History: A bred New Yorker, Phoenix loved growing up in the 'City that never sleeps. She grew up in racing, her great uncle a Piston Cup Champ, and her father a distance racer. Growing up she had always wanted to be a racer, and with the help of her father, Chase, Uncle Jet, and her adopted 'Uncle' Neil she was well on her way.

But her life drastically changed when she was nine. The morning after her first little league race, her father died from undianosed engine failure. After his death Phoenix's mother Chloe struggled being a single parent, often working overtime at her job to make ends meet. She too met her end when she was rear-ended at a intersection into oncoming traffic, leaving Phoenix an orphan.

Custody of Phoenix went to her grandmother Silvia, who wanted nothing to do with the young car, and turned her over to social services the first chance that she got. Over the next year and a half, Phoenix was shuffled from foster home to foster home, never feeling that she belonged, she soon became silent and withrawn, until her Uncle Jet finally tracked her down and adopted her.

Over the next few years she began coming out of her shell and joined a little leauge racing team to work to become a racer.

Phoenix continued racing until she reached sixteen, when after a race she was overlooked by scouts and left the stadium and drove into downtown Manhattan where she got her first taste of illegal street racing after beating a top car on the streets.

She was hired on the spot by a Nissan Fairlady by the name of Ricky Lamante. She ran away from the only home she had known since her adoption and joined Ricky's crew. Phoenix had given up her orignal blue paint and took a coat of black witha swooping phoenix and started calling herself 'BlackBird' and got quite the rep around the East Coast over the next few years.

And last year on her way to a Tuner convention, she met up with the DRH's and became fast friends with Ebony and Boost.

But this life wouldn't last long. Soon after Phoenix returned to New York she was racing her biggest rival and own cousin, Luke Grayston and was crashed by him and ended up in the hospital. When she was releashed from hospital and was quickly arrested and thrown into the State Impound.

She was releashed four months later with the help of a black Trans Am with a odd scanning red light when she turned Luke in. Phoenix left New York that day and moved out to Los Angles to live with Neil, who had set up a couple of jobs for her as a stunt car and courier. She soon joined up with a minor racing league, hoping to find a sponsor, which didn't happen becasue of her record and past as a ex-con.

Word soon got out to her about trouble in Radiator Spinrgs, involing her old friends and went out there to help. Now that she's returned to Radiator Springs, she met up with her old friends Ebony and Boost and rekindled their friendships, and starting a relationship with Boost as well. She also found a racing sponsor in Ramone, and will be racing in the up and coming season.

History: A bred street racer from the beginning, he has been Phoenix's biggest rival since they first met back when both of them had just got into the streets. While he has never won agianst Phoenix, he is a well known racer with a history of racing for local mobsters and a flaw of rather running his compitition into the ground rather than racing them.
He had once challanged Phoenix to a cross country race from New York to Las Vegas, which he would lose and cause a small feud between the two racers.
He ended Phoenix's reign when he was racing her and caused her to spin into the path of a oncoming Corolla, that caused a crash that would result in her impound sentence.
He would only stay on top a few months before he was appriended, thanks to Phoenix, and was sentenced to ten years in the New York State Impound, while Phoenix was released. Ever since he has sat behind bars plotting on how he would get back at the car that ruined his life.

History: A one time distance racer, Neil came in with the StreamLiner family when he competed with Phoenix's father, Chase, in the CannonBall Runs. He was the one who introduced Chloe to Chase at one of Jet's parties.
When Phoenix was born he acted like an uncle to the little Pontiac and often watched her for Chase. After Chase's death he helped Chloe out until her death months later.
During the 80s he became involved in Hollywood as a stunt driver known for his many tricks and precise jumps. But after a jump involving a fire he nearly lost all the sight in his right eye, rendering him useless as a stunt car. When he recovered he opted to coordinate the stunts to help keep what happened to him from happening to other cars.
After Phoenix was released from the impound she was sent to live with him in California hopping that would keep her out of trouble. He found her a few jobs and entered her in a local minor racing league. And as an outlet to keep her out of trouble, Neil has taught the young Pontiac every trick that he's known, making Phoenix one of the best stunters around.

Chloe also became good friends with a fellow Trans Am, black in color and with a scanning red light, who she met while he worked on a case. They would remain friends for the rest of her life.

She was introduced to Chase at a party in '83 and were soon married. She would bring Phoenix into the world in '84.

Though she didn't like the idea of Chase teaching their daughter to race, she threw her full support behind them and often took Phoenix to her little league races.

Both she and Phoenix took Chase's death hard, the former slowly falling into a mild state of depression. After Chase's death, she began working double time at her job, spending more time at the office than at home. She couldn't bear to in her daughter's eyes, they always reminded her of Chase.

Coming home from a late night at work, Chloe would later join her husband a couple of months later after she was rear-ended into oncoming traffic on an intersection where she would die instantly, leaving Phoenix an orphan.

History: He grew up in downtown New York fatherless and with a love of racing that his mother, Silvia, never approved of and took up racing in his teens. But due to a problem with his suspension he was unable to enter circuit racing. He soon found a talent for endurance long distance racing and won several Cannonball Runs and other endurance races. He often competed and teamed up with Neil and had quite a name on these circuits. He also moonlighted as a stunt driver.

He later retired in the early eighties and took up training and coaching. He was introduced to his future wife Chloe at a party in '83 and married in '84 and had Phoenix within the year.

He adored Phoenix and taught her the basics of racing. But when Phoenix was nine he died in his sleep from undiagnosed engine failure caused by the years of stress his engine earned from his racing.
Voice: Gary Sinise
Theme: Wanted Dead or Alive- Bon Jovi
Other:
-He tended to suffer from an extremely loose suspension that was the reason why he couldn't go on the pro circuit; a condition that Phoenix inherited and overcame.
-Unlike other models, Chase was built lower to the ground and that gave him a lower center of gravity letting him push himself to extreme tricks.

He has invested a lot of money into his grandson's future on the street racing circuit, only to have what he had all set up for Luke snatched away by his illegitimate granddaughter, Phoenix.

He began his career in racing in Drag racing in '51 and continued in it for several years, and later started in the '54 Piston Cup. But that wouldn't last long, and was soon banned from the circuit and blacklisted from the tracks because of his overly aggressive driving tactics the same year he started racing.

Bart is a known womanizer, often dating several women at a time. When Silvia, Phoenix's grandmother, and Luke's grandmother, an early model Nissan, his girlfriends at the time both told Bart that they were in term; he dumped Silvia and went with his Nissan girlfriend who he later married leaving Silvia with nothing.
