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.

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

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.

2006 Season (Cars: The Video Game)

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 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. Lightning won at least 4 races and his first Piston Cup. Then he went on a road trip with Sally, Mater, and Doc.

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.
