History
Cars
Every Piston Cup race car covets the Dinoco sponsorship. In Cars, The King is on the verge of retiring, causing Lightning McQueen and Chick Hicks to both battle for the Dinoco sponsorship.

Lightning gave up his bid for the sponsorship to help The King cross the finish line with dignity, making Chick the ultimate winner. Although he won, Chick was labeled a cheater by the enraged crowds who saw his stunt. And apparently, Tex refused to sponsor him. Tex offered to sponsor Lightning instead for his sportsmanship, but he quietly turned it down, deciding to stay with Rust-eze. He does however ask Tex for a helicopter ride for his friend Mater.
Bonus: There was a racer from the Cars 2005 Teaser Trailer that did sponsor Dinoco in the very early version of the trailer before the racer got scrapped.
Cars 2
As the Dinoco oil company is an important brand in the first Cars film, it is also present in Cars 2. It is the drink Lightning and Mater have in the plane taking them to Tokyo.
