Lightning inhaled. "Ok. Here we go. Focus. Speed, I am speed."
"One winner, forty-two losers. I eat losers for breakfast."
The screen then shows McQueen from the back of his left side as his car accelerates and gains on a race car. Then the screen goes dark again
"Did I used to say that?"
"Yes, sir. You did!" someone said.
Lightning opened his eyes. "Aah!"
"Oh, shoot. You can say that all the time." Mater said.
"Mater, what are you doing in here?"
"Well, I just don't want you to be lonely."
"Well, thank you. But, I was just preparing for a race. I need a little quiet."
"Oh, right. You got it, Buddy!"
So Mater walked out of Lightning's trailer.
"Hey, everybody! Listen up! My best friend, Lightning McQueen, needs quiet! Perfect quiet!" he said.
Back inside Lightning's trailer
Lightning chuckled. "Okay, now where was I?"
He inhaled again and closed his eyes. "Racing. Real racing."
Then he saw Doc Hudson aka the Fabulous Hudson Hornet.
Doc laughed. "Huh! That ain't racing. That wasn't even a sundae 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!"
Lightning McQueen: Well, I can't argue with the Doc Hudson.
Doc chuckled. "How true. How true." he said shaking his head.
The flashback ended when Mack knocked on the door.
"Hey, Lightning! Are you ready?" Mack asked.
"Oh yeah." he said and opened his eyes. "Lightning's ready."
He then revs his car's engine and opens his trailer's door.
"This one's for you, Doc." he said smirking.
We zoom down to the track itself as Lightning whizzes past the other racers. Woody and Friends are shown on the crew-chief's podium in McQueen's pit stop and wearing crew-chief headsets, as they are McQueen's crew chiefs]
Sally Carrera: Go, Stickers!
"Excuse me. Pardon me. Best friend comin' through. Go, McQueen! Whoo-hoo!" Mater said pushing past the others.
"Lightning McQueen!" someone said.
"Go, 95! Woohoo!" someone else said.
On the track, Lightning caught up to Cal.
"Hey, Cal! Your blinkers on!" he said.
"What? No it's not. Hey! Hey! Your... blinkers on." he said.
"Good comeback, Cal!" Bobby said behind him.
Then they headed into the pits.
"Into the pits, go Lightning McQueen, Bobby Swift and Cal Weathers. These three are fun to watch, aren't they, Darrell?" Bob said.
"You know, Bob, I can't tell they have more fun on their off-two track." Darrell said while Guido changed Lightning's tires.
Guido shouted something in Italian as Lightning drove away.
"Getting a car wash too, Cal?" he asked.
"No. You're getting a car wash, McQueen." Cal said smirking.
"Good comeback, Cal." said Strip watching him drive away.
Back on the track, Lightning passed the other racers again and wins.
Later Lightning was talking to Shannon Spoke.
"So, Lightning, how do you feel about racing against Bobby and Cal?" Shannon asked.
"They're great. Especially since I started learning about friendship." Lightning said smiling.
Just then, he was splashed by fire extinguisher foam courtesy of Bobby and one of his pitties.
"Congratulations, Cupcake!" Bobby said.
Then Lightning spit out some foam. "They are gonna pay."
In another race, Cal and Lightning were becoming neck and neck and approached the finish line and Cal won.
"Go, Team Dinoco!" Team Dinoco said smiling.
After the race Shannon interviewed Cal.
"Great win today, Cal." Shannon said
"Thank you, Shannon. It was a great boost of power." Cal said then noticed his car's tires were blowing up. "Hey! Hey!" Then he saw Guido behind him. "Guido."
"Pit stop." he said smiling.
Lightning and Bobby burst out laughing.
"Oh, ha-ha. Laugh it up. Real funny." Cal said rolling his eyes and his arms crossed.
