A massive fan of [[Lightning McQueen]], Timothy Twostroke drove all the way from New Jersey to California in order to watch him compete in a tiebreaker race against [[Chick Hicks]] and [[Strip Weathers]] at the [[Los Angeles International Speedway]]. Twostroke made the journey in only four days, apparently driving at a very high speed. Adorning a Lightning McQueen hat and antenna topper, Timothy Twostroke can be seen proudly supporting Lightning McQueen during the race. | |||

The 2009 Cars Diecast Collector Checklist book features an image of a diecast labeled as "Timothy Twostroke." This character, however, is not Timothy and is instead a different (currently unnamed) fan who wears similar memorabilia and appears when [[Bob Cutlass]] and [[Darrell Cartrip]] are introducing the race. The diecast would eventually be cancelled, and when Timothy Twostroke was released later on in the Piston Cup Speedway 9-pack, he would have the correct appearance. | |||
