Lightning McQueen: Okay, here we go. Focus. Speed. I am speed. [The screen then shows some race cars whizzing past on a racetrack, then goes back to dark again.] Lightning McQueen: One winner. 42 losers. I eat losers for breakfast. [The screen then shows Lightning from the back of his left side as his car accelerates and gains on a race car. Then the screen goes dark again.] Lightning McQueen: Breakfast? Wait, maybe I should have had breakfast? A little breakie could be good for me. No, no, no, stay focused. Speed! [The screen then shows race cars whizzing along the racetrack as the camera moves to the right. The screen then goes dark again] Lightning McQueen: I'm faster than fast, quicker than quick! I am Lightning! Mack: [pounds on his trailer door] Hey Lightning, you ready? Lightning McQueen: [‘Real Gone” by Sheryl Crow plays in the background as the trailer door opens] Oh, yeah. Lightning's ready. [McQueen revs his engine, and his different body parts are shown as he drives slowly out of the trailer with his face visible. He then revs his engine again as the crowd cheer. The camera then shows the audience on the stadium seats, then an aerial view of the Motor Speedway of the South circuit, then a cameraman aiming a camera at the circuit. The camera then shows McQueen on the television screen on the scoring pylon. Then the camera shows the circuit from as high as the audience seats, and zooms in on McQueen ] Lightning McQueen: Ka-chow! [The camera then shows the race, as it shows the cars zooming and whooshing along. McQueen then overtakes six cars. He then gets blocked by two cars named Floyd Mulvihill and Rusty Cornfuel, and rides his right wheels on the wall to overtake the two cars, familiar to The Fast and the Furious. The camera then shows McQueen on the television screen on top of the scoring pylon as he winks, Mia and Tia screams, the camera then shows the audience cheering, then it skips to a truck named Brian selling some souvenirs] Brian: Get your antenna balls here! [The camera then shows the racers whooshing along, then it shows some RVs, the camera zooms in on two RVs named Larry and R.M., who are cheering] Larry: You got that right, Slick. [Then the camera shows some of the racers in the pits as the air wrenches are heard whirring. It goes to different racers as they have their pit stops, and ends with one of the racers exiting back onto the track. The camera shows some people going into the toilets, as there is a long queue for the women. Then it shows in the crowd an RV named Elvis, who is dancing to Real Gone, the camera then shows Chick Hicks as he purposely hits a racer named Lee Revkins off the track, Revkins grunts, and screams, slides away, the camera shows The King overtaking Chick, and he drives away revving his engine] Bob Cutlass: [Then the camera shows Bob Cutlass and Darrell Cartrip] Welcome back to the Dinoco 400, I'm Bob Cutlass, here with my good friend, Darrell Cartrip, we're midway through what may turn out to be a historic day for racing. Darrell Cartrip: Bob, my oil pressure's through the roof right now. If this gets anymore exciting, they're gonna have to throw me out of the booth! Bob Cutlass: Right you are, Darrell. Three cars are tied for the season points lead, heading into the final race of the season. And the winner of this race Darrell, will win the season title and, the Piston Cup. Does The King, Strip Weathers, have one more victory in him before retirement? Darrell Cartrip: He's been Dinoco's golden boy for years! Can he win them one last Piston Cup? Bob Cutlass: And, as always, in the second place spot we find Chick Hicks. He's been chasing that tailfin his entire career. Darrell Cartrip: Chick thought this was his year, Bob. His chance to finally emerge from The King's shadow. But the last thing he expected was... Lightning McQueen! Bob Cutlass: You know, I don't think anybody expected this. The rookie sensation came into the season unknown. But everyone knows him now. Darrell Cartrip: Will he be the first rookie to win a Piston Cup and land Dinoco? Bob Cutlass: The legend, the runner up, and the rookie! Three cars, one champion! [The camera then shows the racers. Chick is trying to overtake Strip Weathers, who was blocking his way. McQueen then catches up to Chick as they try to get ahead of one another] Chick: No, you don't. [McQueen then moves to the left and finally overtakes Chick's, McQueen chuckles,] Chick: Hey! [Chick then gains on McQueen as Real Gone ends. Chick then bumps McQueen, causing him to slide off the track onto the infield. The crowd is heard booing to what had happened.] Fans: Ooh. What a ride! Chick: Fans: Go get 'em, McQueen! Go get 'em! We love you, Lightning! [whistles, McQueen then drives back on the track, behind all of the other racers. Chick then looks back to see McQueen far behind him.] Chick: Dinoco's all mine. [bumps a race car named Winford Bradford Rutherford, who slides into the wall, and collides with all of the other racers] Darrell Cartrip: Trouble, turn-3! Chick: Get through that, McQueen. Bob Cutlass: Oh, a huge crash behind the leaders! Fans: [gasps, the camera then shows all of the different racers as they collide, with one flying through the air, and one losing its tire. Claude Scruggs and another racer named Billy Oilchanger then stop, facing towards each other. Claude giggles, grunts as he gets hit by another racer, gasps as another racer named Todd Marcus comes towards him, Claude then gets hit by Todd, ending upside down on Todd's roof, Claude and Todd screams, then the camera shows McQueen, who is driving through the wreckage and dodging the other racers.] Bob Cutlass: Wait a second, Darrell. McQueen is in the wreckage. Darrell Cartrip: There's no way the rookie can make it through! Not in one piece that is. [McQueen continues dodging the other racers who are sliding across the track. Then he bounces on Claude's undercarriage up into the air. McQueen exhales deeply and having his tongue down. Then he moves his tire towards the audience, as a reflection of McQueen's bolt sticker shines on them] Lightning McQueen: Yeah..... Mia & Tia: Lightning, ahh! Darrell Cartrip: [McQueen then lands back on the ground.] Look at that, McQueen made it through! Bob Cutlass: Man, a spectacular move by Lightning McQueen. Lightning McQueen: Yeah! Ka-chow! Fans: McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! Fan: Yeah McQueen! Ka-chow! [honks his horn, while the crowd members around him are disgusted by its loud noise] Bob Cutlass: While everyone else heads into the pits, McQueen stays out to take the lead! Broken car: [While Bob is talking, a pace car named Charlie Checker appears in front of McQueen. Then the camera then shows a tow truck named Tow towing a damaged racer called Chuck Armstrong] Don't take me out coach. I can still race! [The camera then shows most of the other racers having a pit stop. It then shows Chick, while his pities are changing his tires.] Chick: What do you think boys? A thing of beauty. Chick's coach: McQueen made it through! Chick: What?! [The camera then shows the TV screen, which McQueen is still on the track.] Chick's coach: He's not pitting! Chick: Come on, you gotta get me out there! Let's go! Get me back out there! Come on! Bob Cutlass: McQueen's not going into the pits! Darrell Cartrip: You know the rookie just fired his crew chief. That's the third one this season! Bob Cutlass: [The other racers are seen driving through the pit lane back onto the track] Well, he says he likes working alone, Darrell. [While Bob is talking, Chick is seen ending his pit stop as the other racers are driving past him, Chick then starts off, getting in the middle of the queue.] Chick's coach: Go, go, go, go, go and go! Bob Cutlass: Looks like Chick got caught up in the pits. Darrell Cartrip: Yeah, after a stop lik

Honestly this game just keeps bringing up good ol' memories and keeps the fun coming. I know it may be a lil biased of me since I'm a race car driver myself but highly recommend this game for casual and serious drivers. This game is also easy to Mod with a community out there for it as well as 4, & 5.
