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

The story behind the answer

The demolition-derby track in Pixar's Cars 3 is Thunder Hollow Speedway. Lightning McQueen visits the venue while training with Cruz Ramirez, who introduces him to a rougher and less conventional form of competition.

Thunder Hollow is a dirt-covered arena rather than a polished professional racing circuit. Its signature event is the Crazy Eight demolition derby, where vehicles race while also attempting to damage and eliminate one another. The sequence gives the film a comic change of pace from the formal Piston Cup races.

The name can be confused with Radiator Springs Raceway, a separate track associated with the Cars world, or with the Los Angeles International Speedway featured in the first film. Thunder Hollow Speedway is specifically the setting for the demolition-derby sequence in Cars 3.
