In Pixar's Cars 3, which track hosts the climactic race between Lightning McQueen and Jackson Storm?

In Pixar's Cars 3, the climactic race between Lightning McQueen and Jackson Storm takes place at Florida International Speedway.

The race is the final event of the Piston Cup season and is staged in a fictionalized version of the real Florida International Speedway. McQueen's comeback has led to a mentoring partnership with Cruz Ramirez, but he initially intends to prove that he can still defeat the younger next-generation racers himself.

During the race, McQueen changes strategy and gives Cruz the chance to compete. The decision ties the action to the film's larger theme: a champion's legacy can continue through teaching someone else, not only through personal victories.

The track should not be confused with real Daytona International Speedway. Cars 3 uses fictional racing venues and stylized versions of motorsport locations, while Florida International Speedway is the name used for the film's finale.
