Which fictional Florida racetrack hosts the final race in Pixar’s Cars 3?

The Florida International Super Speedway hosts the final race in Pixar’s Cars 3.

The track is the setting for the climactic Florida 500, where Lightning McQueen faces Jackson Storm and attempts to reclaim his place in the racing world. The speedway is fictional, but its name and presentation draw on the tradition of large American oval racing venues.

Cars 3 centers on McQueen’s struggle with a new generation of technologically advanced racers. After a crash and a difficult training period, he returns to competition with help from his trainer Cruz Ramirez and lessons connected to Doc Hudson’s past.

The Florida 500 is also important because the race’s outcome changes McQueen’s role. The story does not treat victory as only a matter of finishing first; it connects racing success with mentorship and the future of the sport. The track should not be confused with the real Daytona International Speedway, which is a separate Florida venue.
