In the beginning of the movie he is racing for the Piston Cup in Nashville, Tennessee and ties for first place with the King and Chick Hicks. On his way to the tie breaker he falls out of his carrier, Mack and winds up in a small town called Radiator Springs where he makes a lot of new friends. Later when McQueen is found he competes in the race and almost wins but stops when the King crashes and is totaled.
