==History==
===Cars 3===
In Cars 3, Bobby competes in the 2016 Piston Cup season along the likes of Lightning McQueen, Cal Weathers, and Brick Yardley. Early in the 2016 season of the Piston Cup, after McQueen's victory in Dinoco Light 350 at the Motor Speedway of the South, Swift and his crew pranked him in extinguishing foam and confetti while he was having an interview with Racing Sports Network reporter, Shannon Spokes. In the mid-season when Jackson Storm won at the Copper Canyon Speedway, he, Lightning and Cal were surprised by his speed. When Lightning asks who he was, Bobby responded saying that was Jackson Storm who is one of the rookies. Interest and popularity in the Next-Generation race cars rose since they had better achievements on the track racing. For the rest of the season, more and more stock cars were replaced with high-tech rookies and Bobby was unable to keep up. Before the Los Angeles 500, the final race of the 2016 Piston Cup Series, Bobby was theoretically fired by Octane Gain's owner and was replaced by Danny Swervez. Bobby does not appear again in the film.
