Corrected entry: When Lightening McQueen is chasing after Mack after being dumped out, he leaves the Interstate, hits some dirt and corrects the slide to get back on the road. According to his multiple attempts on the track at Willy's Butte, Lightening doesn't know how to do this, and it becomes the basis of him learning a "new" way to drive from Doc, and it even helps him in the final race.

Correction: His corrective actions after becoming lost were a "happy accident" and not an intentional manoeuvre - as you point out, he has such trouble with it while racing Doc. If he had intentionally made that manoeuvre early in the film, he wouldn't have had such trouble with Doc, especially because he is so prideful.
