In Pixar's Cars 2, what is the name of the oil magnate who becomes the villain?

Miles Axlerod is the oil magnate who becomes the villain in Pixar's Cars 2.

Axlerod presents himself as a former racer and the organizer of the World Grand Prix. His public campaign promotes Allinol, an alternative fuel, but the film reveals that he is secretly directing a plan involving electromagnetic pulse weapons and manipulated broadcasts.

Eddie Izzard voices Miles Axlerod. The character's apparent transformation from racer to energy tycoon is part of the mystery surrounding the attacks on the competing cars.

Professor Zündapp is a separate villainous scientist who works on the weapons program, while Finn McMissile and Rod Redline belong to the spy side of the story. Keeping those roles separate matters because Cars 2 has an unusually large espionage cast for a Pixar racing film.
