racing isn't the initial framework

the story just so happened to follow a race car. Not every car in the cars universe is a race car.

I wasn't saying every car is a racecar, but Cars 1 starts off with the main plot being about a arrogant racecar trying to win the race, and when he ties his entire goal is getting back to racing.

That initial act is replaced when he is forced to slow down due to his own actions, and it was refreshing that the plot develops more into a "stop and smell the roses" style movie.
