What is the name of the race track where Cars’ Piston Cup tiebreaker is held?

The story behind the answer

The Piston Cup tiebreaker in Pixar’s Cars is held at Los Angeles International Speedway.

The race is arranged after Lightning McQueen, Chick Hicks, and The King finish the season tied. McQueen is transported to the track for the decisive event, where the three racers compete for the championship. The film’s finale takes place in front of a large crowd and brings together the rivalries established throughout the story.

Los Angeles International Speedway is a fictional venue in the Cars universe. Its name evokes real American racing facilities, but it should not be confused with the real Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum or with NASCAR tracks such as Daytona International Speedway.

The event is also distinct from the Motor Speedway of the South, a separate fictional track seen in the opening sequence. That race contributes to the season standings but is not the final tiebreaker.
