(Lightning was a Rookie. He just got in a 3 way tie with Strip, "The King" Weathers and Chick Hicks. Meanwhile, The Celestian Alliance landed near the stadium where Lightning was racing. Juumba told the kids to look around. They decided to go inside Lightning McQueen's trailer. As soon as they get in, Mack drove the trailer to the Rust Eze tent, ran by their creators, brothers, "Dusty" and "Rusty" Rust-Eze. Mack didn't know that there were kids inside the trailer. Lightning McQueen sponsored the product, but hated it. It wasn't good for his image.)
Lightning McQueen: What are you kids doing here?
Lilo: Sorry, we didn't know it was your trailer. I'm, "Lilo" and these are my friends.
Lightning: I'm "Lightning McQueen."
Lilo: We're going to leave now.
Mack: No, I can use some company.
Lilo: Okay.
Lightning: This will be a long trip.
(Then they drove off to California that was held next week.)
