In Pixar’s Cars 3, what is the name of Doc Hudson’s hometown?

Thomasville is Doc Hudson’s hometown in Pixar’s Cars 3.

Lightning McQueen travels to Thomasville while searching for a way to compete with the faster next-generation racers. The town is associated with Doc Hudson’s earlier racing career and with the older generation of stock-car competitors who helped shape his life.

In Thomasville, Lightning meets Smokey, Doc’s former crew chief and mentor. Smokey explains that Doc’s career changed after a serious crash and that Doc later found a different kind of purpose in Radiator Springs. This history helps Lightning understand that a racer’s identity can extend beyond wins and trophies.

Thomasville is fictional, like Radiator Springs, but the setting reflects the history and culture of American stock-car racing. The film contrasts Thomasville’s older racing traditions with the high-tech training and data-driven methods used by Jackson Storm’s generation.
