In Pixar's 2006 film Cars, what is the name of the rookie race car voiced by Owen Wilson?

In Pixar's 2006 film Cars, the rookie race car voiced by Owen Wilson is Lightning McQueen.

Lightning is the film's central character and begins the story as a talented but arrogant competitor in the Piston Cup. His racing number is 95, a reference to 1995, the year Pixar released Toy Story, its first feature film. Lightning's design combines features associated with American stock cars, including a low aerodynamic body and prominent sponsor decals.

The character is stranded in the small town of Radiator Springs after damaging the road. There, relationships with Doc Hudson, Sally Carrera, Mater, and other residents change his priorities. The film's story contrasts individual success with friendship, community, and respect.

Lightning McQueen is sometimes confused with Jackson Storm, the modern racer introduced in Cars 3. Storm is Lightning's younger rival, while Chick Hicks is his principal competitor in the first film.
