2021 Copper Canyon 400

This historic race is historic just because of Lightning McQueen's return to the Piston Cup after replacing Cruz Ramirez who was injured in the 2021 Moscow Grand Prix in the World Grand Prix. Unfortunately Lightning did not win. Chase Racelott was the race winner with Bubba Wheelhouse Jr 2nd and Paul Conrev 3rd. Lightning starting 10th quickly dropped to the back of the pack because he had not raced in a long time but ended up finishing 21st. Everyone was happy he finished the race.

All DNFs in the race were because of engine failure.
