"Ok,Focus,I am speed,one winner,42 losers,I east losers for breakfast,Breakfast,maybe I should've had breakfast,breaky would be good for me,no no no,stay focused,speed,faster than fast,quicker the quick,I am Lightning"Lightning perked his ears up when he heard his driver knocking on his trailer."Hey

Lightning,you ready?" He asked. "Oh yeah,Lightning's ready"He driver opened the door for him,and he started walking out of the were everywhere,human and wolves alike,but Lightning didn't mind,he liked the crowd barked and cheered when the cameras focused on did his famous'Kachow'His lightning bolt stickier lighting up from the cameras.

In the track,he showed off zooming through the rest of the wolves,even pushing off the wall to get past a wolf.A green wolf knocked another wolf of the tack,sending him skidding,Lightning caught up to him and another wolf,who Lightning knew quite well,as a 'The King'Weathers,but most wolves called him The King while were tide for the most points of the season,he knew this race was to decide the winner,because none of the other wolves racing had not nearly as much points as the three,Lightning also knew it he won this,he'd be the first rookie ever to win the Piston Cup,he was early on the scene to,so that alone would be battled Chick Hicks for the second place spot,but Chick seemed to have enough,Doing the same dirty trick that he did with the other wolf,sending Lightning spinning,as soon as he stabled himself,he raced after the leaders,suddenly he was Chick knock another wolf of balance,causing a wreck,Lightning dodged the best he could,knowing he needed to find a way out.How can I find a way out?He noticed to wolves liked up on each other,unconscious.Wait a minute Lightning zoomed towards them,getting enough speed,he jumped on them,some how getting enough hight to get above the wreck,he winked at some fans,before landing on the ground,he got back up quickly,and raced to catch up,doing a celebratory Kachow. "McQueen!McQueen!" The crowd barked and else went to the pits,but Lightning stayed out to take the lead.

Lightning stayed in the lead and nothing eventful really happened the next several laps,and Lightning finally decided to pit because he was wolves in his team handed him water,and he realized his paws were bleeding from the hard landing he did earlier,one of the wolves noticed. "We need bandages,come one now let's go!" Lightning shook his head as they approached.I have to get back out there,I'm probably gonna regret this later "No bandages,just water"He said,then sped off,though he heard the same wolf bark"You need bandages,you idiot!" As he took off.

The last lap He wagged his tail with excitement,he looked like he was far behind,but he knew that wasn't the case,he had a huge lead.I'm gonna win the Piston Cup! "Checkered flag,here I come"He said confidently,then,at the worst timing ever,he heard a small crack in his back knew he broke it because it was dragging and The King clearly noticed because they were speeding towards him.Come on he thought ,the worst thing happened,his right paw twisted.No! He dragged his injured back legs,The King and Chick gaining on him,nearly on his they crossed the finish line,Lightning stuck his tounge out,hoping that would win it,because he was out of options.Who won that one?He thought.

At the end of the race,the pit crew was tending to his injured back leg and paw,when a female human reporter came up to him with her camera crew,as well as other paparazzi."McQueen,that was quite a risky move,not taking any bandages"She pointed out,and he heard the same out crew member from before grumble"Tell me about it"Would you shut up? Lightning thought,aiming it towards the pit crew member." Are you sorry you didn't have a crew chief out there? "She asked him,and Lightning shook his head no."There's a lot more to racing then just winning,I mean taking the race by a full lap?I mean where's the entertainment in that?You know,I wanted to give the folks a little sizzle""Sizzle?"The same pit crew member barked."Am I sorry I don't have a

crew chief?No,I'm not,because I'm a one wolf show"" Yeah right! "The same wolf said noticed the same wolf blocking the camera as he was busy wrapping a bandage around his twisted paw."Hey Chuck!Chuck,your blocking the shot,everyone wants to see the bolt""What?!""Now back away"Lightning instructed,the same wolf finally snapped."Agh!That's it!We quit mister one man wolf!"He said that last part sarcastically as he walked away,the other wolves of the pit crew following." Alright!How will I ever find another wolf that knows how to patch me up with bandages? "Lightning said sarcastically,the paparazzi chuckling."Adios Chuck!" He said,not expecting him to here. "And my name is not Chuck!" Chuck barked. "Oh whatever"Lightning scoffed,the paparazzi saw Chick walking up to him." Yo light,that was some pretty darn nice racing out there,be me! "He suddenly barked,his out crew chuckling."Welcome to the Chick Era baby,the Piston Cup,it's mine dude"His pit crew nodding in agreement. "Hey fellas,how do you think about me in,Dinoco blue!" Lightning knew what he was talking about,The King was retiring this year,and Dinoco,his sponser,was picking this year's winner to replace him. "In your dreams,Thunder" Chick looked puzzled. "You know because thunder always comes after,Lightning!" He explained,then did another Kachow for the camera.

While he was waiting for the announcers to say who one,two fans rushed past the security and reporters. "I'm Mia!"One barked."I'm Tia!" They looked like littermates. "We're like,your biggest fans!Kachow!"They both said at the same huffed in amusement,security pulled the fans away,he heard them say." We love you Lightning! "Lightning wagged his tail,suddenly The King walked up to him."Oh hey King!" Lightning greeted him. "Son,that was one back of a race out there"The King complimented him."Aww man-"" But your stupid"Lightning looked at him,confused. "Excuse me?"" This ain't a one wolf thing kid,you got to wise up and get yourself a good crew chief and a good team -"Lightning wasn't focused on him anymore,he was focused on the Dinoco tent,wondering what it would be like if he got the sponsorship,and but the buy the time he was done daydreaming,The King was done speaking,and Lightning didn't catch a word of the advice The King gave him,so he pretended he knew. "Thank you King,that was excellent advice,thank you"Suddenly,the announcer started speaking."Ladys and gentleman,for the first time in Piston Cup History... ""A rookie has one the Piston Cup"Lightning guest confidently,and want on to the stage!" Yes! "He barked,only to realize it was not only him who won."We have a three way tie"The confeti started flying,and Chick and The King joined him on stage,Lightning looks flustered and embarrassed." Hey rook,that's gotta be pretty emberrasing,

But I don't tell bad,because I didn't do it! "Chick laughed."There will be a tie breaker race hold in California,in one week""Thank you all out there thank you,hey rook,first one to California gets Dinoco all to himself"Chick challenged him,but then started talking to himself.

Later,Lightning walked back to his trailer mumbling to himself."'First one to California gets Dinoco all to himself!'We'll see who gets there first Chick-"He realized where his trailer would normally be parked was gone,and he noticed his trailer driver,Mac,kwho was a human,was walking up to him."Hey Kid!Congrats on the tie"He congratulated him."I don't want to talk about it Mack,Where'd you put my trailer?" Lightning asked. "I parked it over in you sponsor's tent"Mack explained."What?!"Lightning barked." You gotta make your personal appearance"Mack told him. "No,no no no no!"

Lightning lurked outside,Mack standing beside him,then he learned in,the groaned. "Ugh,I hate rusty old wolves!This is not good for my image"Lightning complained."They did give you your big break,besides,it's in your contract"Mack pointed groaned again."Just get the truck and get hooked up"

Once Mack was gone,he spotted a cardboard cut out of himself.Maybe if I can hide behind this,and slowly make my way across,I won't be spotted He gave it a go,and half way across the tent,the cardboard cut out fell,and all the wolves turned to look at him.Oh no "Hey look !There he is!" One of the sponsers barked. "Our almost champ!" One of the wolves the other wolves started complementing him. "Give me a little room guys"Lightning told them,and one wolf walked up too him,with the nametag on him Fred."Your my hero " He said,his tail wagging. "Yes,yes,Fred,thank you"

Lightning told Fred,who looked stunned. "He knows my name!He knows my name!" Yes,we all do,it's on your nametag The two sponsers,who were humans,congratulated and thanked him,saying they might have enough to by him a headlight. "You know,race wolves don't need headlights because the track is always lit"He explained,but the wolves found that funny.Besides,we have night vision,we're fine They made another joke,and Lightning fake chuckled,trying not to be rude."Ladys and gentlewolves,Lightning McQueen!"They announced,and the light turned off,a spotlight shining in his face."You know the Rusteeze racing team ran a great race today,and rember,with a little bit of Rusteeze,and a insane a lot of luck,you to can look like me,Kachow "He said then he backed into his trailer." Kid,we look
