In Pixar’s Cars 3, what is the name of the racecourse where the final Florida race takes place?

The story behind the answer

In Pixar’s Cars 3, the final Florida race takes place at the Florida International Super Speedway.

The fictional speedway hosts the decisive race between Lightning McQueen and Jackson Storm. It is the setting for the film’s climax, where Lightning uses the training and strategy developed with Cruz Ramirez to challenge the dominant next-generation racer. The race is presented as a major Piston Cup event and draws the attention of the racing world.

The track’s design reflects the large oval speedways associated with American stock-car racing. Its name also helps distinguish it from the other fictional venues in the Cars universe, including Motor Speedway of the South, which appears in the first film, and Thomasville Speedway, which is connected to Doc Hudson’s past.

A common mix-up is calling the final venue simply “Florida Speedway.” The film uses the longer fictional name Florida International Super Speedway, making that the specific answer for the championship race setting.
