Lightning McQueen

Lightning McQueen is one of the most popular Disney Cars Toys characters – he is a young, quick racecar. Throughout his rookie season, he was known as a “One man show”, constantly firing crew chiefs and forcing other crew members to quit. Lightning had the lead in the Piston Cup, ahead of Strip Weathers(a.k.a. The King) and Chick Hicks by about half a lap, and beating the other racers as well. When McQueen refused to have his tires changed, his tires began to wear out and pop on the final stretch. This allowed The King and Hicks to catch up, and the race ended with a three-way tie. On his way to California for the tie-breaker and a shot with Dinoco, McQueen became separated from his driver.

McQueen found himself in a small town, Radiator Springs, on the historic root 66. By the

time McQueen got out or Radiator Springs, he had made new friends, and learned there’s more than winning. In the final three-way tie breaking race, Hicks bumped into the King, and sent the King out of control. It was a fatal crash, and McQueen was too far ahead for Hicks to catch up. It appeared that McQueen had earned the Piston Cup. However, McQueen stopped just before the finish line, went back to the King, and helped him cross the finish line. Although McQueen did not cross the finish line first, many say that he was the true winner. McQueen will return once again for another season of racing.

Lightning McQueen and all the rest of the exciting characters from the Animated Disney Cars are available online at Disney Cars Toys Online Store.
