In this graphic novel-style retelling of the first Disney-Pixar Cars movie, hotshot rookie race car Lightning McQueen is living life in the fast lane until he hits a detour on his way to the most important race of his life. Now stranded in Radiator Springs, a forgotten town on U.S. Route 66, he meets Sally, Mater, Doc Hudson, and a variety of quirky characters who help him discover that there is more to life than trophies and fame.
