Background[]
Official Description[]
"Second-generation Piston Cup racer Chase Racelott knows what it takes to win and was racing long before he ever set tire on a professional speedway. Like his fellow rookies, Chase knows how to push toward the front by combining his skills, track smarts, and top-of-the-line technology."
Personality[]
Chase can be described as a rather selfish car, showing little-to-no concern about the fact that Lightning McQueen might have gone missing, and stating he would not lose his sleep to wonder where he could possibly be. Despite this, he actually does mean well and also has decent sportsmanship skills as he gladly congratulates Cruz for winning the Florida 500.
Physical Description[]
Chase is a Next-Gen 2017 Race Car SA-5 with a green and white livery, Lightyear tires, and the number #24 on his sides and roof. He has hazel eyes.
Role in the film[]
Chase Racelott joined the Piston Cup and entered the Vitoline racing team at the last race of the season, replacing Brick Yardley. At the Florida 500, Chase qualifies in 9th place and finishes the race in 10th place.

Trivia[]
- Chase's name is a reference to his voice actor, Chase Elliott, who is a professional NASCAR race car driver. Interestingly, Elliott's story is quite similar to Chase's, as both have replaced a much older racer who had the same racing number (Elliott replaced Jeff Gordon, who was racing with the number #24, before he unexpectedly retired).
- Due to the NASCAR crossover die-cast line, his number is now #9. This is a reference to the racing number of Chase Elliott's car.
- During some scenes of the Los Angeles 500, Chase and Eric Braker switch positions.
