'McQueen is fading. Fading fast,' the track announcer proclaimed over loudspeakers.
The four-time Piston Cup champion fishtailed before swinging wildly out of control with tires burning rubber.
The screen went black and heavy breathing was heard before sparks were shown flying on the track.
McQueen was then shown spinning mid-air with parts flying off.
The video went silent as a title card read, 'From This Moment Everything Will Change.'

A description along with the 49-second teaser explained that McQueen has been 'blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers' and is 'suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves'.
McQueen relies on the help of an eager young race technician, Cruz Ramirez, who has her own plan to win.
'Proving that #95 isn’t through yet will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage!,' the description added.
