Welcome back to the Dinoco 400. I'm Bob Cutlass, here with my good friend, Darrell Cartrip. We're midway through what may turnout to be an historic day for racing. Bob, my oil pressure's through the roof. If this gets more exciting, they're gonna have to tow me outta the booth! Right you are Darrell. Three cars are tied for the season points lead, heading into the final race of the season. And the winner of this race will win the season title and the Piston Cup. Does The King, Strip Weathers, have one more victory in him before retirement? He's been Dinoco's golden boy for years! Can he win them one last Piston Cup? And, as always, in the second place spot we find Chick Hicks. He's been chasing that tailfin his entire career. Chick thought this was his year. His chance to finally emerge from The King's shadow. But the last thing he expected was... Lightning McQueen! You know, I don't think anybody expected this. The rookie sensation came into the season unknown. But everyone knows him now. Will he be the first rookie to win a Piston Cup and land Dinoco? The legend, the runner-up, and the rookie! Three cars, one champion!

They even got Lewis Hamilton in the second and third movie as his own car in the second and as Cruz’s assistant (English dub). Finally, to top it off, they had Sebastian vetted do the German dub of Cruz’s assistant and Fernando Alonso as the Italian version.
