- Another great finish of the making.
McQueen and Swift nose-to-nose.
- How's the view back there, Bobby?
- Haha.
Well you better not blink. I'll blow right past you.
- The flag is out. It's the final stretch.
McQueen in in the lead.
(cars racing past)
- Okay. Let's see what you got.
(Bobby yells in excitement)
(Jackson Storm accelerating)
- Holly cow! - Oh!
It's Jackson Storm for the win!
A huge upset.
- Even Lightning nor Bobby never saw him coming.
- It's one thing to start fast,
but we haven't seen anyone cross the line
with that kind of speed and power.
It's a young Lightning McQueen.
(confetti pops) First arrived on the scene.
- Hey Bobby.
Who is that?
- That's,
Jackson Storm.
- Yeah, he's one of the rookies.
- Huh.
(newscasters yelling)
- Thank you guys, thank you.
Naw, I appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
- Hey, Jackson Storm, right?
Great race today.
- Wow! Thank you, Mr. McQueen.
You have no idea what a pleasure it is
for me to finally beat you.
- Thanks.
But.
(McQueen laughs)
Hang on. Did you say meet or beat?
- I think you heard me.
- Uh, what?
- McQueen! - Storm! Over here!
- Can we get some pictures?
- Yeah, yeah.
Come on. Let's get a picture.
You know what? Get a ton of picture because champ here
has been a role model of mine for years now.
And I mean a lot of years, right?
I love this guy.
(newscasters calling out questions)
(cameras flashing)
(techno music)
I think I touched a nerve.
(techno music)
(suspenseful music)
- I'll tell you what Darrell,
Jackson Storm has certainly made an impact.
We've got six more next generation rookies in the field.
- With six veterans fired to clear the way.
- Morning champ.
How's our living legend today.
- Um, still very much alive. Thank you.
- Now I would appreciate, - You know,
I can't believe I get to race THE Lightening McQueen.
In his farewell season.
- What are you talking about?
- Well, green flag.
Good luck out there champ.
(cars accelerating)
You're going to need it!
(McQueen accelerates)
(Storm accelerates)
- One reason Storm and the next gens are more efficient,
their ability to hold the optimum racing line,
every single lap.
- Win number three for the rookie sensation.
- Storm is in a class on his own.
And a big reason for that,
training on the newest cutting edge simulators.
These machines create a virtual racing experience so real
racers never even have to go outside.
- Storm's ability to hold that line
is like nothing we've ever seen.
- Four in a row? Are you kidding me?
- Two percent lower drag coefficients.
- Oh what a finish!
- Five percent increase down force.
- Lucky number seven.
- One point two percent idle top speed.
- Amazing.
(confetti pops)
- Piston cup winner, Chick Hicks here
with the racer taking the circuit by storm, Jackson Storm.
Another easy win over old, Kachow.
Or should I say, caboose?
'cause he's always in the back, am I right?
- No, no, no, Chick, McQueen is a crafty veteran champ.
He's the elder statesman of the sport, you know?
Takes everything I got to beat him.
(heavy orchestral music)
- Hey champ.
Where'd all your friends go?
- The final check of his tires
as Storm settles into the pole position.
(energetic strings)
(McQueen huffing)
- Hey McQueen, you all right?
Listen, don't you worry pal.
You had a good run.
Enjoy your retirement!
- Storm takes back the lead.
- Unbelievable! McQueen is fading!
McQueen is fading!
Fading fast.
- No.
(McQueen accelerates)
- Piston cup champion Jackson Storm set a new record today
when he pulled off the fastest lap ever recorded.
An unprecedented 213 miles an hour.
- Wow! So what do you think Certain?
Stormy Boy gonna start the season with another win?
- Highly likely Chick.
Based on his recent run times
and forecasted track temperatures on race day,
Storm's chances of winning are 95.2%.
(car racing)
- Wait, wait. Who was that?
- I put McQueen in there.
Give you some real competition.
(laughing mockingly)
- Listen, you're going to do great today.
And no matter what happens,
I'm going to move on to the next rookie
and forget I ever knew you.
(playful laughter)
- I'm glad you're here.
(Storm revs engine)
- Wow,
nice costume.
Come here let's get a picture.
It's so great to meet my number one fan.
(Sally scoffs)
- What a jerk.
- She's not a fan Storm.
- Oh, hey there champ.
I heard you're selling mudflaps after today.
Is that true?
Hey, you put me down for the first case, okay?
(instrumental music)
- Ramirez is in third.
(Storm slowing down)
- What are you doing storm?
- Hey!
Costume girl.
You know, at first I thought you were down here
because your GPS was broken.
- Don't listen to him Cruz.
- You look good.
It's important to look the part.
You can't have everyone thinking
that you don't deserve to be here.
- He's trying to get in your head.
- They don't need to know what you and I already do.
That you can play dress up all you want,
but you'll never be one of us.
