The '''Thomasville Speedway''' is an abandoned Piston Cup racetrack where [[Cruz Ramirez]] helps train [[Lightning McQueen]] during his recovery after his nasty accident. According to the sign, it is also the once home of [[Doc Hudson]], and likely also a track where he raced as part of his 3 [[Piston Cup]]-winning campaigns. | |||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
*Thomasville is primarily based on North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, located in a region known as "The Moonshine Capital of America" and home to the North Wilkesboro Speedway, one of the first NASCAR tracks. | |||
*The Thomasville Speedway also may have taken some Occoneechee Speedway in Hillsborough, North Carolina, where Louise Smith (the inspiration for [[Louise Nash]]) made her racing debut. | |||
*Thomasville could be named after Herb Thomas, a former race car driver who used to drive one of the real Fabulous Hudson Hornets. | |||
*During the credits sequence there is a sign advertising the Thomasville Speedway that indicates it is in Georgia. Thomasville, Georgia is a real town in South Georgia, approximately 35 miles northeast of Tallahassee. This could mean that it is in the same location of its real counterpart. | |||
