Buick Regal Racecar 86 and Whitewolf 2192: Thank you for the kind reviews. Here's the next chapter of the story.

The Rookie

22 Years Later:

The first race of the racing season:

Lightning McQueen had a feeling that this is his year to win the Piston Cup. He had been training with Doc for months now; and he's ready to race again. After finishing talking to the Rust.eze's brothers in the sponsor's tent, Lightning was heading down to the Crew Pit where Doc and his pit crew were waiting for him. He was about to go when somebody called out his name.

"Your Lightning McQueen, am I right?" said a female voice.

Lighting turned to his right and saw a young blue Hudson Hornet coming his way. She looked exactly like Doc.

"Yes I am and who are you?' he asked as he watched her come and parked in front of him.

"My name is Samantha McCoy, I'm Dinoco's new driver." She said looking at him.

"So your Dinoco's new driver, I guess you have big tracks to fill, huh?" said Lightning knowing very well that the Dinoco's driver before her was the King.

"Yeah I know, I have some big tracks to fill but I do my hardest to fill them if I can." She said.

While she was talking, Lightning didn't know why but she really reminds him of Doc Hudson, his crew chief, but how can that be? Doc never had children as far as he knows.

Before he can figure it out, Doc rolls up. He didn't notice the car Lightning was talking to.

"Kid, it's time to head down to the track." He said before taking a look at the car in front of Lighting.

The young blue Hudson Hornet took a glimpse of Doc; she couldn't believe how much she looks like him.

"You're most be Doc Hudson, McQueen's Crew Chief," she said surprised.

Doc turns his deep blue eyes on the younger Hudson Hornet and was surprise to see a younger version of him except for him being a she.

"And you are Miss?" he asked politely.

"My name's Sam McCoy, I'm Dinoco's new driver." She said introducing herself.

Before they can say anything, Sam's Crew Chief was calling her name.

Sam knew that they had to get down to the starting line.

"It's a nice meeting you two, I see you on the track, Lighting." Then she headed down to the track.

"That girl looks so familiar, but who is she?' said Doc quietly to himself. Trying hard to remember why she looks familiar but nothing came up.

"You need to get down there yourself, Kid" said Doc driving back down to the pit crew. Lightning agreed and followed Sam down to the tracks.

Chick noticed the new comer headed towards the starting line.

"So you're the car that took the Dinoco sponsorship." He said in a ignoring tone. Everybody knew that Chick wanted Dinoco but after what happened last year, they didn't give it to him. Instead she got it. This angered Chick.

"If I were you, I watch yourself around Chick Hicks" warned Lightning as he pulled up next to her.

"Why?" questioned Sam looked a little worried.

"He wanted Dinoco but after what he did to the King last year, they didn't give it to him, instead you ended up getting sponsored by them." Said Lightning.

She looked over at Chick. It looks like she just made a enemy.

Then the flag dropped and the race began. Chick was in head of the race for awhile until Lightning came and then Sam. This was like that for a few rounds.

Until the last lap where Sam took the lead and ended up winning the race. Lightning came in second while Chicks came in Third. The three cars went up to the podium. An official car came out and handed Sam the first place trophy. She was grinning. Tex was hooting and whistling celebrating his driver's first victory. So after talking to the reports, she slowly went over to the Dinoco's tent to celebrate with her pit crew and sponsors.

Lightning went straight to his sponsors' tent.

"Congrats on being in second place, boss." Said Mack standing next to Doc and the Rusteze's brothers.

"Thanks Mack" said Lightning as he went to get a can of oil and parked himself next to Doc.

Doc stayed quiet while Lightning enjoyed his can of oil. But that didn't last long. Lightning noticed his friend/Crew Chief expression.

"What's going on Doc? Are you still figuring out Sam? He asked.

Doc looked at Lightning but didn't say anything. So he went back to his can thinking.

"This girl does look a lot and I mean a lot like Doc. She could have passed as his daughter." Lighting thought to himself.

"Maybe there more to Doc's past that he not telling me." Lighting continued thinking to himself.

About half an hour later, Lightning and Doc was getting ready to leave. Lighting was about to enter his trailer when he saw Sam enter her trailer and her driver closed the door, hooked himself up to the trailer and then they left.

Lightning smiled and went into the trailer and then Doc entered into the trailer, then Mack closed the door, hooked himself up to the trailer and off they went heading home to Radiator Springs. Not knowing that a certain 86 Green car was watching as Sam's truck leaves and then slowly followed them after watching Lightning's trailer leave the building.

"Where to, Sam?" asked Buck, her driver on the small screen in her trailer.

"Home" she said before she turned off the screen and fell fast asleep.

Her driver, Buck drove all though the night while she slept in the back. Then out of nowhere someone or something hit Sam's trailer hard. The latch that hooked Buck to the trailer broke sending the trailer out of control. Buck could hear Sam's screaming his name inside her trailer.

"Samantha" he screamed as he watches helplessly as the trailer went over the cliff. The trailer flipped over and over and over until it stopped at the side of the highway.

Luckily for her, Mack, Doc and Lightning weren't far behind from them. Mack was the first to spot the damage trailer.

"Boss, isn't that Miss. McCoy's trailer?" he said worriedly.

"What do you mean, Mack?" questioned Doc from inside Lightning's trailer.

"Her trailer looks plenty beaten up, there no sign of her or her driver." Said Mack.

"Park somewhere Mack and let's us out to check if she still in there." Said Lighting.

So Mack parked at the side of the road and Doc and Lightning came out of the trailer as fast as they could.

"Holy Ford" said Doc as both cars went quickly over to check out the trailer.

"Sam are you in there?" said Lightning as he tries to found a way to open the back of the trailer door.

Doc heard a hoarsely help from inside the trailer.

"She's in there, Kid," said Doc as they hurriedly opened the door; they gasped when they saw her. She looked plenty dented up, and she was upside down. She looked at the two cars before she lost conscious.
