Playing off a joke earlier in the movie, after the credits for "Cars 3" have ended (where you’ll notice things like how the Pixar Brain Trust isn’t called the Brain Trust anymore), we get a glimpse of Mater (voiced by Larry the Cable Guy) in his workshop. He’s singing "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" and making one of his junk sculptures. It’s a cute, throwaway moment, but not worth sitting through all those credits for (but again, you’ll see some interesting stuff, like Michael Giacchino contributing a music cue).
It’s weird that "Cars 2" devoted so much time to the country bumpkin tow truck and, just one movie later, he’s relegated to a post-credits gag. Poor Mater.
