What is the name of the demolition derby arena in Pixar's Cars 3?

Thunder Hollow is the demolition derby arena in Pixar's Cars 3.

Lightning McQueen visits Thunder Hollow while trying to prepare for a new style of competition. The venue hosts the Crazy 8 demolition derby, a rough event featuring battered and eccentric vehicles rather than polished professional racers. Lightning enters under the disguise of Chester Whipplefilter, hoping to keep his true identity hidden.

The sequence contrasts sharply with the official Piston Cup races. Instead of a carefully maintained track, Thunder Hollow is a dusty, chaotic arena where survival and improvisation matter. The event also introduces Miss Fritter, a school bus who dominates the derby and becomes one of the film's memorable supporting characters.

Thunder Hollow is often confused with Radiator Springs, the town central to the first film, or with the professional racing venues used elsewhere in Cars 3. The name belongs specifically to the demolition-derby location and its Crazy 8 event.
