- Hey everyone, I'm Langton.
- And I'm Todd.
- And today we are here at the Los Angeles
Memorial Coliseum for the NASCAR clash
at the Coliseum event.
- [Todd] This marks the first time,
the preseason clash has been held
outside of the Daytona International Speedway.
- [Langton] And on top of that,
this is the first competitive look
at NASCAR's next gen cars.
- Next gen? Is Jackson Storm racing?
- I wouldn't be surprised.
Pixar cars in the LA Coliseum, go way back.
It was actually used as inspiration
for the Los Angeles International Speedway
in the first cars movie.
- And that's why today is such a special event.
So special that Lightning McQueen
even decided to stop by.
(Upbeat music)
- Which is why Todd and I decided to stop by
as well and have our own special event
for some of the best NASCAR drivers around.
- Behold, the Radiator Springs
All Star challenge.
Let's go over the course.
First up is the Tractor Field.
- [Langton] When the timer begins,
each driver must drive the lightning McQueen RC
as quickly as they can
to get through each tractor.
And, for each driver that happens
to get knocked over, one additional second
is added to their final time.
- [Todd] Next up is the Willy's Butte Loop.
- [Langton] The driver will have to drive
Lightning around the loop six times.
However, during this time three course will
lead to trivia questions from me, will be asked.
For each incorrect answer, one additional
second is added to their final time.
- [Todd] After that comes the reverse Cozy Cones.
- [Langton] This is the hardest
part of the course.
Each driver must reverse drive Lighting
through a row of cozy cones.
For each cone hit, one additional
second is added to their final time.
- [Todd] Lastly, comes Victory Lane.
- This last stretch is pretty straight forward.
Literally, pedal to the metal to the finish line,
waving to all your fans along the way.
- The fans love a good finish.
- When Lightning crosses the finish line,
that's it.
We hit stop on the timer,
and add up any penalties for the final time.
- That's it for the rules.
Bring on the challengers.
- What's up guys.
- Hey.
- Hey guys.
- Hey Austin.
- What you guys got going on over here?
- So, you guys ready to try the Radiator Springs
All Star obstacle course challenge?
- I'm ready.
- How do we choose who goes first?
- Well, you guys are gonna do
a rock, paper, scissors.
Whoever loses goes first.
- [Both] Whoever loses, goes first?
- All right, here we go.
- Okay.
- [Both] Rock, paper, scissor shoot.
- Ah.
- Looks like Austin, goes up first.
- All right.
- Are you ready?
- I think so.
- 3, 2, 1, go.
Alrighty. He's making it through them with ease.
- [Todd] Oh my gosh.
- [Langton] All right.
Who is Lightning McQueen's favorite catch phrase?
What is his favorite catch phrase?
- Chaw-Cow?
- Nope. Ca-Chow.
Who is lightning McQueen's biggest sponsor?
- Um.....Rust-eze.
- [Langton] Correct.
- [Austin] How many laps have I ran here?
- [Langton] So far four. - [Todd] I believe four.
- What brand of tires does Lighting McQueen use?
- [Todd] Five laps, so far.
- Light years? Ah, yeah Light years.
- Yeah. Light years, correct.
- [Todd] So far, your time is 40 seconds.
- [Langton] You're almost there. Just one more.
- [Todd] Ooh, you're so close.
- [Langton] All right. - [Todd] And,
you did not bump any cones.
- [Aric] You're good.
- [Langton] All right,
he's coming towards the finish line.
- And, whoa, big crash. - [Todd] Oh my gosh.
- [Todd] One minute.
- [Austin] One minute?
- Yeah. One minute exactly. - Perfect.
- [Langton] What happened?
- What a crash.
- We wrecked across the star finish line.
- Oh my goodness. - No penalty for that.
- Aric's turn now. So what? I had a minute.
- Yeah, one minute.
- All right.
- And no penalties.
- But how many questions did he get wrong?
- Um one.
- I said Cha-Cow to start.
- Oh yeah. It's Ca-Chow, not Chaw-Cow.
- Oh Okay. That is true. I'll give you that.
- Okay. Now it's Aric's turn.
All right, Aric, you ready?
- I'm ready.
- All right, let's see what you got.
- Hopefully he's not ready.
- [Austin] Okay.
- Wow. All right.
- 3, 2, 1 go.
- [Todd] Start now.
- [Aric] Oh man.
- [Langton] You've made it through
each tractor with ease.
- [Todd] Nice.
- [Langton] Alright.
Oh, now it's time for question, number four.
- Now is that Kano Martin?
- Who is Lighting McQueen's fabulous blue mentor?
- Doc Hudson.
- Correct.
- Who is Lightning McQueen's best friend?
- Ah, Tow Mater.
- Correct.
What is the name of the town where lightning
and his friend live? - [Todd] One more lap. Six.
- Ah...Radiator Springs.
- Correct.
- And there's last part...
- I thought Mater was the backwards driver?
- [Austin] Yeah, Lighting doesn't
have rear view mirrors.
- [Aric] Yeah.
- But Mater taught Lighting
how to drive backwards.
- [Langton] Only 34 seconds.
- [Todd] Austin, I think
he's gonna beat your time.
- [Austin] I think he killed my time.
- [All] Oh...
- [Austin] Yeah. Don't touch...don't touch it.
- [Langton] Oh no. It's stuck.
(Laughter)
- [Austin] No way. That's a 30 second penalty.
- [Todd] Whoa, 46.
- 46?
- C'mon.
- 46 seconds.
- There's got to be a ruling on this.
Where's NASCAR?
- 46 seconds. He beat you actually.
- So the two times were,
Austin got a minute and one second,
and Aric got 46 seconds with no penalties.
- No penalties. Wow
- I got all the questions right?
- [Both Todd and Langton] Yep.
- [Austin] It's usually on.
- So it looks like we have a winner. You Aric.
- Here we go!
(Noise sounds)
- [Austin] Here we go.
- [Both] On to the next challenger.
- Hey guys, how's it going?
- Hey William. How's it going?
- Nice to meet you. I'm William.
Nice to meet you.
I like this course you got set up here.
- Oh, thanks.
- It's pretty cool.
- All right, William.
So Aric's time is 46 seconds,
and Austin's time is one minute and one second.
You think you can beat that?
- I hope so.
- The hardest part is definitely the cones.
- Yeah, definitely the cones like that.
- You ready?
- Let me know when.
- Alright? 3, 2, 1, go.
- [Todd] Alright, making it through them.
- Oh my gosh, he just zoomed pass them. Alright.
What trophy does Lightning want to win in cars?
