What is the name of the final race in Pixar’s Cars 3?

The final race in Pixar’s Cars 3 is the Florida 500.

The Florida 500 is the major stock-car event where Lightning McQueen makes his comeback attempt against the younger racer Jackson Storm. Much of the film follows Lightning’s preparation for this race, including his training with Cruz Ramirez and a return to the racing style associated with Doc Hudson.

The event is part of the film’s fictional Piston Cup racing world. It is not the same as the Piston Cup trophy or the World Grand Prix, the international competition featured in Cars 2. The Florida 500 also becomes important to Cruz, who takes an unexpected role in the race and helps change the direction of Lightning’s career. The film’s climactic race combines the series’ familiar racing locations and characters with a new generation of competitors.
