I also live in a part of the world which is more or less NASCAR-saturated, so it's an inescapable part of the whole Southern culture. That NASCAR element is probably who so many people find that the beginning of this movie "drags" a bit, but for someone who has lived their entire life in the South, it's as natural as breathing!

AND, Cars has Dale Jr.!

I'm a racing nut, so I thought the first part of the film was fantastic. Pixar did a phenomenal job capturing the sense of raw speed from the angles they displayed the racing at. Little things like the rubber marbles collecting next to the outer wall of the track and the Los Angeles Speedway resembling the Rose Bowl always impress me. Cars had more little fun things to notice than any other Pixar film.

Plus, it made stabs at the Ferrari-nut fanbase, and had the voices of Richard Petty, Humpy Wheeler, and Michael Shumacher!
And the Hudson Hornet! What a beautiful car.
