What is the fictional super-speedway called in Pixar’s Cars 3?

The story behind the answer

The fictional super-speedway in Pixar’s Cars 3 is called Florida International Super Speedway.

The Florida International Super Speedway is the setting for important Piston Cup racing in Cars 3. It is presented as a large modern track that emphasizes the speed and technology of the new generation of racers, including Jackson Storm. The location helps show why Lightning McQueen is struggling to keep pace with newer competitors.

The name can be confused with real Florida tracks, such as Daytona International Speedway and Homestead–Miami Speedway. However, Florida International Super Speedway is a fictional location created for the Cars universe. It should also not be confused with the film’s fictional town of Radiator Springs.

Cars 3 uses this setting to contrast modern racing facilities with the older, more personal racing culture represented by Doc Hudson and Lightning’s earlier career. The speedway is one of several fictional motorsport locations in the franchise.
