In Pixar’s Cars 3, the Florida International Super Speedway is located in Florida.
The fictional speedway hosts the decisive final race of Cars 3. It is presented as a massive modern oval track, contrasting with the older dirt tracks and small-town roads used during McQueen’s training. The race brings together McQueen, Jackson Storm, and the other Piston Cup competitors before the film’s final change of drivers.
The Florida setting matters because McQueen’s plan is to return to top-level competition on a major racing stage. Cruz Ramirez initially serves as his crew chief, but after McQueen gives her the chance to race, she enters the competition in his place. McQueen then adopts a new role supporting her from the pit area.
Florida International Super Speedway is fictional, so it is not the same as a real NASCAR venue. Cars 3 uses a stylized combination of stock-car racing imagery and animation rather than identifying an actual track. The state reference appears in the venue’s name and establishes the race’s southeastern U.S. setting.
