In Cars, the film opens at the Motor Speedway of the South, where cocky and self-centered Lightning McQueen is competing in the Dinoco 400 for the title of the Piston Cup champion. McQueen's racing abilities eventually garnered the attention of the Piston Cup Racing Series, and he became a rookie in the championship's 2005 season. Though he was initially hesitant due to the sponsor's humiliating demeanor, McQueen agreed as long as Mack could become his transporter. Upon their arrival in Boston, Rusty and Dusty Rust-eze offered a sponsorship to McQueen. During their trip, McQueen and Mack became fast friends. Mack, who had overheard McQueen's termination, approached the young hotshot racer and offered to take him to Boston to meet for a job opportunity with Rust-eze, who had been looking, with little success, for a new spokescar.

Towards the start of his racing career, Lightning McQueen raced under the sponsorship of Smell Swell Deodorizer.
