The trailer made it look like NASCAR: THE COMPUTER MOVIE!11 and while the racing is a big angle in the film and there are a lot of actual driver cameos, the movie's not all about rednecks watching cars make left-hand turns.
The majority of the film takes place in Radiator Springs, a "sleepy little town" on Route 66. Being a fan of roadside Americana, I was instantly enthralled. Hell, there's even a mountain monogram on a hill near the town.
The fact that some of the computer animation was technically amazing also didn't hurt things much.
