Okay, here we go. Said a voice. Focus. Speed. I am speed.
Race cars zoomed across the track.
One winner, 42 losers. He continued. I eat losers for breakfast.
A race car begins to pass another racer.
Did I used to say that? He asked himself.
Yes, sir, you did. Said another voice.
McQueen open his eyes in surprise and sees Mater in the trailer with him.
You used to say that all the time. Mater said.
Mater, what are you doing in here? McQueen asked.
Well, I didn't want you to be lonely. He answered.
Thank you. McQueen said stuttered a little. But I'm kind of preparing for a race. I need a little quiet.
Oh, right Mater said and leaves as Lightning opens the trailer door. You got it, buddy.
Hey, everybody, listen up. Mater shouted catching the attention of several forklifts. My best friend, Lightning McQueen needs quiet. Perfect quiet!
Inside McQueen heard the whole thing as Mater honks his horn and leaves. And McQueen chuckles a little.
Okay. He said getting back in the zone. Where was I? Racing. Real racing.
A flashback plays showing McQueen with Doc.
That ain't racing. Doc scoffed. That wasn't even a Sunday drive. That was one lap. Racing is 500 of those. Everybody fighting to move up. Lap after lap. Inside, outside, inches apart. Never touching. Now that's racing.
Well, I can't argue with The Doc Hudson. McQueen chuckled.
How true, how true. Doc chuckled as well.
There was some banging as McQueen chuckles.
Hey, Lightning, you ready? Mack asks from outside.
Oh, yeah. He said. Lightning's ready.
Then he revs his engine and leaves the trailer glance at a photo of Doc.
This one's for you, Doc. Said Lightning.
High above a blimp is watching the race below.

Lightning passes several racers as Sally, Sarage, Filmore, Luigi and Guido watch from the pits.
Whoo-hoo! Come on, stickers. Sally cheered.
Pardon me. Mater said coming with a big lightning bolt hat on. Excuse me. Best friend coming through. Go, McQueen! Whoo-hoo!
Race fans watch as the racers pass by. And a little car shouted Lightning's name.
Meanwhile a large rv squeezes through the crowd.
Go, 95! He then honks his horn.
Meanwhile Cal is in the lead.
Hey, Cal, your blinker's on. McQueen called passing by.
What? He said checking. No, it's n...
He then realize they were only stickers.
Hey! Your blinker's on.
Good comeback, Cal. Bobby said passing him.
Many laps later McQueen, Bobby and Cal were racing for the lead. Then the racing trio pulls to the side heading to pits.
Heading into the pit goes Lightning McQueen, Bobby Swift and Cal Weathers. Bob Cutlass announced. These three are fun to watch, aren't they, Darrell?
You know, Bob, I can't tell if they have more fun on or off the track. Darrell chuckled.
Meanwhile Guido has finish adding the last 2 tires on McQueen and takes off.
Finito! He said.
You getting a car wash too, Cal? He asked passing by.
No, you're getting a car wash, McQueen. Cal said as Bobby takes off and his pit crew finishes him.
Good comeback, Cal. His uncle Strip weathers now his crew chief said. And Cal takes off.
The 3 racers quickly gain some ground and McQueen pulls to the lead and smiles as he crosses the finish line with the others close by.
Later McQueen is with Shannon Spokes for after race coverage.
Lightning, how do you keep your focus racing against Bobby and Cal? Shannon asked.
I think the key is we respect each other. Lightning said. These guys are real class acts.
then suddenly a explosion of whipped cream hits Lightning, as Cal and Bobby and one of their pit crew members pass by. And the Dinoco crew member rips open confetti on him.
Congratulations, cupcake. Bobby said passing by.
Then Lightning spits some cream off his mouth and said. Oh, they are gonna pay.
At next week's race.
McQueen is in the lead and Cal quickly got next to him, soon they were racing towards the finish. And it was Cal who took the win. And his pit crew cheered and tossed in the air.
Go, Dinoco!
Later Shannon spoke with Cal.
Great win today, Cal. She said.
As Cal was talking for some reason some of them were trying not to laugh.
Thank you Shannon. Cal said. It was a great boost and I was...
Then suddenly his tires begin to overfill.
Hey! Hey!
Then the pit crew started to laugh and Guido appears from behind him.
Guido! Cal said turning and saw Lightning and Bobby who were responsible.
Pit stop. Guido scoffs and the 3 left.
Ha. ha. Laugh it up. Cal said and chases after them. Real funny.
Then his front tire pops.
Back home at Radiator Springs McQueen is doing a practice lap and passes Sheriff, Luigi, Guido and Mater at 196 mph.
Keep it going, buddy! Mater cheered.
Next week's race McQueen gains the lead and wins. Later McQueen saw Rusty and Dusty.
Hey! Are my sponsors happy today? He asked chuckling.
Stop winning for crying out loud. Dusty said. We're runnig out of bumper cream to sell.
They laugh at that and Tex appears.
Lighting McQueen! He said.
Hey, Big Tex. He said. How's my favorite competitor?
That put a big smile on Cal.
Just say the word and I'll boot Cal off the Dinoco team and replace with you. Tex said and laugh as Cal's smile dies to a frown.
You know I can hear you, right? Cal asked. I'm right here.
Bye, Cal. Lightning said leaving. See you next week. Or not.
2 of Cal's crew members smirked. And Cal gave his sponsor a stern look.
Oh, come on now. Tex said. I'm joking.
Next week's race.
Go, little buddy! Mater cheered wearing a racing hat with a small McQueen moving around on it. Whoo-hoo! And big buddy too!
On the track the racers zoomed across the track.
Another great finish in the making. Bob announced. McQueen and Swift nose to nose.
How's the view back there, Bobby? McQueen called.
Well, you better not blink. Bobby scoffs. I'll blow right past you.
The flag is out. Bob said. It's the final stretch. McQueen in the lead.
The racers begin to approach the final turn.
Okay, let's see what you got. Lightning said.
Whoo-whee! Bobby shouted.
Meanwhile behind them, and fast approaching was a mysterious racer. He was more streamlined and has different spoiler, he was all black with a blue S and his racing number is 2.0 and has rookie stripes.
Then the mystery rookie zooms pass McQueen taking the lead, and win.
Holy cow! Darrell yelled.
Whoa! Bob yelled as well. It's Jackson Storm for the win. A huge upset!
The mystery racer named Jackson Storm smirks at his win. Leaving Lightning, Bobby and Cal confuse.
Neither Lightning nor Bobby ever saw him coming. Darrell said.
It's one thing to start fast, but we haven't seen anyone cross the line with that kind of speed and power since a young Lightning McQueen first arrived on the scene.
The 3 racers came in the pit row and saw Jackson Storm on the victory platform.
Hey, Bobby? McQueen asked. Who is that?
That's, um, Jackson Storm. Bobby answered.
Yeah. Cal said. He's one of the rookies.
Jackson then leaves the platform.
Thank you, guys. He said. Thank you. No, I appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Then Lighting appears wanting to congratulate him.
Hey. Jackson Storm, right? Great race today.
Wow! Thank you, Mr. McQueen. Storm said. You have no idea what a pleasure it is for me to finally beat you.
Oh, thanks. McQueen then realize something. Wait. Hang on. Did you say meet or beat?
I think you heard me. Said Storm in a slight glare.
Uh, what?
Storm, can we some pictures? A reporter asked.
Yeah, yeah. He answered. Come on. Let's get a picture. You know what? Get a ton of pictures because champ here has been a role model of mine... for years now. And I mean a lot of years. Right? I love this guy.
Storm then leaves to his trailer.
I think I touched a nerve. Storm said entering inside and highers his music, and the trailer door closed.
Then his hauler leaves.
And McQueen was very confused of Storm's behavior.
