In Pixar’s Cars 3, at which fictional speedway does Cruz Ramirez race Jackson Storm?

Cruz Ramirez races Jackson Storm at the fictional Florida International Super Speedway in Pixar’s Cars 3. The race is the film’s climactic Piston Cup event and becomes Cruz’s opportunity to compete after Lightning McQueen gives her his place.

The speedway represents the modern, high-tech racing world that McQueen has struggled to enter. Before the final race, McQueen trains with Cruz and eventually realizes that her own racing ability should not be limited to a coaching role. His decision allows her to challenge Storm directly.

Cruz wins the race, while McQueen begins a new phase as her mentor. He adopts a new racing number and colors inspired by Doc Hudson, linking the ending to Doc’s earlier guidance. The Florida International Super Speedway is fictional, unlike real NASCAR venues, and should not be confused with the Thomasville Speedway or other tracks shown in the film.
