In , after Jackson Storm wins at the Copper Canyon Speedway, sponsors begin to fire their veteran racers in favor of "Next-Gen" racers, who are much more physically capable. The Apple team replaces Apple Racer, the previous veteran, with J.P. Drive, who is then seen finishing second at the Rustbelt Raceway, seventeenth at the Georgia Motor Speedway, and second at the Heartland Motor Speedway. He later appears in the Florida 500, where he is seen in the very lowest positions, starting in twenty-ninth, and later spending most of his time in thirty-first place. During a multi-car crash, J.P. is struck by another racer, who had been hit by Cam Spinner, the one who started the crash. He is badly damaged and does not finish the race.

Trivia

 * In the original concept art, the Apple logo on J.P.'s hood is much more faint.
 * Apple had also sponsored Mac iCar, and Apple Racer in the Piston Cup Racing Series.
