Lightning McQueen

&nbsp Lightning McQueen is the main character in the film Cars. He is a red N.A.S.C.A.R. racer sporting a lightning bolt down the side, the Rust-eze logo on his bonnet and the number 95. He is a cocky rookie, usually achieving a top 3 position in races, his main rivals being The King and Chick Hicks. He finishes the final of the Piston Cup in a three way tie with the King and Chick, so has to participate in a three way race. On the way to the race Mack, Lightning's transporter, is tired and is sent to sleep by some modfied cars - Boost, Snot Rod, Wingo and D.J. While Mack's asleep, a sleeping Lightning falls out the trailer and finds himself going the wrong way down the motorway when he wakes up. He panics and drives as fast as he can looking for Mack, eventually winding up on Route 66 and into the old, sleepy town of Radiator Springs, where he is chased and caught by Sheriff for speeding. He is impounded and put on trial where the judge, Doc Hudson, demands he be set free immediately, but Sally, one of the residents, suggests he fix the road he ruined. When the road is fixed, Lightning can go. Lightning makes friends with the residents of Radiator Springs and doesn't want to leave them, but Doc calls the N.A.S.C.A.R. people to tell them he has Lightning. Lightning goes to the race where the residents act as his pit team and Doc as his crew chief. Lightning is winning the race and is on the last lap when Chick deliberately hits the King and puts him out the race. Lightning brakes before the finish line and drives back to push the King over the line. Chick won the Piston Cup, but was booed and pelted with objects.
