Which NASCAR driver voiced the character Darrell Cartrip in Cars 3?

Darrell Waltrip voiced Darrell Cartrip in Cars 3.

Darrell Cartrip is a retired Piston Cup racer who works as a television commentator, usually alongside Bob Cutlass. The character’s name and racing persona are a playful tribute to Darrell Waltrip, the real NASCAR driver and broadcaster. That connection gives Cartrip’s commentary an insider’s racing flavor while also making him a comic presence in the films.

Waltrip first voiced the character in Cars and returned for Cars 2 and Cars 3. In Cars 3, Cartrip remains part of the broadcast world surrounding the Piston Cup, reporting on the changing competition as veteran Lightning McQueen faces a new generation led by Jackson Storm.

The wrong options are also famous racing names connected to Cars, which makes this question easy to mix up. Jeff Gordon voices Jeff Gorvette, Richard Petty voices Strip “The King” Weathers, and Jimmie Johnson is not the voice of Darrell Cartrip. Waltrip’s real career included NASCAR championships before his broadcasting work.
