NOTE: I do not own Robert Scott Marshall. He belongs to Adventurewildlife. I was also inspired to make this story after watching a mystery movie and thought about how cool it would be if Cruz did solve a crime and became an amateur sleuth as she is also a racer. Anyway i hope you like my story and let me know if you like mysteries to. Also one more note. I will be uploading more chapters so that's why this story is in progress.

"And we have come to another year of Piston Cup racing." announced Darrell Cartrip.

Bob Cutlass chimed in. "Right you are Darrell. After winning the Florida 500 Cruz Ramirez already has four wins. Team Dinoco is looking for another win."

"Well, she'll get it because this year has a lot of opportunities." replied Darrell.

In the pits, Lightning McQueen and his pit crew were keeping a watch on Cruz. Lately she has been getting flats and has had to pit and as a result, Tex Dinoco who not only owned Dinoco, but now owned Rusteze, would always have to talk to Lightning and his crew about the problem. However, the plans never worked out.

By the end of the race, Cruz had her paint scratched after she had slammed the wall many times. Tex looked at her and could not believe how much paint came off her.

"Cruz, hon that's a nasty scratch." replied Tex. At this point he knew he would have to call the body shop team.

"Sorry sir." replied Cruz, "I tried not to hit the wall, but I guess I tried too hard."

"Mm." Tex replied in a disappointed tone. He left to call the body shop team. He wanted them to fix his racer before the race next weekend. Meanwhile, crews began to start packing up their trailers and were getting ready to leave.

Soon, Tex came back. He was able to send Cruz early to be repaired.

"Cruz, come on we have to get you repaired tomorrow. For now though, let's get our stuff packed and then start getting ready for the next race."

"Yes sir." replied Cruz and followed Tex outside to leave the stadium after everything was packed inside her trailer.
