Cut-Scene

"(The screen is dark, while Lightning McQueen's voice is heard.)
Lightning McQueen: "I... am speed."
(Then it showed 4 cars racing. The screen goes back to black.)
Lightning McQueen: "1 winner, 4 losers."
(Then it showed those 4 cars again before going back to black.)
Lightning McQueen: "Okay. Let's do this."
(Then it showed Radiator Springs getting ready for the Radiator Springs Grand Prix. It shows Mater, who was the announcer, making sounds.)
Mater: "Ladies and gentlecars. . .welcome to the Radiator Springs Grand Prix! And boy, it's gonna be a humdinger of a race, too! Wooo-oo! Check out them fancy racin' outfits! Yep, we got some familiar faces! And some new guys, too!"
(Doc Hudson, Sally, and Fletcher were lining up.)
Fletcher: "I say, lovely day to rip it up on a small town track, eh?"
Mater: "And of course, we got my best friend here too... Radiator Springs' own most famous race car, Mr. Lightning McQueen! So let's get this show on the road!"
(Lightning came to the starting line and lined up.)"

End-Scene

Part 1

"(The screen is dark until Sally Carrera's voice is heard, which the screen then shows her outside McQueen's cozy cone.)
Sally Carrera: "Lightning? Are you in there? Lightning?!"
(Lightning opened his door, but was still sleeping.)
Lightning McQueen: (in his sleep) "Wha... Downshift... Checkered flag..."
Sally Carrera: "Lightning! Wake up!"
Lightning McQueen: (wakes up and startles) "Wh- what? Did I win?"
Sally Carrera: "I think you were dreaming."
Lightning McQueen: (driving out) "Oh... yeah. I was dreaming about a race."
Sally Carrera: "You know, I kinda figured that."
Lightning McQueen: "No, it wasn't any ordinary race. It was the Radiator Springs Grand Prix, and you were in it, and Doc, and Mater was the announcer -"
Sally Carrera: "You know what that sounds like to me?"
Lightning McQueen: "What?"
Sally Carrera: "Sounds like you're ready for some competition."
Lightning McQueen: "Oh, you got that right."
Sally Carrera: "Well, today's a great day for it. Doc's looking for you, he wants you to meet him out at Willy's Butte later. And I saw some new cars hanging out at Flo's - maybe fans of yours looking for a race?"
Lightning McQueen: "Wow, sounds like I'd better get busy!""

Part 2

"(Lightning went over to Mack.)
Mack: "Hey kid! You ready to go after that Piston Cup?"
Lightning McQueen: "Yeah... showtime."
Mack: "Well, you said it... just as soon as you get some practice." (Lightning was puzzled.) "Well, you've been taking it kind of easy around town for awhile now...so we got to get you back into shape before the new season starts. Besides, they just don't let anybody with 4 wheels race for the Piston Cup you know, first you've got to place in enough races, games and competitions to qualify, then you can go back to the big leagues, alright? So what do you say, you ready to get moving?"
Lightning McQueen: "Ka-chow!"
Mack: "I'll take that as an okey-dokey.""

Trivia

• Mater will always appear as the fastest opponent in this race in Arcade mode, unless the player is racing as him, in which he will appear as the racer the player is driving as.
• Although Fletcher will appear as an opponent in the Story mode, he will not in Arcade mode.
• The "Ka-chow!" in the second end scene is one of Lightning's in-game voice clips, heard when changing the dialogue volume off the pause menu, and occasionally heard when he passes another racer. A version where he also says "Hey, look at this" before saying "Ka-chow!" can also sometimes be heard when he is boosting or in air, and when changing the dialogue volume on the main menu.
• When Lightning pictures his four opponents in the beginning of the cut scene, Sally is shown ahead of Doc, while in the race, Doc is usually faster than Sally.
