McQueen screams and begs for Mater to speed up after being threatened with Mater knowing stating that they need more speed for the Loop of Death with McQueen questioning it as well.

McQueen, revealls himself on the other side of the room, telling everyone not to believe everything Mater tells them, and says that he didn't even win that race. In order to save himself, Mater claims that this isn't the real Lightning McQueen-it's an animatronic, which he claims to be an ugly representation of Lightning.
 
McQueen, however, tells everyone to not believe everything Mater tells them and says that he didn't win the race. Mater drives up to McQueen saying that he hopes that they didn't pay to much for an animatronic version of him and says that it's ugly. However, McQueen questions Mater's story with "Ninjas, Mater? Really?" as he takes pictures with a fan. It ends with Mater saying that if you take away it's ugliness it's a pretty good sound-alike.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*This deleted scene was based off the ''[[Cars Toons|Mater's Tall Tales]]'' series.
*While this scene was cut, the concept of Mater telling a sstory to visitors in Radiator Springs still made it into the final film, at the end instead of the beginning.
**This also makes the connection between Mater's Tall Tales and Cars 2 stronger.
*Darrell's name is misspelt as "Daryl" in the scene's storyboards.  
*[[Bob Cutlass]] appears in this scene.
**However, Bob does not appear in the final product for ''Cars 2''.
*Darrell's name is spelt at "Daryl" as a more simple version of his name.
*When [[Darrell Cartrip|Darrell]] is heard talking again the subtitles say "Cutlass" instead of Darrell or Cartrip making an error.
*Darrell states that McQueen wants to win his 3rd Piston Cup meaning McQueen only had two Piston Cups at the time during the production of the film.
*The race would've parodied the [[Dinoco 400]] from ''[[Cars]]'' as one of the shots is similar to it. Mater is also shown to be flying through the air sticking his tongue out just like McQueen did in the first movie.
*The tall tale seems to have taken inspiration from ''[[Mater the Greater]]'' and ''[[Tokyo Mater]]'' as stunts and ninjas are featured in it.
*The fighting moves Mater performs in the deleted scene are seemingly reused during the London fight as he does similar motions during it.
*This is the only deleted scene to not have a follow up on why it was cut.
*This is the only deleted scene to not have a follow up on why it was cut.
**The scene was most likely cut due to the team having a hard time continuing the story after the sequence ended.
