| − | ==Before the Start== |
||
| + | In 2017, the event is the last race of the 2017 Piston Cup Racing Series season. By then, most stock car race cars have been replaced by "[[Next-Gen|Next-Geration]]" racers. Over nine-tenths through the race, seven-time veteran champion [[Lightning McQueen|Montgomery "Lightning" McQueen]] suffers a nearly fatal rollover crash after blowing his right rear tire, bringing out the red flag, and obviously doesn't continue racing. After the restart, the race continiued until it finished, with rookie front-runner [[Jackson Storm]] placing first, with [[Daniel Swervez]] placing second, [[Chase Racelott]] in third, and [[Tim Treadless]] ending fourth. |
||
| − | Before the race starts, McQueen looks around to see many of his friends gone, replaced with next-generation racers. He then overhears his friend [[Brick Yardley]] get fired by the owner of [[Vitoline]]. McQueen attempts to ask his friend [[Bobby Swift]] if he knows what is happening with Brick, but coming out of his garage is a next generation racer, not Bobby. McQueen figures out that it is not Bobby just as he drives off, saying his name is [[Daniel Swervez]]. |
||
| + | After the race, [[Jackson Storm]], who was the racer with most points, won the 2017 Piston Cup. |
||
| − | ==The Race== |
||
| − | As the practice lap is about to end, McQueen realizes that all of his friends might be gone. [[Jackson Storm]] goes up to him and says "Hey champ, where'd all your friends go?" before driving up into pole position. McQueen is now determined to beat Storm. Just as the green flag dropped, McQueen gives everything he has. He has a bit of trouble against some next-gens early on in the race. Towards the middle of the race, McQueen has overtaken almost every next-gen. Eventually, he is in second, behind just one more, Jackson Storm. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==The Crash== |
||
| − | When there are just forty laps left, Jackson Storm and Lightning McQueen make their way into the pit row. McQueen urges Guido to change his tires fast, as he has to get back into the race before Jackson does. Just as Guido finishes changing his last tire, McQueen rushes out of the pits while Jackson is still in them, allowing him to take the lead. However, it does not take long for Jackson to catch up to McQueen. When he does, he tells McQueen that he had a good run and to enjoy his retirement as he speeds past him, retaking the lead. McQueen watches in shock as Storm drives further and further away. In the process, [[Daniel Swervez]] and [[Chase Racelott]] also overtake McQueen, who becomes fed up with losing and pushes himself hard trying to catch up to Jackson, Daniel, and Chase. Eventually, it becomes too much for him to handle, and he spins out of control and rams into the wall. [[Tim Treadless]] and [[Harvey Rodcap]] watch in fear as McQueen goes airborne. After doing a barrel roll across the track multiple times and suffering serious damage, he stops. Ambulances, pitties, and his [[Radiator Springs]] pals rush toward him and he is removed from the race, while Jackson Storm wins the race, and the 2016 Piston Cup. |
