What is the name of the fictional race track where the Florida 500 occurs in Pixar’s Cars 3?

The Florida 500 occurs at the Florida International Super Speedway in Pixar’s Cars 3.

The track is the setting for the film’s climactic race, where Lightning McQueen faces Jackson Storm and ultimately helps Cruz Ramirez take his place. It is designed as a large modern superspeedway, contrasting with the older racing venues and training environments associated with McQueen’s earlier career.

The Florida 500 is important because it represents a transition between racing generations. Storm symbolizes data-driven, high-tech competition, while McQueen and Cruz demonstrate the value of experience, adaptability, and mentorship.

The venue should not be confused with real NASCAR tracks or the fictional Motor Speedway of the South from the first Cars. Pixar uses invented racing locations throughout the series, allowing the films to create settings that support their stories without tying them to one real-world circuit.
