The Motor Speedway of the South, located in Motor City, United States, is the racing speedway which the Piston Cup race at the beginning of Cars, the Dinoco 400, is being held. The first three-way tie in Piston Cup history occurred here, as it was confirmed that Lightning McQueen, The King and Chick Hicks had crossed the finish line at the exact same time.

The Dinoco 400 was held in this speedway. Lightning, Strip "The King" Weathers, and Chick Hicks were looking forward to win the season title and the Piston Cup. It was also supposed to be the last race of The King's racing career as he was due to retire and hand the title to someone else. The race is also known for Chick Hicks causing a huge wreck that involved every competitor on the track (except for himself, The King and Lightning) in an attempt to knock Lightning off the race, with the latter successfully managing to avoid it safely. Though McQueen was able to have a ginormous lead over the other competitors in the first half of the last lap, he blew both his left and right rear tires, forcing him to stick out his tongue in a attempt to win the Piston Cup, as The King and Chick managed to catch up. However, it turned out to be a three-way tie, allowing a tiebreaker race to happen at the Los Angeles International Speedway in the following week. The finishing positions were:
