Murray Clutchburn

Murray Clutchburn is a professional race car that previously raced for the Sputter Stop racing team.

Biography
"Murray Clutchburn's first taste of competition was as a member of the 1984 gold winning Olympic test track relay team. You might recognize him from specially marked boxes of Wheelies Shredded Brakes! The momentum of the Olympics carried him straight into mainstream professional racing and a flourishing career in the Piston Cup series in 1985. Lauded for his classic image, Murray sometimes sports his signature exhaust side-burns that made him such a hit with the ladies back in the day."

Cars
In Cars, Chick Hicks causes a huge accident at the Motor Speedway of the South by bumping Winford Bradford Rutherford, who spins out of control and crashes into Murray. Soon, almost all of the competitors are involved, causing a threat to Lightning McQueen, but he manages to make it through the wreck by carefully avoiding all of the cars. During the chaos Murray ended up on his roof before being slammed by Ralph Carlow. Following the accident, Murray is able to rejoin the race, receiving only a small amount of cosmetic damage.

Cars 3
Murray competes in the 2016 Piston Cup season in Cars 3. Despite the performance of Jackson Storm and the other next-generation racers, Murray is able to stay in the sport until the Los Angeles 500. However, after that, he either retires or gets fired by Sputter Stop and gets replaced by a next-generation racer named Sheldon Shifter for the 2017 Florida 500.
