Cars 3 may be coming to your city as part of the Road to the Races tour!

The full list of participating cities and dates can be found on CARS3tour.com. The tour’s finale in California will take place at the Sonoma Raceway from June 24th-June 25th.
There are plenty of incredible events to look forward to, including a Science Behind NASCAR Racing presentation (which coincides quite nicely with The Science Behind Pixar!) and an opportunity to learn more through the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
