Occupation

Rustbucket Race Car

Performer

James Patrick Stuart

Zeke is one of Mater's cousins. While implied to not be very smart, he is incredibly skilled. He is the fastest NPC in the first 3 installments, normally placing at least 3rd in every event he shows up in.

Cars: The Video Game

Zeke is a demolition derby car that competes in the Rustbucket Race-O-Rama with his cousins, where he is usually found as the fastest car. He cannot be played as in Arcade Mode. He also is not a clone of one another, noting he has blue eyes and buck teeth, and Judd doesn't.

Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures

Zeke appears in "Tow The Line" where Mater must tow him. Sometimes he appears with a pink or yellow stripe instead of a blue stripe, like how Lewis appears red with black stripes.

Cars: Mater-National Championship

Zeke is seen over at the Rustbucket Stadium in Ornament Valley, staring in awe at the new Rustbucket racer, Emma. He competes in Rustbucket races 1, usually placing third, still losing to Cletus, and 2, where he is the fastest car. He also appears in Race 1's cut scene, where when Mater says to "Act Natural", he towers up on the side of Mater and gets his side skidded by Lewis and Cletus. He also appears twice (very briefly) in the game's intro. He still is not playable.

Cars: Race-O-Rama

Zeke appears in the first 3 Smash Up races where he is the fastest car in all of them, still unplayable.

Livery

Zeke is white with a blue stripe and the number 75.

Personality

Zeke is not suggested to be very intelligent, and like most other cousins, he tends to threaten his enemies such as that he'll take then apart or that they'll need an escort out of the stadium. Like Cletus, he seems to dislike crashing.

Abilities

Zeke is seen as an extremely talented Rustbucket Racer, tending to be the fastest car in every single story mode appearance except Rustbucket Race 1.

Trivia

  • In Cars: Mater-National Championship, Zeke's icon is smaller than those of the other cousins.
    • As opposed to this, Zeke's icon is larger than those of the other cousins in the PS2 version of Cars: Race-O-Rama, even though it is exactly the same one that was smaller than the others in Mater-National.
  • In the Wii version of Cars: Mater-National Championship, the developers forgot to replace Zeke's beta icon with a normal one, thus he is seen in a different pose and is larger than Cletus and Buford.
  • Zeke and Tommy Joe are the only cousins to have only one eye color.
  • On the Wii version of Cars: Race-O-Rama, Zeke's animation is glitched, meaning only a portion of his eyelid is visible.
  • There is a sound clip in Mater-National's E/Audio Folder known as "ZEKE_Horn", despite Zeke not being playable in Tractor Tipping (let alone at all). This sound was actually meant to be used as part of the voice clip "E_ZEKEpd8", where he would sound his horn. While this voice clip did not work as intended in Mater-National, it was fixed in Race-O-Rama, where the horn noise is now directly part of E_ZEKEpd8.
  • As many as 10 of his voice clips from Cars: The Video Game were re-enacted in Mater-National, mostly meant to replace the ones where he sounds rather insane with ones that sound a bit more serious.
