This must been really embarrassing for Lighting McQueen for not changing his tires and causing a three way tie.

“Hey, McQueen! That must be really embarrassing, but I wouldn’t worry about it… BECAUSE I DIDN’T DO IT! Ah-ha-ha-ha!” — Chick Hicks.

Honestly with the lead he had he probably still comfortably wins if he does so and then the ENTIRE movie doesn't happen, in general cars 1 is a series of VERY specific events leading to it's main plot happening and I honestly love that

To think a small act could’ve change the entire course of a franchise

Announcer: For the first time in the history of racing… McQueen: A rookie has won the Piston Cup. Yes! Announcer: We have a 3 way tie for first place! A backup race between the 3 winners will be held next Saturday in Pasadena to determine the winner!

He wanted to give the folks a little sizzle

The butterfly effect

Certified “Hammond you idiot!” Moment

He wasn't embarrassed at all dawg 😭
