In a world populated by anthropomorphic talking vehicles, the final race of the Piston Cup season ends in a three-way tie for first place between retiring veteran Strip The King Weathers, frequent runner-up Chick Hicks, and brash rookie sensation Lightning McQueen; McQueen finishes repaving the road, reinvigorating the town’s residents, and decides to spend an extra day in Radiator Springs with his new friends, but his time there is cut short when Mack and the media descend on the town.
