Good point.
So thinking in non-Dramatica terms, LM’s problem seems to be something having to do with refusing anyone else’s help, or thinking he’s above help from anyone (this leads to the tire blowout problem, for example). He says he’s a “one-man show.” Realizing that he does need and want a team is what brings everyone from Radiator Springs to help him in the Piston Cup.
So what does a problem like that look like in Dramatica-speak?
