In Pixar's Cars 3, what is the name of the yellow trainer who becomes a racer?

The story behind the answer

In Pixar's Cars 3, Cruz Ramirez is the yellow trainer who becomes a racer.

Cruz begins the film as a highly skilled trainer at the Rust-eze Racing Center. She helps Lightning McQueen prepare for competition against the newer generation, but her own dream of racing has been discouraged by her belief that she is too inexperienced and by expectations about what kind of car belongs on the track.

As the story progresses, Cruz's knowledge, reflexes, and racing ability become clear. Lightning eventually recognizes that she can compete and gives her the opportunity to race in his place. Cruz then defeats Jackson Storm in the Florida 500 and begins a new racing career.

Cruz is voiced by Cristela Alonzo in the English version. She is not Sally Carrera, the blue Porsche from Radiator Springs, and she should not be confused with Lightning's earlier trainer Doc Hudson.
