* DarkAndTroubledPast: Carl betrays Lightning, causing him to eventually develop into an unfriendly, arrogant tyrant who only cared about winning and himself. His original hauler before Mack was an accident-prone hauler named Snyder who transported him via a cover-up tarp. He also kept getting de-routed and Lightning is forced to stay awake to help him. As a result, he was known as a fast starter, but a slow finisher. It got better by the time he became part of Team Rust-eze.
