- "Let me put it this way. I'm not losing any sleep wondering where Lightning McQueen is."
- —Chase Racelott, Cars 3
Chase Racelott is a next-generation Piston Cup race car who appears in Cars 3,[1] sponsored by Vitoline. His number is 24 (9 in the NASCAR Die-Cast line),[2] and he is a Next-Gen 2017 Race Car SA-5.[3]
History[]
Chase competes in the 2016 Piston Cup season in Cars 3. He enters the season in October 2016 as a end-season replacement for the previous Vitoline racer, Brick Yardley, after he got fired. Chase started in 22nd in the Los Angeles 500. At some period, he duels Bubba Wheelhouse and Aaron Clocker. Then after sometime, he and Danny Swervez passed every next-gen and stock car except for Lightning McQueen and Jackson Storm and are in 3rd and 4th place battling for positions against each other. However Chase is no match for Danny. When McQueen leaves the pits, they are both in 2nd and 3rd place until Storm passes them [4] and, along with Danny, passes McQueen before he crashes. At the Florida 500, he started in 9th and is later involved in the accident caused by Cam Spinner and is seen sliding on the wall, but he is able to continue the race, later seen entering the pits safely. He restarts in 4th and for the rest of the race he is seen dueling Flip Dover and Nick Shift and he finishes at least 10th. After the race, he congratulates Cruz on her win.
Personality[]
Chase is really kind and also takes racing seriously. This is shown when he congratulates Cruz Ramirez for winning the race and he gives her a tire-bump. He can be arrogant and selfish sometimes, as shown when he told the press that he will not lose his sleep wondering where Lightning McQueen is. Despite this, Chase is a good-hearted, intelligent, well-meaning, and friendly race car.
Bio[]

Trivia[]
- His name is a pun on his voice actor, Chase Elliott, who is an actual NASCAR driver. He, like his fictional counterpart, replaced a previous driver. In real life, Chase replaced Jeff Gordon (a veteran driver and Jeff Gorvette's voice actor) after he retired in the 2014-15 season. It also translates "Race a lot" which of course, Chase Elliot always races a lot, having done the Snowball Derby, Chili Bowl Nationals, and Rolex 24 during the 2020 Cup Series Off-Season, which was the same season that Elliot won his first ever Cup Title
- When Darrell Cartrip is speaking: "McQueen is fading, fading fast!" Chase and Danny overtake him, but when McQueen hits the wall and crashes, Eric Braker is seen in place of Chase.
- Due to inaccuracy on his artwork, it is believed that Chase has blue eyes, but in the movie, he has hazel eyes and on his diecast, he has green eyes.
- In the NASCAR diecast line, Chase changes his number from 24 to 9.
