Corrected entry: In Cars, Lightning McQueen gets the nickname "Stickers" because he doesn't have real headlights, they are stickers. In Cars 3 when they are training in the forest scene, Smokey tells them all to turn off their headlights, and McQueen turns his off.

Suggested correction: It's set in McQueen's perspective.
It's not in McQueen's perspective. We see both cars from a different angle, and they are further apart than the initial stopping point.
Smokey Yunick: You will never be the racer you once were. Accept it.
Trivia: This is Nathan Fillion's second Pixar film; he was also Johnny Worthington in Monsters University.
