Bob and Darrell are heard talking as Al Oft flies over, along with the spectators coming into the circuit.*] Hello, race fans, and welcome to what has become, quite simply, the biggest event in the history of racing. A three way battle for the Piston Cup!

**Darrell Cartrip**: You know I got a lotta miles on me, but let me tell you somethin' buddy. I never thought I'd see anything like this. Wow! Man, this is exciting! [*The screen then shows several closed signs on different buildings as Bob is talking, such as a person turning a sign from "Open" to "Closed", the sign for the East Honkers Shopping Mall saying "Closed for race", and Emery ville's sign showing a label saying "Closed for the race", and at the end of Bob's line, the screen shows some trucks and drivers watching the race on TV.*]

**Mack**: Hey, Lightning! Are you ready?
**Lightning McQueen**: [*gasps*] Y-yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm uh I'm ready. [*McQueen then opens the door and comes out, noticing the press chattering indistinctly and taking pictures of him. The screen then shows an aerial view of the circuit, before coming back to the ground to show McQueen driving to Mack, who is wearing a headset.*] Mack, thanks for being my pit crew today.
**Mack**: Na. Don't worry about it, kid. It's the least I could do. After all, "Gas Can" is my middle name.
**Lightning McQueen**: It is?
**Mack**: Nahh, not really.
[*The Alpha numeros are then shown driving along the track, forming the words "Piston Cup" as the crowd cheers. Then the Convoy Brothers are shown shouting as the camera pans past them, showing a caravan drinking Dinoco Light, and Syd VanDerKamper sitting in an inflatable pool surrounded by little palm trees, Dinoco cans and plastic flamingos. Barney Stormin is then shown completing his skywriting of "Piston Cup", and then hears Marco, Stu Bop and another jet heading towards him.*]

**Small Airplane**: Uh-oh [*Small airplane and flies out of the way. The jets then fly through the skywriting and over the circuit, where the crowd is cheering and laughing upon seeing them. Coriander Wide track giggles upon seeing them, wearing a Marco toy on her antenna. Two of the jets then fly away in different directions, as the screen then shows Artie and another announcer looking at the different cameras.*]
**TV Crew**: Nelson! Zoom in. Ready, 16? Take 16. [*One of the TV cameras then changes to show McQueen on the track with Chick and the King, as they warm up while behind Charlie Checker. While Bob and Darrell are talking, the cameramen aim their cameras at McQueen.*]
**Bob Cutlass**: And there he is; "Lightning McQueen"! Missing all week, and then he turns up in the middle of nowhere! In a little town called Radiator Springs.
**Darrell Cartrip**: Wearing whitewall tires, of all things. [*McQueen grunts and as Chick's "C" sticker shines sunlight over his eyes*]
**Chick**: Ka-chicka, Ka-chicka, Ka-chicka! [*laughs*] Hey, where you been? I've been kinda lonely. Nobody to hang out with. I mean, except the Dinoco folks. Aw, and the twins. Of course. You know the twins the one that used to be your fans, but now they're my fans. Anyway, listen to what the twins think...
[*But then McQueen daydreams of when he sees Sally driving along the bridge beside the waterfall in then of and the rest of offering to teach him about the ways of friendship at the on. Just then, a green flag is waved as the screen then shows Dexter Hoover waving it to start the race. The King and Chick get on their way, but McQueen was not ready.*]

**Lightning McQueen**: [*Gasps*] Shoot! [*gets on his way*]
**Darrell Cartrip**: Boogity, boogity, boogity, boys! Let's go racing!
[*The screen shows the three race cars racing, as McQueen is a couple of seconds behind and catching up. The crowd is seen cheering, as the camera moves to show Lynda and Tex cheering on for the King.*]

**Lynda Weathers**: Come on, you can do it!
**Tex**: Come on kid, make us proud, boy!
**Bob Cutlass**: Fifty laps down, and The King is still holding a slim lead.
**Darrell Cartrip**: [*as McQueen gets beside Chick*] Hey, McQueen's got a run on him! He's looking to the inside! [*But then, Chick goes right in front of McQueen, causing him to brake.*] Oh, Chick slammed the door on him!
**Bob Cutlass**: Chick's not making it easy on him today.
**Darrell Cartrip**: Oh, man, he lost so much momentum, and now he's gonna have to chase him back down!
[*The screen changes to McQueen's point of view as he sees the King and Chick ahead. The screen then changes as McQueen daydreams again, showing him following Sally and the whole of driving, chuffing and flying through the woods, as soft music is heard along with birds singing. But when Sally splashes through the puddle, McQueen then notices he is heading towards the barrier, and turns away, with his brakes squealing, and spins off the track.*]

**Bob Cutlass**: **OH!!!** McQueen spins out in the infield!
[*Mia and Tia gasp along with the crowd. McQueen then comes to a stop on the infield.*]

**Chick**: [*chuckles*] Just me and the old man, fellas. McQueen just doesn't have it today.
[*Chick Hicks' Pit Crew all laugh. McQueen groans and drives back onto the track*]

**Mack**: [*through the radio*] Hey, kid, are you alright?
**Lightning McQueen**: I don't know, Mack. I don't think I-
**Doc Hudson**: [*through the radio*] I didn't come all this way to see you quit.
[*McQueen then looks to see Doc, the rest of the whole of and most of the Radiator Springs residents in his pit. Ramone has had a new paint job, being red with McQueen's bolt and the are shown wearing cheerleader outfits and holding pom-poms, while Doc has his original racing paint job and tires and a headset, which and also had to contact with McQueen on his radio.*]

**Lightning McQueen**: Doc?
**Guys**: [*everyone cheers*]
**Lightning McQueen**: Guys, you're here! I can't believe this!
**Doc Hudson**: I knew you needed a crew chief, but I didn't know it was this bad.
**Lightning McQueen**: I thought you said you'd never come back.
**Doc Hudson**: Well, I really didn't have a choice. Mater didn't get to say goodbye.
**Tow Mater**: **Goodbye!** Okay, I'm good.
**Lightning McQueen**: [*chuckles*]
**Doc Hudson**: [*McQueen then comes to the pits, as Mater holds the sign, which has Radiator Springs' logo on it. Fillmore and Sarge refuel McQueen, to McQueen*] Alright, if you can drive as good as you fix a road, then you can win this race with you eyes shut. Now, get back out there! [*McQueen then drives back out through the pit lane.*] Hot snot, we are back in business! Guido! Luigi! You're goin' up against professional pit crews boys, you're gonna have to be fast.
**Luigi**: They will not know what bit them!
**Doc Hudson**: [*to McQueen*] Kid, [*through the radio*] you can beat these guys. Find a groove that works for you and get that lap back!
[*McQueen then goes faster, going around the bends and catching up. Then the Dinoco pit crew notice Doc in his look, murmuring as they see him.*]

**Chick's Crew**: Is that? Oh, wow. That's him!
**TV Crew**: Is that--? That's the Hudson Hornet! Bob, Darrell, the Hudson Hornet's back!
**Bob Cutlass**: Darrell, it appears McQueen has got himself a pit crew. And look who he has for a crew chief! [*All of the cameramen turn their cameras to show Doc, and the crowd then notices him.*]
**Larry**: Whoa! Look, man. It's the Hudson Hornet!
**Albert Hinkey**: Whoa!
**R.M.**: Well, dip me in axle grease and call me Slick! It surely is!
[*A whistle is heard, and the crowd then cheers. The screen then shows a TV at Flo's V8 Cafe showing Doc, as Sally, Red and Lizzie are watching the race on TV back in Radiator Springs.*]
**Bob Cutlass**: Wow, this is history in the making. Nobody has seen the racing legend in over 50-Years!
**Lizzie**: [*noticing Doc on the TV, not realizing it is him*] Hey, Doc! Come look at the fellow on the radio! He looks just like you!
[*Sally giggles and Red chuckles. Then the screen shows McQueen catching up to the King and Chick, and he manages to get past.*]

**Bob Cutlass**: McQueen passes them on the inside!
**Darrell Cartrip**: But he's still nearly a lap down!
**Bob Cutlass**: Can he catch up to them with only 60 laps to go?!
**Doc Hudson**: You're going great, kid. Just keep your head on.
**Guido**: Vai, vai, vai! [*pushes a cart of tires away*]
**Chick's crew**: Hey, shrimpie, where did McQueen find you, huh? Those round things are called tires, and they go UNDER THE CAR!
**All Chick's Crew**: [*laughing*]
**Guido**: [*angered*] Con chi credi di parlare?! Ma, con chi stai parlando?!
**Luigi**: No, no, no! You'll have your chance, you'll have your chance.
[*McQueen is then seen racing, progressing through the race and managing to get to Chick and the King, as McQueen gets beside him*]

**Chick**: Oh, kid's just trying to be a hero, huh? Well, what do you think of this?! [*hits McQueen, causing him to spin*] Yeah, that's it kid. [*But McQueen manages to keep up with going backwards and past Chick.*] What?!
**Tow Mater**: Whoa! *GitRDone!* [*McQueen winks, and turns back around. Mater laughs*] I taught him that. [*poses to Chick's pit crew*] KA CHOW!
**Chick's Crew**: [*getting their eyes hit by the sunlight reflecting off Mater's wing mirror*] **AH!!!**
**Bob Cutlass**: What a move by McQueen, he's caught up to the leaders?
**Darrell Cartrip**: Oh, yeah. This is what it's all about. A 3-way battle for the lead, with 10 to go!
**Tex**: [*chortles*] Look at that boy go out there!
**Chick**: [*Chick then tries to get past McQueen, but gets blocked on several attempts. Chick gasps and grunts, before coming up beside McQueen*]...No You don't! [*presses against McQueen, causing a puncture in one of his rear tires*]
**Lightning McQueen**: Doc, I'm flat! I'm flat!
**Doc Hudson**: Can you get back to the pits?
**Lightning McQueen**: Yeah, yeah. I think so.
**Doc Hudson**: [*noticing Dexter waving a yellow flag*] Hey, got a yellow. Bring it in. Don't tear yourself up, kid. [*Charlie Checker then comes out in front of the King and Chick.*]
**Mack**: We gotta get him back out there fast or we're gonna be a lap down, and we'll never win this race!
**Doc Hudson**: Guido, it's time.
**Chick Crew**: Hey, tiny, you gonna clean his windshield?! [*everyone laughing*]
[*As McQueen comes into the pits, Guido throws the new tires up in the air, quickly takes off the old tires and catches the new tires, and puts them on, lasting four seconds, before McQueen gets going again. Chick's crew then feel shocked, and all of the pities' grilles, except the one of Wide Chick Pity, fall off.*]

**Darrell Cartrip**: I don't believe it!
**Bob Cutlass**: That was the fastest pit stop I've ever seen!
**Darrell Cartrip**: It was a great stop, but he's still gotta beat that pace car out!
**Bob Cutlass**: It's gonna be close!
[*McQueen manages to get back in front of Charlie. His pit crew and then cheer.*]

**Tow Mater**: Yeah!
**Biggest Fan**: [*All of the crowd holler.*] Yeah, baby!
**Fans**: Yeah! [*laughing*]
**Darrell Cartrip**: Yeah! He's back in the race!
**Guido**: [*blows his wheel gun*] Pit-Stop.
[*Then Wide Chick Pitty's grill falls off. All of McQueen's pit crew and then cheer for Guido.*]

**Luigi**: Guido, you did it!
**Tow Mater**: Way to go, Guido!
**Ramone**: Yeah!
[*McQueen manages to catch up to the other racers as Charlie comes back in. The crowd is seen again, cheering, before the camera shows Dexter waving the white flag.*]

**Bob Cutlass**: This is it. We're heading into the final lap and McQueen is right behind the leaders. What a comeback!
**Darrell Cartrip**: A hundred and ninety-nine laps, and, baby, it all comes down to this!
**Doc Hudson**: This is it, kiddo. [*through the radio to McQueen*] You've got 4 turns left, 1 at a time. Drive it in deep and hope it sticks...**GO!**
[*McQueen closes in, revving his engine, and is about to pass Chick, who tries get in front again, but McQueen swerves and goes to the other side.*]

**Chick**: We'll see about that! [*tries to get in front of McQueen, who then brakes, causing Chick to press against the wall, and making McQueen able to go past*]
**Bob Cutlass**: McQueen's going inside! [*But then, Chick rams McQueen off the track, and then hits the King, causing them both to serpentine.*] Chick and The King are loose!
**Darrell Cartrip**: I think McQueen is out of the race! [*McQueen suddenly gets a thought, and turns his front tires right, impressing Doc and surprising the team as it helps McQueen to get back on the track and past the King and Chick.*] McQueen saved it!
**Bob Cutlass**: He's back on the track!
**Doc Hudson**: Float like a Cadillac...
**Lightning McQueen**: Sting like a Beemer!

[*then he rams the King off the track, causing him to go through the air, hitting the infield several times and spinning, before coming to a stop, having huge damage. The crowd gasps at what happened.*]
**Lynda Weathers**: Oh, no.
[*Doc feeling and looking shocked. Then McQueen notices on the circuit's television screen what has happened, then the screen changes to show the newspaper about Doc's crash. Realizing what had happened to Doc, McQueen grinds to a halt before reaching the finish line, leaving the crowd shocked and puzzled. Chick crossing the finish line*]

**Chick**: Yeah! Whoo-hoo! [*goes onto the infield and spins around*] I won, baby! Yeah! Oh, yeah!
**Flo**: What's he up to, Doc?
[*Doc then gets a smile before McQueen drives backwards towards the King. The injured King grunts and moans.*]

**The King**: What are you doing, kid?
**Lightning McQueen**: I think The King should finish his last race. [*begins to push the King along the track*]
**The King**: You just gave up the Piston Cup, you know that?
**Lightning McQueen**: Aw, this grumpy old racecar I know once told me something. It's just an empty cup.
[*Doc smiles, as well as the crowd.*]

**Bob Cutlass**: Darrell, is pushing on the last lap legal?
**Darrell Cartrip**: Hey, man. He's not really pushing him. He's just giving him a little bump draft.
**Chick**: [*still cheering*] Whoa HoHoHoHo! [*stops spinning upon noticing something*] Hey! What?! What's going on?!
**R.M.**: That's what I call racing right there.

**Chick**: Come on, baby, bring it out! Bring out the Piston Cup. Ka-chicka, ka-chicka! [*The trophy appears next to him.*] Yeah-ha-ha! Now, that's what I'm talking about! Hey! How come I'm the only one celebrating is me, huh?! Where are the girls?! Bring on the confetti! [*gets shot at by the confetti*] **Ow!! Ow!!** Easy with the confetti. What's going on? Come on, snap some pictures. I gotta go sign my deal with Dinoco! Ka-chicka! Say it with me. Ka-chicka, ka-chicka, ka-chicka!
**Cameramen**: Boo!
**Mia & Tia**: Boo!
**Chick**: What's wrong with everybody? [*gets hit by a tire*] Ow! Where's the happiness?! [*as the press, Mia and Tia all throw tires, shoes, "C" merchandise, oil cans and cartons at him*] Hey! This is the start of the Chick era! [*leaves with his trophy. Meanwhile, McQueen pushes the King back to the Dinoco stage. Lynda then kisses McQueen on the cheek.*]

**Tex**: Lightning, there's a whole lot more to racing than just winning.
**Dusty**: He was so rusty, when he drove down the street buzzards used to circle the car!
**Folks**: [*laughs*]
**Lightning McQueen**: [*looking towards them*] Thank, you, Mr. Tex, but these Rust-eze guys over there gave me my big break. I'm gonna stick with them.
