Taking place sometime after the events of the previous game, Cars Mater-National Championship is about the first ever Mater-National tournament, held in Radiator Springs by Lightning McQueen and Mater. The Wii version of this game was developed by Incinerator Games, while the GBA and DS versions were developed by Rainbow Studios.

When Lightning hears about the robbery, he brings the tuners to justice and were later impounded, also they confess that they didn't plan the robbery, they were paid by Chick Hicks to do so. Later, the tuners spot Mack on the highway and prepares to rob him of Lightning's race gear, which they succeeded (Snot Rod provided a ramp for Boost to jump on Mack's trailer, and also woke him up).
The tuners agree to race him, but unfortunately, they lost. Though he doesn't say anything, Lightning challenges them to a race, and that when he wins, they'll let him pass, and offer one of Boost's nitro canisters. In the Cars video game, which takes place after the movie, Snot Rod and the other tuners refuse to let Lightning McQueen get through a part of Tailfin Pass. He is caught by Sheriff at the end of the film, along with the other tuners, and forced to fix the road with Bessie. Along with his tuner car group, he causes Lightning McQueen to fall out of his trailer. He sneezes a lot and is the only one in the group who is a muscle car. He still has allergies and explosive sneezing attacks, but his ability to clear the road of pesky traffic is unmatched and much appreciated by his buddies who like the road all to themselves. On the way he met up with Boost, DJ, and Wingo! The highly modified car group made him the gang's head of security and crowd control. Snot Rod took his doctor's advice and headed west to find some clean, crisp mountain air to relieve his chronic allergies.
