-spinner-personnage-cars-3-01.jpg|220px|left|Cam Spinner swerving, leading to the [[Florida International Super Speedway]] crash in 2017.|thumb|alt=]]In ''[[Cars 3]]'', Cam competes in the 2016 season of the Piston Cup. He joined the [[Triple Dent]] racing team serving as a permanent replacement for the previous racer, [[Terry Kargas]]. He debuts at the Heartland Motor Speedway, finishing in 18th.

Later, Cam competes in the 2017 season at the [[Florida 500]] race at the [[Florida International Super Speedway]], where he started from the twenty-third position and then moves up into the fifteenth position. During the race, Spinner causes a crash by pushing himself too hard trying to get faster and pass other racers, blowing his rear tire in a process, (just like how [[Lightning McQueen]] blew out his rear tire during the final [[Los Angeles 500]] race at the [[Los Angeles International Speedway]] because he pushed himself too hard trying to get faster to pass [[Jackson Storm]].) He spun out of control and took out [[Tim Treadless]] and [[George New-Win]]. They slid across the track and hit other cars. Spinner soon slides towards the wall, hitting [[Steve "Slick" LaPage]] in the process. After that, he went airborne and hit [[Harvey Rodcap]] when he got back on the ground. He was severely damaged and does not finish the race. Due to the accident a restart for the race had to be called.

==Names in other languages==
*Greek: ''Καμ Σπινερ'' (transcription: ''Kam Spiner'')
*Japanese: ''カム・スピナー''
*Polish: ''Gwiazda Kopeć''
*Russian:
**''Кэм Спиннер'' (transcription: ''Kem Spinner'')
**''Кэв Шкивер'' (transcription: ''Kev Shkiver'')

==Trivia==
*Cam Spinner's name is similar to that of [[Cad Spinner]] from ''[[Planes: Fire & Rescue]]''.
**Translation of his name, ''Gwiazda Kopeć'', used in Polish version of ''[[Cars 3: Driven to Win]]'', (and on his Rocket Racing diecast release), was also based on the Polish translation of Cad Spinner's name, ''Gazda Kopeć''.
***Based on this it is inevitable for the two to have some relations to eachother.
*Early concept art of Cam depicts him with the number 21.
**The same goes for [[Terry Kargas]].
***This can only conclude that [[Ryan "Inside" Laney]] and [[Speedy Comet]] both would have been numbered 31 in the movie.
***In the movie, he has gray eyes, however on his artwork, his eyes are green.
