Sure enough it was the race before the piston cup. If one of them wins it will be The King's seventh one, if it was Chick's it would be his second and if it was Lightning it would be his seventeenth. There was two hundred laps and they were on lap one hundred and seven. Lightning had just finished getting some new tires and was in third.

Chick saw him and was about to get him but he went left. A few minutes later he was on second and close to Chick. Chick smirked and before Lightning could do anything he was hit hard in his worst spot. He then slammed his break to the side and took deep breaths.

"You ok?" Doc asked.

"No, Doc it hurts to much to even move." he said wincing tight.

"Ok, I'll take it from there."

When they switched places and Lightning was on his spot he hurt bad.

"Alright Doc, be careful out there."

"Well it looks like Lightning is switching with the Fabulous Hudson Hornet after the crash." Bob said.

"After that crash let's hope that he can make it to the piston cup."

After hearing what one of them said about his crashes he got the picture of the first one in his head strong. Doc could tell by the sound of his breath and Flo could see the look of his face.

"Lightning, are you ok?"

He didn't answer.

"Come on kid, just focus on now." Doc said a little nervous and mad.

He was nervous because he would still see them all and freeze during training, seeing something or even during one of their home races. And mad because of the speakers making him zone out after hearing it.

At home the others weren't too happy either.

"Is dad ok?" Lily asked her mom.

"I don't know hun, it looks like he's staring off into space. He's probably remembering what happened with all of them." she said.

Back at the race Doc was still trying to get him back.

"Come on rookie, think of the fun races we have together at home."

Doc heard him starting to snap out of it.

"That's it. All the tricks I taught ya during your first training we had."

While he was telling him things and Lightning was snapping out of it The King was a little worried and mad to.

'Why did they do that? Everyone knows what they were, the first one was worse than both mine and '54!'he thought.

About ten minutes later he was back to what he was before they said it. When they were on the last lap Doc was in second place. So he sped up and just like Lightning's first piston cup it was almost a tie between Doc and The King. After that he went over to Lightning worried.

"You ok kid?"

He nodded slowly.

"Alright, let's see what's wrong, physically and mentally."

He nodded again. So they left and Doc looked at his bad spot.

"Looks like you're gonna be fine. You can do the piston cup to." Doc said.

"Ok." he said.

Doc sighed. "Don't worry kid, it's from the past. Think of all the good things and current things."

Lightning was still seeing pictures of what had happened over the time. When they were on their way home he was finally back to normal.
