While Mack progressed on his journey he went past poles and birds. And while he drove, he got out some fresh air and to fly for a little while...
"Oh... Oh, I needed this..." Lightning said being massaged by brushes then heard his phone ring. "Hello?
"Is this Lightning McQueen, the world's fastest racer?" someone said.
"Is this Harv, the world's greatest agent?" Lightning said.
"And it is such an honor to be your agent and it almost hurts to take 10% of your winnings and merchandising and ancillary rights in perpetuity anyway. What a race! Hot champ?! I did- I didn't see it, but I heard you were great."
"Um... Thanks, Harv." Lightning said as he pressed buttons to change TV channels showing the finish of the previous race
"Listen, they're giving you 20 tickets for the tiebreaker thing in Cali. I'll pass 'em on to your friends. You shoot me the names. You let Harv rock it for you, alright, baby?"
"Right! Friends! Yes, there's, um..."
Lightning looked toward, who all just shook their heads at him to tell him to not say anything about them at all.
'I don't have anyone.'
"Okay, I get it, Mr. Popular, so many friends you can't even narrow it down, hey, when you get to town, you better make time for your best friend, you gotta break bread with your mishpocheh here."
"Yeah, yeah, that would be great! We should totally..."
"Okay, I gotta jump, kid. L-Let me know how it goes. I'm out."
As the call ended the dial tone hummed and Lightning sighed. Then he saw some melodic beeping and wheels squeaking was heard.
"What?! A minivan?!" Lightning said on radio. "Oh, come on, Mack, you're in the slow lane, this is Lightning McQueen you're hauling here!"
"Just stopping off for a quick breather, kid. Old Mack needs a rest." Mack said as he started to go onto the entrance to the where is going.
"Absolutely not. We're driving straight to all night till we get to California, we agreed to it!"
"All night?! May I remind you, federal DOT regs sta-"
"Come on, I need to get there before Chick get hang with Dinoco."
Mack sighed as he saw some hotels.
"All those sleeping people in hotels!" he said on the radio. "Hey, kid, I don't know if I can make it."
"Oh, sure you can, Mack. Look, it'll be easy, I'll stay up with you!"
"All night?"
"All night long."
Later that night Lightning was sleeping and snored.
Mack was trying to stay awake while his engines slowed down and his eyes started to shut. Then he snored but woke up. Then he gasped and blubbered and grunted as he tried to keep his eyes open. But they closed again. He snored, and then woke up, gasped and blubbered for about five seconds, and tried to keep his eyes open.
Then rap music was heard as close-ups of the Delinquent Road Hazards with their engines revving came. Their DJ was playing a short song called Rollin' in the Rear view. Wingo opened his shades. Then him, Boost and DJ overtook a car onto the left lane, then overtook another car onto the right lane. They then overtook a driver named Duff Wrecks onto the middle lane. and the left of another. The traffic's horns are heard beeping. Snot Rod, meanwhile, was overtaking the first car onto the right lane and going along the same lane until he overtakes Duff. After, he then starts to sneeze. Snot Rod sniffles, and sneezes. Snot Rod's sneezing causes himself to do an instant acceleration, open his throttle wide and shoot flames out of his headers, to which he then catches up to the other tuners as they come towards Mack. DJ drives onto the right lane beside, while Wingo and Boost drive onto the left lane. Snot Rod is behind Mack. Wingo then notices his reflection on Mack's trailer, and turns his interior lights on. Wingo chuckled, Boost and DJ get in front of Mack, who was still concentrating to not fall asleep.
"Hey, yo, DJ!" Boost said.
"What up?!" DJ asked.
"We got ourselves a nodder!"
DJ chuckled and Boost drove onto the right lane, while DJ drove onto the middle lane that Mack's on. DJ then played the song Songbird.
"Pretty music." Mack said as he fell asleep and snored.
"Yo, Wingo! Lane change, man!" Boost said and pushed Mack onto the left lane towards Wingo, pushed Mack back towards Boost.
Wingo chuckled. "Right back at ya!"
He continued to chuckle.
"Yeah!" Snot Rod said.
"Oops! I missed!" Boost said getting o the other side.
"You going on vacation?" Snot Rod asked while he dodged in front.
The vibration of the hard shoulder causes, Lightning to move slowly forward as he is still sleeping and snores. One of his bobble heads then fell onto a button which opens the trailer's door. The hard shoulder's vibration continues to make, he moved forward onto the door which is pressing on the ground and causing sparks.
Wingo chuckled when Snot Rod sniffled.
"Oh no, Snot Rod!" Boost said.
"He's gonna blow!" Wingo said.
DJ, Boost and Wingo then drove away as Snot Rod was still besides Mack and starting to sneeze.
"Ah...ah...ah...achoo!" Snot Rod said.
While he sneezed Snot Rod accelerated away and waking Mack up.
"GESUNDHEIT!" Mack said then chuckled. "One should never drive while drowsy."
While Lightning started to fall off the trailer door onto the highway. Then the trailer door closed. The sounds of tires squealing and horns honking were heard as some traffic drive around them still sleeping, Lightning woke up, then the sound of a horn honking loudly is heard as a truck heads towards them.
"Ahh!" he yelled startled and jolted wide-awake.
Once he was awoke he took out his keys and drove out of the way, and continue driving the wrong way while dodging some more cars.
He exclaimed then saw three trucks on all three lanes driving towards them.
He gasped while they honked their horns.
"Ahh!" he yelled then drove onto the grass median strip.
He panted heavily as he saw a queue of trucks driving away.
"Mack!" he said then drove back onto the lane, grunting as he drove in front of some traffic honking their horns.
He continued driving faster and overtaking some cars while he tried to find Mack.
"Mack!" he said then came across the queue of trucks and a few cars.
Then he accelerated faster, trying to find which truck is Mack.
"Mack! Hey, Mack! Mack!"
Then he noticed a truck exiting the highway onto another road, thinking that it was Mack.
"Mack! Mack, wait for me!"
His engine was heard revving as he turned onto the same road that the truck is driving along.
His tires squealed as he slid onto the road, and drove along the road with the truck far ahead.
"Mack!"
The driver, whose face wasn't seen properly, then crossed a level crossing without barriers. Afterwards, the bell started to ring as the pair of antique 'upper-quadrant' wigwag crossing signals wave.
Lightning then noticed this and look to their left to see a train coming. He and then go faster as he could. The train driver, noticed him and bellows his horn. Lightning got closer and closer to the level crossing. Thanks to good timing, he crosses the level crossing just in time before Trev could hit him.
"Mack! Mack!" he continued then got closer to the truck, who is slowing down at a 3-way junction.
"Mack! Mack... wait up!"
He started coughing from the truck's fumes.
"Mack. Mack! Mack!" he repeated then drove alongside the truck, but saw the trailer's side show a sponsor for 'Recycled Batteries'.
'Huh?' he thought.
The screen then shows the truck, who is actually a Peterbilt named Jerry Recycled Batteries and is not Mack at all.
"What? You're not Mack." he said.
"Mack?! I ain't no Mack, I'm a Peterbilt for dang sake!" Peterbilt said then drove off. "Turn on your lights, you moron!"
"Mack... the Interstate." he said then moved backwards and drove left, forgetting that he was actually on the right road to the Interstate before driving onto the wrong road.
While he drove past a billboard where Sheriff was, with his car's roaring engine waking him up.
Sheriff gasped and woke up. Then he looked behind him and looked suspicious at the person.
"Not in my town, you don't." he said and chased after Lightning with his siren wailing.
"Oh, no. Oh, maybe he can help me!" Lightning said noticing Sheriff.
.Suddenly, he heard Sheriff backfiring and thought that Sheriff was shooting at them.
"He's shooting at me?! Why is he shooting at me?!"
"I haven't gone this fast in years." Sheriff said and grunted as he backfires again. "I'm gonna blow a gasket or somethin'." he said while his car started backfiring again.
"Serpentine, serpentine, serpentine!" Lightning said.
"What in the blue blazes?! Crazy hot-rodder!" Sheriff said noticing his serpentine
So he continued chasing Lightning and the whole team as his siren continued wailing.
While he continued being chased by Sheriff they started to see Radiator Springs in the distance.
"What? That's not the Interstate!" he said.
Suddenly, Sheriff backfired again causing Lightning to screaming as his car hits some traffic cones.
Lightning then drove off the road, and came across a giant cone.
"Ahh!" he yelled and they all stopped themselves to watch he go out of control, helpless to stop him.
His tires screeching, then drive away across the road. He comes up towards a fence.
"No, no, no, no!" he said and hit the fence, getting it caught on his car.
"Ooff!" he said then headed towards a sign.
"Ahhhh!" he yelled and then drove to the left, heading for Flo's V8 Cafe.
He came, driving out of control and knocking over some cans.
"Incoming!" Sarge said.
"Whoa, man!" Filmore said.
"No!" Sarge said.
Then Sarge, Fillmore and Ramone ran out of the way. The fence hit Ramone's car. Guido hid behind the sign.
"Hey, you scratch my car's paint!" Ramone said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" Lightning said.
"My tires!" Luigi yelled.
He then drove along the main road towards, with tires all over his car. Lightning grunted as he used his windshield whippers out a tire in his window.
Red gasped and ran into the building, while Lightning's continued driving along the road, spotting Stanley's statue.
"Ahh!" he screamed and then drove around the statue, while hitting Red's flowers.
Red gasped at his flowers being hit, the fence got caught on Stanley's statue. Lightning noticed, and tried to move backwards to get away from the statue. His tires squealing, and the cables vibrating as the statue started to come off. Finally, the statue got up into the air.
Lightning stopped driving, glad that the statue was gone.
Suddenly, the statue lands in front of him on the road.
"Ahh!" he yelled and turned around and drove away, while pulling Stanley's statue.
The pole beneath the base was destroying the road.
"Ahh!" he yelled while Flo, Ramone, Fillmore, Sarge and the whole of all watch as Lightning's scream went past them.
The statue continued damaging the road before finally going up a ramp beside the road. The ramp split in half as the statue landed on some telephone wires.
He grunted as he struggled to move, then lost his grip, and the force pulled his back. His car ended up hanging from the telephone wires as Stanley's statue flies through the air.
"Fly away, Stanley. Be free!" Filmore said while Red gasped as the statue came towards him, and ran back into the courthouse.
Then the statue landed back in its place and the water resumed shooting out. Red then looked with shock. The music resumed as Sheriff drives slowly to Lightning who was still hanging from the telephone wires.
"Boy, you're in a heap of trouble." Sheriff said with his arms crossed and shook his head.
Lightning sighed, closed his eyes then passed out.
He was sleeping in the Radiator Springs Municipal Impound that morning as he started to regain consciousness.
