Carl Clutchen is a stock car that used to compete in the Piston Cup Racing Series for the Easy Idle team with the number 15.
In Cars 3, Carl Clutchen competes in the Piston Cup Racing Series during the 2016 season. In 2016, he had finished 5th in the Dinoco Light 350 race at the Motor Speedway of the South, 7th in the Iowa Hybrid 450 race at Rocker Arms International, 24th at the Georgia Safety Horn 350 at the Georgia Super Speedway and 11th at the Dinoco 400 at the Copper Canyon Speedway.
However during the midseason, with the rise of interest in high-tech Next-Generation series of race cars, that had better achievements on the tracks, he was forced to stop competing in the Piston Cup by Easy Idle and got replaced by a Next-Gen racer named Harvey Rodcap, the current racer for Easy Idle.
