==Trivia==
*Despite die-cast releases of the Cars 3 Shiny Wax racer coming with the name "Darren Leadfoot", this car has several differences from Darren Leadfoot himself, such as different headlight stickers and a "uni-grill", whereas Darren Leadfoot sports a two-piece grill; this proves that Darren is different.
**It is possible that he got a drastically changed body before the events of Cars 3.
*During the beginning of Cars, he is seen having yellow rims instead of black, Maybe it's the lens.
*After he's seen racing when Chick goes out of the pits, he just disappears and is not seen at race anymore.
*Darren, Lightning McQueen, Todd Marcus, Dirkson D'Agostino, Ralph Carlow, Ponchy Wipeout, Ernie Gearson, Floyd Mulvihill and Murray Clutchburn are the all racers to return from Cars, Except Lightning McQueen, Darren along with the other Returning racers, underwent some redesigns and was converted into the Capitol Motors Mark II.
