This causes Lightning 's fellow veterans to either be retired or fired by their sponsors to make way for the new rookies. Then, in the final race of the season, as he tries to catch up to Storm and the other leaders, Lightning suffers a violent, nearly fatal rollover crash, leaving him badly injured. Four months later, while recovering in Radiator Springs, Lightning isolates himself from his friends and spends his time watching footage of his late mentor, Doc Hudson. Confronted by his girlfriend, Sally Carrera, Lightning fears being forced into retirement as Doc was. Rusty and Dusty, the owners of Lightning 's Rust - eze racing team, send him to a new state - of - the - art racing center, much to his surprise. When he arrives, he learns that they have sold Rust - eze to new owner Sterling, who assigns him to work with trainer Cruz Ramirez. Lightning eventually becomes impatient and annoyed with Cruz 's methods and attempts to use a high - tech racing simulator, only to cause severe damage to the equipment. Convinced that Lightning is no longer capable of winning, Sterling is ready to take him off the racing circuit and use him for product endorsements. Lightning offers a deal instead -- if Lightning wins the first race of the upcoming season in Florida, he can decide when he retires ; otherwise, he will retire immediately. Sterling accepts the deal but assigns Cruz to work with him one - on - one. Instead of improving his own top speed, Lightning spends most of the day helping Cruz get used to racing on sandy coastline outside the training center. For inspiration, they travel to a dirt track on which Doc raced, but inadvertently end up competing in a demolition derby, which Cruz ultimately wins. Angry at the apparent waste of training time, Lightning vents his frustration at Cruz, who reveals that she had wanted to race professionally just like Lightning, but never started a race because she felt outclassed. She resigns as McQueen 's trainer and starts back to the training center. Learning that Storm has set a new lap record, Lightning calls his best friend, Mater, for advice. Mater suggests that he track down Doc 's mentor, Smokey. Lightning catches up to Cruz and convinces her to come along, and the two travel to Doc 's hometown of Thomasville, Georgia, where they meet Smokey and several of Doc 's old friends. Smokey reveals that even though Doc never raced again after his crash, he found a new happiness in training Lightning. Smokey and his friends teach Lightning and Cruz how to drive smarter than Storm, with Cruz serving as a sparring partner for Lightning. However, during a final practice race, Cruz suddenly overtakes Lightning and he has a flashback to his crash, shaking his confidence. At the race in Florida, Lightning is encouraged by Smokey and his friends and gradually pushes up through the ranks. Still convinced Lightning can not win, Sterling spots Cruz in the pits and orders her to return to the racing center to begin prepping another racer for the following week 's event, despite her wanting to stay and watch the race. Lightning overhears the exchange and remembers that Cruz had wanted to race because of him. He decides that Cruz is the answer to beating Storm. Entering the pits, Lightning has his pit crew outfit Cruz for racing, complete with his racing number, giving her the chance to finally race. Cruz uses Lightning 's coaching and Smokey 's advice to catch the leaders. Feeling threatened, Storm tries to intimidate Cruz, even pinning her to the wall during the final lap of the race. Instead, Cruz uses the wall to vault over Storm and take first place. She and Lightning are both credited with the victory since they both raced with the winning number. Cruz quits her job with Sterling and accepts an offer from Tex Dinoco for his Dinoco racing team. Later, at an exhibition race in Radiator Springs, Lightning and Cruz reveal they have adopted Doc 's old racing colors and number, respectively, to honor his memory. Tex Dinoco informs the group that he has bought Rust - eze from Sterling, and Lightning decides to continue racing and train Cruz as well. In the post-credits scene, Mater is in his Junkyard, and when his phone rings, he accidentally knocks over his reception antenna and his phone goes dead, much to his dismay.

On October 8, 2015, the film 's release date was announced to be June 16, 2017. On June 10, 2016, during an interview, John Lasseter, director of the previous Cars films, promised a very emotional story, similar in tone to the first film. Co-writer Kiel Murray, who also co-wrote the original Cars, said of the return to the series roots, `` With these franchises you always want to know who it 's about. The first movie was about McQueen, and the second movie was a sort of off - ramp to the Mater story. We wanted to get back to the McQueen story. When we looked at what would be next for him, we wondered what that would be like both as an athlete, and also for what he was dealing with in the rest of his life. '' On January 5, 2017, it was announced that Armie Hammer and Cristela Alonzo would voice Jackson Storm and Cruz Ramirez, respectively. Release Cars 3 was released in theaters on June 16, 2017, in the United States, in 3D and selected IMAX theaters, accompanied by the Pixar short film Lou.

Home Media Cars 3 will be released on Digital HD on October 24, 2017 and it will also be released on DVD, Blu - ray, and 4K Ultra HD Blu - ray on November 7, 2017, by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.

In its third weekend the film made $9.7 million ( $14.1 million over the five - day 4th of July holiday weekend ), dropping to 5th.

Critical response On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 68 % based on 178 reviews, with an average rating of 6.1 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` Cars 3 has an unexpectedly poignant story to go with its dazzling animation, suggesting Pixar 's most middle - of - the - road franchise may have a surprising amount of tread left. '' On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a score of 59 out of 100, based on 41 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews. '' Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale. In his review for Variety, Owen Gleiberman wrote, `` Cars 3 is a friendly, rollicking movie made with warmth and dash, and to the extent that it taps our primal affection for this series, it more than gets the job done. Yet in many ways it 's the tasteful version of a straight - to - DVD ( or streaming ) sequel. '' David Fear of Rolling Stone gave the film a positive review, saying : `` There 's an emotional resonance to this story about growing old, chasing glory days and the joy of passing the baton that leaves the other two films choking on its digitally rendered dust. The end goal this time out is n't just to sell a few more toys and Lightning McQueen lunchboxes. It 's actually tapping into something deeper than a corporate bottom line. '' Mike Ryan of Uproxx called the film ' The Rocky III Of The Cars Franchise, ' and wrote `` There 's a hint of sadness that seems to be present throughout Cars 3 that gives it a little more weight than the previous installments. '' Alonso Duralde of TheWrap gave the film a mixed review, saying : `` As a spawner of merchandise, Cars 3 fires on all pistons but, as a movie, it 's a harmless but never stimulating 109 minutes. '' Vicky Roach gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, saying : `` Returning to the iconic, backroads nostalgia of the original film, Cars 3 puts the flashy, unpopular middle film squarely in its rear vision mirror. The route that the filmmakers take might be familiar, but after gunning it, they take the corners like pros. '' Soundtracks There are two soundtracks released for the third film. The original motion picture soundtrack features rock / pop songs featured in the film, while the original score soundtrack features the score composed and conducted by Randy Newman.
