- TriviaFilm driver David Piper lost his leg because of a deep cut caused during a crash. Brake fluid and other debris got into the cut, which caused an infection and the need to amputate the leg. He received a special thanks "for his sacrifice" at the end credits.
- GoofsDuring a night pit stop, you can see the breaths of McQueen and his manager, even though the race takes place in June. This may have been due to the movie shoot running well past schedule, ending in November.
- Quotes
Lisa Belgetti: When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Michael Delaney: Well, it better be.
Lisa Belgetti: But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Michael Delaney: Lotta people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well. When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
