Trivia
- The 1964 Piston Cup is the only Piston Cup that was stolen. A thief managed to break into Foyt's house and take the Cup on August 8th, 1991. Foyt and his wife were at Burger King at the time. The cup was found 2 months later in the thief's basement on October 27th, 1991.
- Most Piston Cups are taken care of by the racers themselves or kept in museums but quite a few of them have been sold
- Strip Weathers keeps his and Cal's Piston Cups in his house and either he, Lynda or Cal cleans the cups every week.
- The cups of Doc Hudson, Lightning McQueen, and Cruz Ramirez are kept in the Hudson Hornet museum.
- The Piston Cups are made out of gold. The base is just black colored plastic.
- The 1956 Piston Cup is the only Piston Cup not to be located in the USA, having gone through the UK and is currently owned by a car in Italy.
