In Pixar’s Cars 3, what is the name of the final race won by Cruz Ramirez?

In Pixar’s Cars 3, Cruz Ramirez wins the final race called the Florida 500.

The Florida 500 is the decisive Piston Cup race at the end of Cars 3. Lightning McQueen begins the event for Rust-eze, but after deciding that Cruz deserves the chance to race, he helps her take over. Cruz then competes against Jackson Storm and wins the event.

The race mirrors the first Cars film, where Lightning’s choices at the finish line matter as much as the result. In Cars 3, the outcome confirms Lightning’s transition from young champion to mentor. The title can be confused with the Piston Cup itself, which is the championship trophy and series, not the name of this specific race. Florida 500 is the film’s fictional event name and is separate from real-world races held in Florida.
