Discover which characters won the biggest competition in the Cars universe: the Piston Cup

The Cars franchise, created by Pixar, was responsible for presenting a completely new universe, where anthropomorphic automobiles interact, own businesses, and even work as athletes, given that the main character, Lightning McQueen, is a pilot and often participates in racing championships, the best known among them being the Piston Cup.

The Piston Cup is an American stock car racing championship, which began with dirt track circuits, but was changed to asphalt. Furthermore, the name was later changed to the Hudson Hornet Piston Cup, in honor of the racer who made the championship widely known.

But besides Hudson Hornet, do you know who the Piston Cup winners were? In the franchise’s films, some of them are revealed, others were named through fan theories on social media and online communities. Look!

Chase Racelott, the New Generation Piston Cup race car featured in Cars 3, becomes the Piston Cup winner for the first time in 2020.

Pedro Macaret

In the year of Chase Racelott’s victory, Pedro Macaret becomes runner-up and precedes his effort to win the trophies he won in the following years, as he took first place on the podium in the 2021 and 2022 Piston Cup.

In addition to these, on X (formerly Twitter), a fan theorizes the names that have won the Piston Cup since the competition emerged in the 1940s (the information was never confirmed by Pixar); look:
