1980 Los Angeles 500

The 1980 Los Angeles 500 race number 31, noted for the miraculous return of Kraig Shiftright who cracked his roof in a crash at the 1980 Spare Mint 400 at Kansas. Kraig wore a headband to reduce pain and had two bandages to heal the cracks in roof which were sealed a week ago. He was nicknamed "Ninja Kraig" this race for placing 8th with a headband and two bandages.

Kraig Shiftright raced the last 42 laps in pain due to his injuries not fully healed but he did not retire from the race and continued on with the pain and struggling through the last two laps. Despite placing 8th everyone including Chick Hicks agreed that Kraig's appearance and race was the real highlight and not Strip Weathers' win.

Strip wins with Don Chapcar second and Chick Hicks third. Alloy Wilson was fourth and Ronald Oaks fifth. Ernie Gearson is sixth and Thomas Tireson seventh. Kraig was 8th.

A crash on the 142nd lap took out Klint Shiftright, James Cleanair, James Robson, Claude Scruggs, Norman Green and Bill Shields.

Another crash on lap 178 took out Bernie Simpson, Billy Ford and Cole Speedland thanks to Johnathan Melter pushing Speedland into Ford and causing Simpson to be involved.

All of the part-timers raced, as well as rookies Claude and his crush Misti.

Tom Landis exploded a tire on lap 191. So did Slide Powers on lap 36 and Sammy Smelter on lap 172.

The 1952 Thomasville 400 is race 29 out of 35 in the Piston Cup of 1952. It's the hottest race of all and is a very historic race. It's won by Doc Hudson doing his famous flip trick over Leroy Heming, a 1951 Chrysler NASCAR who went rookie a year earlier like Doc Hudson. It's also the most historic race of the 1952 season.

This is the race Smokey mentions to Lightning McQueen. Arnold Gears couldn't wave the flag due to being sick and got replaced by a pitty (that's why he appeared in Cars 3 in Ruby and Win95's opinions) who is unnamed.

Secondary Re-Volting racer Jim Herron raced, but DNF after the engine caught fire.

1988 Florida 500

The 1988 Nightdona 500 is known for Andrew Axler winning with The King second and Chick Hicks third. All part-timers and rookie Ruby "Easy" Oaks attend and so do Tom Landis and Don Chapcar as it happened before their deaths. This race is kinda boring because ‘only’ 6 of 36 DNF. The six who DNF were James Cleanair, Ron Pitcar, Sammy Smelter, Mike Seasons, Claude Scruggs and Kevin Racingtire all involved in a crash on lap 54. That was the only caution making it a kinda boring Nightdona 500.
