Summary
"Hey Doc, you might want to come down to the station," Sheriff suggests to him over his clinic's phone.
"There's some suits here asking for you specifically, said they dropped by your house.”
"What do you mean people with suits are looking for me? Why would they need me? You're the Sheriff." Carefully pulling the next looping stitch through the small laceration on the little boy's arm.
"Yeah.. well they have some official looking files with them, so I would hurry up what you're doing and get here before they sniff you out at your clinic.”
Finishing another stitch, he grumbled, "Give me ten minutes and I'll be there, just stall them Mike. You're good at that."
Mater's green eyes lit up as he ripped the ruby red lollipop out of Doc’s hand.
(Or the story where Doc raises Lightning from the very beginning. Some things change, some things will stay the same. Buckle up!)

Summary
Lightning McQueen has always believed being a racer means pushing past the pain...until his knees remind him otherwise. From starting as a one-man show to collapsing mid-race in front of his crew when he ignores the warning signs, Lightning’s career is marked by a pain he can’t outrun.
But it’s also marked by the people who step up for him one way or another: Mack, Doc, Cal and Bobby, and soon, the whole town. In both big and small gestures, they teach him that asking for help isn’t weakness. It's a part of life.
(OR; a series of connected snapshots about Lightning's chronic knee pain and how he learns to let others in.)

Summary
To put it lightly as possible; Lightning McQueen is not experiencing the best of times. His career is on the line and he just can’t find something to fix it.
All because of this- this sensational rookie Jackson Storm— who appeared out of nowhere.
Worst of all, he has it out for McQueen, for one reason or another. So, why the heck does he keep running into him?

Summary
Doc had a routine.
The same one everyday.
Hearing the sharp knock on his front door at 7am and listening to Sheriff shout his name was certainly not part of his routine.
"Dammit." Was his only thought.
Or.. Doc's POV of Cars

Summary
Lightning McQueen and Sally Carrera take on their next adventure: Parenthood. But they soon realize that raising a racer takes more than just a full tank and a smooth start. The folks of Radiator Springs will discover that some roads have more twists and turns than they ever expected.
NOTE: This is an older fanfiction I originally posted on FFN. I'm currently revising the older chapters before reposting them here to share the story with a broader audience who may not have read it before. Feel free to continue reading on the other site, but keep in mind that the earlier chapters there aren't as well edited, and my writing skills have since improved.
By the way, there is a Spotify playlist (soundtrack) for this story (just search How to Raise a Racecar). I add songs that inspire or remind me about the story and its characters.

Summary
Lightning McQueen had it all: talent, swagger, and a full ride to Alabama's top-tier football program. But in one brutal, career-altering moment, it all came crashing down. A torn ligament. A season lost. Fast forward ten months, and he's just another guy trying to reclaim what's slipping through his fingers. A shattered dream, a coach who's moved on, and a dad who refuses to let him fall any further.
When a D3 school in the middle of nowhere offers a lifeline, McQueen has two choices: clean up his act or let his past consume him. But as the road ahead gets harder, redemption might be the only thing left worth fighting for.

Summary
Doc just couldn't shake this cough. Three months of nearly hacking a lung up and he made the executive decision to break down and see his doctor. Lightning's worried glances only seemed to grow as the days dragged on without a resolution.
He knew eventually it would catch up to him.
You didn't make it to sixty five years old without some sort of health problems causing a fender bender in life.
He should be grateful he hadn't had any issues earlier in his youth, what with the amount of packs he used to smoke from ages 15 to... well now.
Seeing the CT scan results, he kind of wishes he had listened to Smokey when he grumbled at him, "Those things will be the death of you kid."
(Or Doc faces his mortality, has some 'fun' procedures, worries his adopted son, and tries like hell to finally kick the smoking habit)

Summary
Lightning Mcqueen was at the top of the world. Racing against friends and new racers was an amazing feeling. Everything was great until a new racer show up. His name? Jackson Storm. After he show up, everything in the racing sport started to change. Racers, teams, sponsors and the public.
((So I saw a pic about Storm and then I discover fanfics about Storm and Lightning and totally ship them. Sadly there isn't many fanfics of this two so I'm making one myself. This fanfic take place at the beginning of Cars 3 since I think the movie was a bit rushed. Also I will be changing the age of some characters.))
