The Motor Speedway of the South is a racing stadium located in Motor City, United States. It is a location often used for Piston Cup races, and is where the Dinoco 400 was held during the 2005 season. In the 2016 season, the race was renamed the Dinoco Light 350 as the Dinoco 400 was moved to the Copper Canyon Speedway. Races may take place during either the day or night, and the track is surrounded by a plethora of lights so the track is lit during night races.

In Cars, the Motor Speedway of the South is the location of the 2005 Dinoco 400, the final race of that year's season. The race featured many highlights, including a large-scale accident involving thirty-one competitors, and two simultaneous tire blowouts from rookie Lightning McQueen. The most notable occurrence, however, was the first three-way tie in Piston Cup history, between McQueen, Strip Weathers and Chick Hicks.
In this appearance, the interior of the speedway contains a number of sponsor tents, such as one for Rust-eze. There is also a large grassy field where caravans can watch the race from, as well as a large pit row lining one of the track's straightaways. As the 2005 Dinoco 400 took place at night, the track was well-lit.
