In Pixar's Cars 3, which race track hosts the film's final championship race?

The story behind the answer

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

The Florida International Super Speedway is the fictional track where Lightning McQueen races Jackson Storm in the film's climactic Piston Cup event. McQueen initially intends to prove that he can still compete with the new generation, but his training with Cruz Ramirez changes the direction of the race and his career.

The stadium and track are presented as a large modern motorsports venue, contrasting with the historic racing environments connected to McQueen's earlier career. The film uses the final race to resolve its themes of aging, mentorship, and what it means to continue a legacy.

Cars 3 was released in 2017 and directed by Brian Fee. The track's name is easy to confuse with other fictional speedways in the franchise, including the Motor Speedway of the South from the first Cars film and Thomasville Speedway, where McQueen trains.
