In Pixar’s Cars 3, which racing circuit hosts the final race between Lightning McQueen and Jackson Storm?

In Pixar’s Cars 3, the final race between Lightning McQueen and Jackson Storm takes place at Los Angeles International Speedway.

The Los Angeles International Speedway is the setting for the film’s climactic Florida 500. McQueen begins the race under pressure after a difficult season, while Cruz Ramirez takes on a larger role after her own racing ability becomes clear.

The race is important because McQueen changes his strategy rather than trying to defeat Storm through speed alone. He uses Cruz’s strengths and ultimately helps her claim the victory. The result marks a transition in McQueen’s career instead of simply repeating the championship structure from the first film.

The location is fictional, although its name evokes real American motorsport venues. It should not be confused with Motor Speedway of the South, the opening venue in Cars, or Thunder Hollow, the demolition-derby setting in Cars 3.
