The names guys are just getting way too lazy or having a laught to see if any one notices these things.
Could well be the naming person did it as a joke and it never got caught, it happens.

It's pretty clear that the character is called "Spastic" due to his race car alt and team affiliation.

I wonder if it would be as funny if this guy was called 'Retard'?
Fair enough if some of you guys don't pander to political correctness, but spare a thought for those of us who find the name 'Spastic' incredibly offensive - and on the packaging of a kid's toy, no less.
Nice job, Hasbro...
