===Meet the Cars===
*River Scott came from modest beginnings, but he always made the very best of what he had. With seven circuit wins from the early 1950s, his unique body style made him a trailblazer in the Piston Cup. He was scrappy and improvisational, and wore his dents proudly as symbols of what he had been through. He was Doc's racing contemporary and friend, and loves to tell tales of the good old days.
=== Cars 3: Driven to Win ===
* A longtime friend of Hud, whose scrappy and improvisational style made him a trailblazer in Piston Cup racing.

*Galbūt Upius ir nebuvo pats stipriausias lenktyninkas, bet jis buvo kupinas ryžto laimėti. Tai padėjo jam pasiekti daugiau nei daugeliui kitų lenktynininkų.
