2023 Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame - Final Round

Lightning McQueen

Lightning McQueen
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Cars (2006)
    Cars 2 (2011)
  • Why you should vote:: He did eventually win the Piston and learned a valuable lesson off the track.
  • Why you should not vote:: Should you not wish to induct a cartoon, we understood.
  • With all apologies to the fans of Pixar’s Cars, we made a mistake not putting Lightning McQueen on the original ballot. Saying that, we have the aforementioned anthropomorphic NASCAR looking automobile that was a brash rookie, which though has been a common thread in many racing films, we actually have one that showcases more character depth than many of those other “live action” ones combined. He didn’t win the Piston Cup in the first film (though by the sequel we would learn that he would win the championship later) it is a winning character.

    Chances are your young child would put in a vote for Lightning!
