Well we packed up and were on our way to the big race. I was just praying that I wouldn't be bored. "You okay, sweetheart?" Dad called to me. "Yeah, just daydreamin'" I told him. "You excited to see your old man race?" He asked me. "Dad you know how I feel when you call yourself old!" I reminded him as I playfully punched him in the tire. Dad just laughed at me. "I know." He said. "But yeah I'm excited." I answered him. "Maybe this will help you get into racing?" Dad questioned. I sighed in annoyance. Dad has been trying to get me to race since he races and Mom helps him in the pit crew. "Dad.." I started but paused with a sigh. "We'll talk later, okay?" Dad suggested. "Yes. That seems good." I agreed. It was then an awkward silence between us until we arrived at the tracks. "Aren't you coming, Dad?" I turned around after I got out of the truck. "Yeah. I'll be there in a minute. Gotta give a little motivation." Dad explained. I nodded and strolled to the pits with Mom. Dad was right. It was quieter here than in the bleachers. "Hey yer okay there, Ash?" I heard Mater ask me. "Yeah. I'm just new to all this." I told him. "Well you will have darnest fun out here!" Mater exclaimed which made me smile. "Say, do you know where McQueen's at?" Mater asked me. "Oh he's in the truck still but wants a moment of motivation to himself." I informed Mater. "Oh okay. You excited to be 'ere?" Mater questioned. "I am actually. I hope my dad can beat that Jackson Storm. He doesn't sound good." I told Mater. "Who says that?" A voice from behind said. I quickly turned around and a high tech racer was there. He looked younger and newer than Dad. He was black with dark blue neon and silver on him. "Oh uh." I said. The guy chuckled. "You're new." He mentioned. "Y-Yeah. My first race. After a while at least." I told him. Was this Jackson Storm that Dad talked about? "Are you Jackson Storm?" I asked. "Don't wear it out." The man said with a smirk. This Jackson guy was kind of cute. No! Don't be saying that, Ashley! He's dad's opponent. "Well I see you met Jackson, Ashley." I heard my dad chime in. "Yes I have Mr.McQueen. Good luck out there in the track." Jackson said and started to drive off. He then winked at me and turned out of sight. I was confused but didn't care. "Hey dad?" I called to him. He turned to me. "Where's Angel at?" I asked him. "Sorry I'm late!!" A voice screamed as she came running in. Angel was very different than us. She had a human and horse ability. It was weird but we considered her family. (Those who have read 'I Landed In The World Of Cars!' will get this.) She was McQueen's crew chief and I was told that her and McQueen have been best friends forever. I loved that Angel's horse self had dapple grey spots all over her with a lighter grey to it. "Angel! This race could change my fate!" Dad yelled at her. "I'm sorry, McQueen but traffic was crazy. But I'm here!" Angel exclaimed trying to catch her breath. "Yeah you're right. That's all that matters. Well go get set up in the pits." McQueen commanded. "Yes sir!" Angel said and trotted away. Angel was very loyal to my Dad but that's because they are very close. And yes my mom was okay with that. "Hey dad?" I called to him as we began driving closer to the pits. "Yes?" He said. "Didn't Angel use to race with you?" I asked. "Yes she did." Dad answered. "Well why doesn't she anymore?" I questioned. Dad sighed. "Well, she got into a bad accident on the track and broke her leg. That's why she has that scar on her head." Dad explained to me. "Oh wow. That's crazy." I said. "Yeah. Even though she swore to never race again, she said she will be my new crew chief." Dad told me. "Yeah." I said. "Well, Stickers. It's time to get on the tracks." Mom told him. "Okay. I love you both." Dad told Sally and I. "Oh and we love you too dad. Good luck out there." I told him as he kissed mom and I's cheek and drove to the track. "I hope he does great, Mom." I told her. "Oh he will. I know my Stickers." Mom said which made me roll my eyes. We then all waited until the timer started.

They then all took off. I immediately spotted my dad and Jackson. I heard Angel telling McQueen what to do and I will say that she is pretty good at it. But then...I got this feeling. Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen?
