Trivia
- In the 111th page of the book, there are Shifty Drug and Gasprin racers who are both Axxelo Fission EAs, and a Fiber Fuel racer who is a Brawny Motor Co. Spark EA.
- The unnamed Gasprin racer's inclusion is an error, as Floyd Mulvihill was the Gasprin veteran of both Cars and Cars 3, meaning that he still would've been racing at this time.
