Eager to get to California as soon as possible, he pushes his big rig, Mack, to travel all night long. However, he struggles to work with others due to his selfishness, which has caused him to fire three crew chiefs and having his pit crew quit after the race. McQueen is desperate to win the race, not only to be the first rookie to win the Piston Cup, but also because it would allow him to leave the unglamorous sponsorship of Rust-Eze, a bumper ointment company, and take The King's place on the prestigious and lucrative Dinoco team. The tiebreaker race is scheduled for one week later at the Los Angeles International Speedway. Chick and the King catch up, resulting in a three-way tie. This causes him to blow both his rear tires on the last lap. While the rest of the running competitors pit for new tires under the pace car, McQueen stays out. McQueen, at the back of the field, avoids a multi car crash caused by Chick. In a world populated by anthropomorphic talking vehicles, the final race of the Piston Cup season begins a rivalry between retiring veteran Strip 'The King' Weathers, frequent runner-up Chick Hicks, and brash rookie sensation Lightning McQueen.
