In Pixar’s Cars on the Road, which voice actor returns as Lightning McQueen?

In Pixar’s Cars on the Road, Owen Wilson returns as the voice of Lightning McQueen.

The Disney+ series follows Lightning and Mater on a road trip across the United States. Its episodic format allows the characters to visit new places and enter different genres, including mystery, horror, and prehistoric adventure while retaining the franchise’s comedy and friendship themes.

Owen Wilson originated Lightning McQueen’s English-language voice in the 2006 feature Cars and reprised the role in later Cars films and related productions. His returning performance helps connect the series to the theatrical movies.

The cast is easy to mix up because several major Cars characters have different performers. Chris Cooper voices Smokey, Armie Hammer voices Jackson Storm in Cars 3, and Michael Caine voices Finn McMissile in Cars 2.
