Lightning's friends are named Bobby Swift and Cal Weathers, which seem to be a nod to Ricky Bobby and Cal Naughton, Jr. from Ricky Bobby - La storia di un uomo che sapeva contare fino a uno (2006), which was released in the same year that Cars - Motori ruggenti (2006) came out. Cal Weathers' name is also a nod to actor Carl Weathers who played Apollo Creed in the first four "Rocky" movies, and also provided the voice of Combat Carl in Toy Story of Terror (2013). The training scene on Fireball Beach between Lightning McQueen and Cruz Ramirez is a tribute to the beach training scene in Rocky III (1982) between Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed.
