Gray

:Not to be confused with Gary, or Grey.
Gray is The King's hauler and a member of the Dinoco racing team. Because of his large size, Gray anticipated being a cargo hauler, but he did not expect to eventually become The King's transporter. Gray is also a longtime friend of Mack, who he once helped by securing a Piston Cup sponsorship for Lightning McQueen.
==History==
===Cars===
In Cars, Gray transports The King to the Dinoco 400 at the Motor Speedway of the South, where Weathers finishes in a three-way tie with Lightning McQueen and Chick Hicks. A tie-breaker race is set to be held at the Los Angeles International Speedway, which Gray transports Strip to. After the race is done and Tex Dinoco offers McQueen the Dinoco sponsorship, Gray gives McQueen a welcoming smile while he is contemplating his decision, though he politely declines.
===The Rookie===
Gray has a supporting role in the comic The Rookie. After meeting Lightning McQueen, Mack offers to transport the rookie racer to the Motor Speedway of the South, where his longtime friend, Gray, can help McQueen earn a place in a Piston Cup test session and secure a sponsorship. McQueen initially takes interest in the Dinoco sponsorship, but because The King is already the brand's face, Gray instead tries to introduce him to the Hostile Takeover Bank team members, who laugh at them. Finally, Gray and Lightning meet with Rusty and Dusty Rust-eze, who are able to give Lightning the opportunity he needs.
Sometime between Cars and Cars 3, he likely retired and got replaced by another race transporter.

===Meet the Cars===
*Gray always knew that because of his size he'd be hauling cargo across the country-gas, lumber, maybe even steel like his dad. But he never dreamed that his cargo would be seven-time Piston Cup champion, Strip "The King" Weathers.
===Pixarpedia===
*Gray is The King's hauler, and has a name that does not match his colour. As an important member of Team Dinoco, Gray is, of course, decked out in light blue.
===Cars: Character Encyclopedia===
*Gray is the Team Dinoco hauler. He always had a great time hauling, but he never dreamed he would one day be transporting superstar race car The King.
==Trivia==
*In Cars, there is an unnamed secondary Dinoco Hauler with brown eyes that appears on the left of the Dinoco Tent at the Los Angeles International Speedway, whereas Gray is seen on the right.
**Interestingly, the Riplash Racers Gray has brown eyes. Whereas Gray actually has green eyes in the film and all other merchandise.
* If Mcqueen did enter Dinoco as their racer, it's probable that Gray would become the former's race transporter.
* Gray's artwork would be recycled for multiple other haulers diecast artworks.
