2005 Dinoco 400 (RomanSetGo’s Universe)

The **2005 Dinoco 400** is a race that appears at the beginning of the Cars movie. Lightning McQueen, Strip Weathers, and Chick Hicks had a three way tie when McQueen’s tires blew out. At Lap 195, Chick Hicks causes a huge wreck by pushing Winford Bradford Rutherford causing him to spin and crash into Murray Clutchburn and turn it into a huge 33-car wreck with McQueen avoiding it. After the wreck, the racers head to the pits when Chick Hicks noticed that McQueen made it out and was not pitting due to firing 3 crew chiefs. When the cars get out, Chick Hicks is fallen behind as they enter the restart. McQueen led most of the laps after the restart. On Lap 301, McQueen entered the pits and refuses to change tires and takes off and continues leading more laps. On the final lap, McQueen's rear tires blew out when he was about to lap the racers. Chick and The King are catching up to McQueen while he moves slowly after his tires blew out. At the finish line, McQueen, Strip, and Chick made a three-way tie. After the race, McQueen and Mack drove out of the track and they’re headed to California.

## Trivia

* As an animation error, Eugene gets through the wreck. But at the next scene, he is seen colliding with James Cleanair.

* At the scoring pylon, numbers 3, 9, and 113 appeared. In real life, Austin Dillon races for number 3. Chase Elliot races for number 9. And 113 is a reference to a classroom in California Institute of Arts, A113.
* As an animation error, Kevin Shiftright and Aiken Axler are in 4th and 5th place at the final lap of the Dinoco 400. Before the three-way tie, James Cleanair and Eugene Carbueski are both in 4th and 5th place before crossing the finish line offscreen after McQueen, The King, and Chick cross the finish line and tied.
