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

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

The Florida 500 takes place at the Florida International Super Speedway and serves as the film’s major competitive climax. Lightning McQueen enters the event after struggling to compete with the faster next-generation racers, especially Jackson Storm.

Cruz Ramirez’s role becomes crucial during the race. McQueen recognizes her ability and helps her take the opportunity to compete, turning the event into a major moment for both characters. The sequence also connects McQueen’s present to Doc Hudson’s earlier influence and racing legacy.

The Florida 500 should not be confused with the Piston Cup, which is the championship and trophy central to the earlier films. It is also different from Cars 3’s training races and demolition events. The title deliberately echoes real American stock-car racing while remaining part of Pixar’s fictional racing world.
