The car used for Mario Andretti's cameo is the Holman-Moody Ford Fairlane Andretti drove to victory in the 1967 Daytona 500 - a race in which Richard Petty was one of the favorites to win. Petty dropped out of the race due to a blown engine.
Premiered at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina.
"Cars" has a lot of repeated character names from the Isaac Asimov short story "Sally" where robotic sentient cars are the main subject.
When Lightning McQueen finally gets pulled over by the sheriff after destroying the road, the sheriff says, "You're in a heap o' trouble, boy." This is a direct reference to Dodge commercials featuring Joe Higgins as the sheriff which aired in the early '70s.
