In Pixar's Cars 3, what town was once the racing home of Doc Hudson?

Thomasville was once the racing home of Doc Hudson in Pixar's Cars 3.

Thomasville, Tennessee, is presented as a historic racing center where Doc Hudson competed before his career was cut short. Lightning McQueen visits the town while searching for a way to recover his speed and understand his mentor's past.

There, Lightning meets Smokey and other veterans who knew Doc. Their stories reveal that Doc was not simply a retired champion: he had been pushed aside after an injury and later found a new purpose as a crew chief and mentor.

Thomasville is distinct from Radiator Springs, where Doc served as the local judge and doctor. The town's old racing history gives Cars 3 a direct link to Doc's life before the events of the original Cars.
