At which fictional speedway does the final race take place in Pixar’s Cars 3?

The story behind the answer

The final race in Pixar’s Cars 3 takes place at Florida International Super Speedway.

The fictional Florida International Super Speedway hosts the climactic Florida 500, where Lightning McQueen faces Jackson Storm. McQueen begins the race as the Rust-eze team’s intended driver, but the contest develops into a turning point for both his career and Cruz Ramirez’s future.

After Cruz reveals her racing ability, McQueen allows her to take over. She competes against the newer generation of racers and wins the Florida 500, while McQueen adopts a mentor role. The result is not merely a victory for one driver; it marks the transfer of a racing legacy.

Cars 3 was released in 2017 and directed by Brian Fee. The film’s speedway is fictional, even though its stock-car racing presentation draws on real American racing traditions and the visual language of NASCAR-style venues.
