History[]
[]
In the Cars 2005 Teaser Trailer, it is seen as an oval-type track going to be used in the first movie, however the name was used instead in the games below. It resembles the real-life Charlotte Motor Speedway, with evidence coming from the Cars making-of feature on the Cars DVD/Blu-ray as part of inspiration for Cars. This may be why the track name was misread as "Charlotte Springs Speedway".
Cars: Mater-National Championship[]
In Cars: Mater-National Championship, the place was referred to as just a "Stadium". and the stadium was being built throughout the story. About one third through the story, the stadium wasn't finished, but it was ready to race on, so Lightning McQueen and Doc Hudson had a race, along with Otto Von Fassenbottom, Barry and Luigi.
A second race took place at night, after the Ornament Valley events, with Lightning McQueen, Otto Von Fassenbottom, Gudmund, Lenny, and Sonny. At this point, the stadium still wasn't complete.
After Canyon Run, the Stadium is finally built. There, Lightning McQueen and Giovanni hosted the last two events of the Mater-National, Stadium Race 4 and Team Relay 4.
Cars: Race-O-Rama[]
In Cars: Race-O-Rama, the place was referred to as "Radiator Springs Speedway." It is one of the four locations in the Race-O-Rama series. The speedway has more tracks now, and for the first time, you can explore it. This speedway hosts Mack Track Challenge, both Sprints and Academy Challenges, Hudson Student Run, Reunion Rundown and Chick Hicks Showdown. Minigames in this place includes Guido Kart 1 and 9, Auto Cross 1 and Photo Op 1.
