What is the name of the arrogant Next Gen racer in Cars 3?

The arrogant Next Gen racer in Cars 3 is Jackson Storm.

Storm is introduced as a technologically advanced rookie who represents a new generation of race cars. He is faster and more data-driven than many veteran competitors, and his success quickly exposes the performance gap between the older racers and the newcomers.

His rise creates the central conflict for Lightning McQueen. Storm wins repeatedly during the season while veteran racers retire or are replaced, and McQueen's attempt to keep pace ends in a serious crash. Storm's confidence often crosses into arrogance, making him both a sporting rival and a symbol of the changing racing world.

Storm is voiced by Armie Hammer. In the Florida 500, he faces Cruz Ramirez after Lightning gives her the chance to race in his place. Cruz uses a move associated with Doc Hudson to pass him and win, while Lightning and Cruz share the number 95. Bobby Swift is an older racer, and Chase Racelott is another Next Gen competitor—not Storm's name.
