(Four months, at Radiator springs)

Mike Joyride: (on a radio) Welcome to Piston. cup around-the-clock where we do nothing but talk racing. Let's get to it. Starting of course with Lightning McQueen and the Paw Patrol, the season start just two weeks away there's still no official announcement. But with number 95 and the pups coming off their worst year on record, don't shoot the messenger here folks. I think it's safe to assume that Lightning McQueen's and the Paw Patrol's racing days are over. Meanwhile Jackson Storm is looking even faster than....

(Lightning, who was in primer, and Champ, who's taken a lot of beaten, stops the radio and sadly sighs. Then, Lightning and Champ start to watch the video about Doc racing)

Announcer: (in the video) The number six and the number 12 cars are still fighting it out to the lead. but wait, here he comes! It's the Fabulous Hudson Hornet knocking at their door. What's he got up his sleeve today? And there it is! With one incredible move, he has passed them. The hornet takes this decisive lead. He's left the pack behind. His crew chief Smokey is loving it.. It's unbelievable! Oh no, he's in trouble! The Hudson Hornet has lost control! THE HUDSON HORNET HAS LOST CONTROL!!!

2nd Announcer: (in the video) What should been a scene of jubilation has turned tragic here today folks. Has we awaited news on the Hudson Hornet condition, after such a devastating crash we can only hope that this race today wasn't his last.

(Then, the video stops playing as Lightning and Champ was looking very sad while the flashback was shown)

Doc Hudson/The Fabulous Hudson Hornet: (in the flashback) when I finally got put together and went back expecting a big welcome, you know what they said? You are history, moved right on to the next rookie standing in line there was a lot left in me. I never got a chance to show.

(As the flashback ends, Lightning and Champ looked at the newspaper about Doc's crash and Sally, Eric Rookerson, Lucas, Matthew, Grace, the Pups, Liam and Ryder came in)

Sally Carrera: Hey, Stickers.

Grace: Hey, Champ.

Lightning McQueen: Hey, Sal.

Champ: Hey guys.

Sally Carrera: How are you feeling?

Champ: Great. Really, really great.

Skye: Thinking about Doc again?

Lightning McQueen: [to Skye; about Doc Hudson] Yeah.

Champ: You know they told him when he was done. He didn't decide. I don't want what happened to Doc... to happen to us and Lightning.

Sally Carrera: But that hasn't happened.

Champ: No. But we can't go out on the track and do the same old thing! It won't work!

Sally Carrera: Then better chance it up, try something new.

Lightning McQueen: I don't know, Sally, we...

Sally Carrera: Don't fear failure. Be afraid of not having the chance. You have the chance. Doc didn't. And you two can either take it or you can do what you been doing. Sitting. In here. For months. and by the way I love what you've done with the place I mean the monster movie Lightning and the musky air freshener and don't let anyone tell you you're not working that primer because wow, I have never found you more attractive and now that I've been in here for a couple of minutes the stench, I'm getting kind of used to it.

Lightning McQueen: Okay Sal, I get it. I get it.

Sally Carrera: I Miss you, Lightning. We all do.

Lightning McQueen: Try something new, huh?

Mater: Hey, did it work Miss Sally? Did you set him straight with your lawyerly powers of persuasion? Are they ready to start training?

Sally Carrera: Well, stinky? Stickers?

Lightning McQueen & Champ: Yes Mater, we are. We decide when we're done.

Sally Carrera: I was hoping you'd say that.

Ryder: Okay, but I got an idea and we're gonna need to talk to Rusty and Dusty,

Mater: Alright. Oh, I'll get them on the horn yeah get them on the horn. oops, oh no, got a sneeze. Dadgum, I lost it. Hey, I will see you a Flo's. I found it... Hey, watch your steps.

[At Flo's everyone was gathered around a phone with Rusty and Dusty on it the phone]

Rusty: With a circular driveway.

Flo: You boys need to get your rusty tails down here. I created a drink in your honor.

Mater: Yeah, the Rusteze medicated bumper balm. it goes down faster than el mater following a bag off.

[Lightning McQueen, Eric Rookerson and the gang came up to the phone]

Lightning McQueen: Rusty and Dusty, Hey guys.

Lightning McQueen: Thanks guys. Wow, you are all here.

Mater: Sorry buddies, did you want this call to be private?

Eric Rookerson: No Mater, this is perfect.

Lightning McQueen: Listen, thanks everyone for...For sticking by us. It took us a while to figure it out, but we know now it's time for us to make some changes.

Sarge: Changes? What kind of changes?

Fillmore: It's futile to resist change, man.

Matthew: You're right Fillmore.

Fillmore: Really?

Champ: Which is why we have an announcement to make. We've thought long and hard about it done a lot of soul-searching and considered all of the options and we finally decided....

Luigi: You guys do want to keep racing?

Lightning McQueen: You kidding? Of course, we want to keep racing.

[Cheering]

Mater: Man for a second..., wait a minute... I knew that the whole time.

Liam: Guys, we're talking about making this our best season yet!

Rusty: We were hoping you'd say that.

Lightning McQueen: The thing is, if we're gonna be faster than Storm, we need to train like him.

Rusty & Dusty: We're way ahead of you buddies!

Rusty: Lightning, guys, we want you all on the road first thing in the morning. So, you all can come out and see the brand new...

Rusty & Dusty: Rusteze Racing Center! It's wicked!
