==History==
===Before Cars===
Murray got his start in sports as a member of the 1984 gold-winning Olympics test track relay race team. The momentum of the Olympics carried him straight into mainstream professional racing and a flourishing career in The Piston Cup series. 
===Cars===
In Cars, Murray competes during the Dinoco 400 race at the the Motor Speedway of the South, which was the final race of the Piston Cup season. During the race, he took part in an accident between almost all of the competitors that was caused by Chick Hicks, during which he ended up on his roof and got slammed by Ralph Carlow. He was able to continue racing and finished the race.
===Cars 3===
In Cars 3, he competes in the 2016 Piston Cup season, against many Next-Gen racers. He can still be seen racing at the Los Angeles International Speedway, and after that, he retires and gets replaced by a next-gen racer named Sheldon Shifter.
==Physical description==
In Cars, Murray Clutchburn is a Stodgey Suaver EX. While in most appearances, including Cars, he was presented as Stodgey Suaver EX, in Cars 3, his model was changed to Capitol Motors Mark II.stock car with Lightyear racing tires. His eyes are blue, he has a dark teal green livery with orange designs on his hood, roof and doors. He has the Sputter Stop logo on his hood, and the number 92 painted on his roof and doors.

==Trivia ==
*While in most appearances, including Cars, he was presented as a Stodgey Suaver EX, in Cars 3, his model was changed to a Capitol Motors Mark II.
**Murray, Lightning McQueen, Todd Marcus, Dirkson D'Agostino , Darren Leadfoot, Ralph Carlow, Ponchy Wipeout, Ernie Gearson and Floyd Mulvihill are the all racers to return from Cars, Except Lightning McQueen, Murray along with the other Returning racers, underwent some redesigns and was converted into the Capitol Motors Mark II.
* While in Cars and Cars 3 he has grey eyes, his 1:55 scale diecast toy model depicts him with brown eyes.
*When Chick Hicks starts an accident in Cars, he hits Winford Bradford Rutherford, who then hits Murray, but after the scene where Chick says "Get through that, McQueen!", James Cleanair is in Murray's place.
*Competition number 92 was also used by: Sheldon Shifter.
*Other racing cars that where sponsored by Sputter Stop were: Randy Lawson and Sheldon Shifter.
*In Cars 3 multiple scenes, His roof shows off whether he's in Cars or Stodgey Suaver EX the same orange color instead of the actual turquoise color. This is wrong because after his redesign Capitol Motors Mark II, his roof did change to a turquoise color, This error would translate to his diecast release, Including his Disney Store diecast and Mini Racers diecast.
**What's more, the Disney Store diecast also depicts him as a Capitol Motors Verve XT.
* On Murray's 2021 die-cast release his artwork on the package is his Cars artwork however the die-cast itself is his Cars 3 version.
*Although he is already a Capitol Motors Mark II in Cars 3, But his Disney Store diecast depicts but him as a Capitol Motors Verve XT.
