[[File:Piston_Cup_logo.png|thumb|200px]]The '''Piston Cup Racing Series''' is a racing series championship that has been making championships from decades through various generations of racers and champions. [[Lightning McQueen]] and [[Chick Hicks]] are the main racers in the Piston Cup. [[Doc Hudson]] and [[The King]] also used to race there, but they retired.
[[File:Piston_Cup_logo.png|thumb|200px]]The '''Piston Cup Racing Series''' is a racing series championship that has hosted championships for decades, across several generations of racers and champions. The Piston Cup series is known to date back to at least 1951, where the Fabulous Hudson Hornet and others competed in dirt tracks. In modern times, however, racers compete in large stadiums, with carefully maintained race tracks and immense space for spectators.
==Races==
The Piston Cup racers are big events sponsored by lots of [[:Category:Sponsors|trademarks]] and covered by [[RSN]] ('''R'''acing '''S'''ports '''N'''etwork), among other media. The races take place at huge racing stadiums which most have the traditional oval form.

==Season history==
===1951, 1952, and 1953 seasons===
[[File:1952and1953cups.jpg|thumb|200px|Hudson's 1952 and 1953 Piston Cups.]]
The 1951, 1952, and 1953 Piston Cup seasons were won by the [[Doc Hudson|Fabulous Hudson Hornet]], during his prime. Hudson acquired three Piston Cup trophies, despite his philosophy that they are "just empty cups."


A Piston Cup championship consists of various races where the racers are dotted with an specific number of points according to their positions on each race during the championship. The races can vary from 7 to 400 laps depending the race. Each competitor has a team of pitties, a crew chief and a hauler, which are sponsored. The car with most racing points wins the championship and the famous Piston Cup.
Hudson achieved thirteen victories in 1951, twenty-seven victories in 1952, and twenty-two victories in 1953.<ref>These statistics can be found in descriptions of Hudson's racing history at [[Cars Land]] in California.</ref>
===1954 season===
[[File:1954_newspaper.jpg|thumb|left|122px|A 1954 newspaper detailing Doc's accident.]]
Hudson's prime ended when he received serious damage from an accident caused by rival racer [[Sammy|Sammy "The Studebaker"]]. His injuries rendered him unable to compete for the rest of the season. While Doc made a healthy recovery, when he returned wishing to race again, he was shunned in favor of newer and younger race cars, leading him to settle as a doctor in the small town of [[Radiator Springs]], and choosing to hide his past.


[[File:Cup.jpg|thumb|334px|The Piston Cup trophy.]]
Prior to his accident, the Fabulous Hudson Hornet acquired sixteen victories.
===2005 season===
[[File:Dinoco_400.jpg|thumb|200px|Dinoco 400]]
The 2005 season saw seven-time Piston Cup champion [[Strip Weathers]], constant runner-up [[Chick Hicks]], and popular new rookie [[Lightning McQueen]] as the leading competitors. The final race of the season, called the [[Dinoco]] 400, was held at the [[Motor Speedway of the South]]. The three leading racers all had a score of 5,013 points, meaning whichever of the three placed first would take home the Piston Cup and the coveted Dinoco sponsorship.


==Piston Cup Speedways==
Towards the start of the race, a large accident was caused by Chick Hicks with the intention of separating himself from the gaining McQueen. The accident involved every racer except for Weathers, Hicks, and McQueen, as the ladder skilfully managed to make his way through the crash without taking any damage. The other racers received damage however, such as [[Chuck Armstrong]], who was taken out of the race by [[Tow|a tow truck]].

Subsequently, Lightning McQueen arrogantly refused pit stops, which allowed him to gain an entire lap advantage on the other racers, which continued into the final lap of the race. However, as McQueen rounded the final turn, his tires blew out, leaving him crawling to the finish line. The other racers caught up to him, and McQueen, Hicks, and Weathers all crossed the finish line at the same time, making it the first three-way tie in Piston Cup season. A tie-breaker race between the three was set to be held at the [[Los Angeles International Speedway]].

However, during Lightning's journey there, he fell out of his trailer and ended up in the small town of [[Radiator Springs]], where he accidentally ripped up the road and was sentenced to community service. Once Lightning served his time, he was taken to the race, where he found it difficult to concentrate due to missing the friends he made while there. However, Lightning was joyful when he discovered that Hudson and the other townspeople had come to serve as his pit crew.

All the cars that were contracted to work to the Piston Cup's events.
Lightning, who had learned new abilities from his friends, utilized them during the race, which allowed him to hold up well against his two competitors, eventually taking the lead. Hicks, frustrated with constantly placing behind Weathers, performed a PIT maneuver on him, causing the seven-time champion to spin out of control and take heavy damage. McQueen, noticing similarities between Weathers' and Hudson's accidents, stopped just before the finish line and reversed up to Weathers, and helped him to the finish line, believing the old-timer should finish his last race. Despite being the victor, Hicks was booed for his actions, while McQueen was congratulated for his good sportsmanship.

Weathers' retirement saw the rivalry between Lightning McQueen and Chick Hicks grow larger than ever before, with the media putting an emphasis on it. The 2006 season consisted of five races, taking place at five different stadiums; [[Palm Mile Speedway]], [[Motor Speedway of the South]], [[Sun Valley International Raceway]], [[Smasherville Speedway]], and [[Los Angeles International Speedway]]. After losing to McQueen in the first three races, Chick hired the [[Delinquent Road Hazards]] to steal Lightning's racing gear from [[Mack]]'s trailer while he was traveling the Interstate. However, McQueen and [[Sheriff]] caught them, and they revealed their alliance with Hicks. At Smasherville Speedway, McQueen confronted Hicks, and the two agreed to have a four-race event, with races in [[Radiator Springs]], [[Tailfin Pass]], and [[Ornament Valley]], followed by the final race at the Los Angeles International Speedway.

Some racing scenes are seen in [[Cars 2005 Teaser Trailer]], where there is a race seen in [[Charlotte Springs Speedway]].
 
 
 
 
===<u>'''2005''' Season ([[Cars]])</u>===
{{Quote|'''Bob Cutlass:''' "Welcome back to the Dinoco 400. I'm Bob Cutlass, here with my good friend, Darrell Cartrip. We're midway through what may turn out to be a  historic day for racing."<br>'''Darrell Cartrip:''' "Bob, my oil pressure's through the roof right now. If this gets more exciting, they're gonna have to tow me outta the booth!"<br>'''Bob Cutlass:''' "Right you are, Darrell. Three cars are tied for the season points lead, heading into the final race of the season. And the winner of this race Darrell, will win the season title and, the Piston Cup. Does The King, Strip Weathers, have one more victory in him before retirement?"<br>'''Darrell Cartrip:''' "He's been Dinoco's golden boy for years! Can he win them one last Piston Cup?"<br>'''Bob Cutlass:''' "And, as always, in the second place spot we find Chick Hicks. He's been chasing that tailfin his entire career."<br>'''Darrell Cartrip:''' "Chick thought this was his year, Bob. His chance to finally emerge from The King's shadow. But the last thing he expected was...Lightning McQueen!"<br>'''Bob Cutlass:''' "You know, I don't think anybody expected this. The rookie sensation came into the season unknown. But everyone knows him now."<br>'''Darrell Cartrip:''' "Will he be the first rookie to win a Piston Cup and land Dinoco?"<br>'''Bob Cutlass:''' "The legend, the runner up, and the rookie! Three cars, one champion!"|[[Bob Cutlass]] and [[Darrell Cartrip]]}}
[[File:Dinoco_400.jpg|thumb|194px]]The 2005 Piston Cup racing season was appreciated by [[Dinoco]] to see who would be the next Dinoco racer. It took place in various speedways, in summer. The 3 leaders of the season were [[The King]], [[Chick Hicks]] and the rookie [[Lightning McQueen]], and the three got to the final race with the same amount of points: 5013. The final race of the Dinoco 400 at the [[Motor Speedway of the South]] was an incredible race. After various battles, Chick Hicks caused an incredible wreck. All the cars were hitting another car. Fortunately, [[Claude Scruggs]] and [[Chuck Armstrong]]'s crashes had no consequences. In fact, the Leak Less driver jumped on [[Todd Marcus]]' head, while Chuck was doing a big flip. Lightning got a huge lead in the race after skipping a pit stop. On the final lap, he blows his rear tires, so he hops towards the finish line. [[The King]], [[Chick Hicks]], and Lightning all tied. This incredible race termed with a three tie of the three leaders, and the judges decided to take a rematch at [[Los Angeles International Speedway]] the next week between the three leaders, and the winner would win the Piston Cup.
 
When Lightning was in [[Radiator Springs]], he discovered that [[Doc Hudson]] was the Fabulous Hudson Hornet, winning 3 Piston Cups, from 1951, 1952, and 1953. Then, in 1954, he got into a crash, and his sponsors quit on him and went on to the next Rookie standing in line, so he finished his racing career and moved to [[Radiator Springs]].
 
[[Mack]] and the reporters found Lightning, and they took him to the tie-breaker race.
 
[[File:Lgfp1578.jpg|thumb|168px|Dinoco 400 publicity.]]The Sunday on the 27th of May, the final race of 200 laps was taken with almost 200,000 fans at the speedway and the country was showdown for what many experts have called the race of the century. However, McQueen couldn't concentrate on the race, because he missed his friends in [[Radiator Springs]]. Then he realized that everyone in [[Radiator Springs]] is now his pit crew. Using backwards driving taught by [[Mater]], a fast pit stop from [[Guido]], and turning right to go left taught by Doc, Lightning took the lead. The 86# racer Chick Hicks officially won the race, but all the views were on the 95# racer Lightning McQueen that showed an incredible display of sportsmanship by driving Strip [[File:2005_piston_cup.jpg|thumb|200px|2005 Piston Cup]]Weathers to the final lap as he got seriously damaged by Hicks, completing like that his last race, as he thinks of the crash being similar to Doc's, which he gave up his chances of becoming the first rookie to win a Piston Cup. At the end, the [[Dinoco]] sponsor was offered to McQueen, but he decides to stay with [[Rust-eze]]. Hicks' fans were outraged at what he did to [[The King]] on the track and booed him for being a cheater. They pelted Chick with debris, forcing him off the stage in humiliation. Lightning was hailed for his good sportsmanship on the track. A total of 36 cars competed in the series and 3 tracks are known.
 
===<u>'''2006''' Season ([[Cars: The Video Game]])</u>===
 
Lightning's next Piston Cup Season in 2006 was about to start. To get ready, he learned how to turn on dirt from Doc. He also joins [[Sarge's SUV Boot Camp]] for a while. And [[Mater]] taught him how to drive backwards. Lightning was ready for the Piston Cup. The 2006 Piston Cup Season got place in 5 different speedways: [[Palm Mile Speedway]], [[Motor Speedway of the South]], [[Sun Valley International Raceway]], [[Smasherville Speedway]] and [[Los Angeles International Speedway]]. The racecar [[Lightning McQueen]] with his new team got in the first three positions in the all the four races, making him the season champion and [[Chick Hicks]] in second place. But [[Chick Hicks|Chick]] didn't accepted McQueen's glory so he claimed a rematch. After the race at [[Smasherville International Speedway]], Lightning challenges Chick to the Radiator Springs Grand Prix, which was 3 races in different parts of [[Radiator Springs]] (The Radiator Springs Grand Prix, the Tailfin Pass Grand Prix and the Ornament Valley Grand Prix), with one last Piston Cup race at the [[Los Angeles International Speedway]]. The last race was won again in good law by [[Lightning McQueen]] and he became the 2006 Piston Cup champion winning his first Piston Cup, which he dedicated to [[Doc Hudson|Doc]]. Lightning won at least 4 races and his first Piston Cup. Then he went on a road trip with [[Sally]], Mater, and Doc.
 
 
[[File:Champion.jpg|thumb|left|294px|McQueen Champion.]][[File:2006_Piston_Cup.jpg|thumb|300px|2006 Piston Cup champion Lightning McQueen.]]


A Piston Cup championship consists of various races where the competitors earn points in relation to their placement in the final rankings of the event. At the end of the season, the car with the most points wins the championship, and receives a Piston Cup trophy, as well as sponsorship from Dinoco, a fuel brand closely associated with the Piston Cup series.


Races can vary from 7 to 400 laps. Each competitor has a team of pitties, a crew chief and a hauler, which are sponsored, and may help the racer by giving advice via headsets, and by providing fuel and tire changes during pit stops.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The Piston Cup is based on the real world Winston Cup, awarded to NASCAR champions from 1971 to 2003. In 2004, however, NASCAR severed relations with Winston and the award became the Nextel Cup, quickly changing to the Sprint Cup after Sprint bought out Nextel. Incidentally, the Hudson Hornet competed in the Grand National era of 1950 to 1970.

*In real life, contemporary NASCAR vehicles would not be able to compete against vehicles of the Grand National era. This is because modern NASCAR vehicles are spec, racing-built sedans with sophisticated racing technology whereas Grand National era cars are modified production cars. Today's NASCAR sedans would greatly outperform the stock cars of the Grand National era. Also, NASCAR safety technology has dramatically evolved since the Grand National era and thus drivers of such vehicles would be at a greater safety risk than those driving today's NASCAR sedans.
