## History

### Racing Days (1951-1954)

Doc made his debut in the Piston Cup in 1951 at the age of 20. Doc took the Piston Cup by storm winning 13 races and the championship just on his rookie year! 1952 would be his best year as he won 27 races which still stands as most wins in an entire season and won another championship, Doc also did a famous flip over Leroy Heming at the 1952 Thomasville 400 Doc did great in 1953, winning 22 races and won his third Piston Cup. He was bound to win his 4th Piston Cup in 1954 since he won 16 races that year, but however, he suffered a bad crash at the Fireball Beach race and because of this, Leroy Heming won the Piston Cup.

### Moving on from racing (1955-1969)

*"There was a lot left in me, I never got a chance to show 'em. I keep that to remind me never to go back. I just never expected that that world would...would find me here."*
―Doc Hudson explaining the end of his career to **Lightning McQueen**
When Doc was fully repaired, he came back excepting a big welcome, but his team had replaced him, his team told him that he was history, sadden by these words, Doc decided to leave his racing days behind him, through out these years, Doc tried to blend into other cities, but people kept recognizing him, Doc was getting tired of being reminded of his racing days, so he decided to head out west on Route 66 where he wouldn't be as recognized.

### Hiding in Radiator Springs (1970-2004)

One day on Route 66, Doc discovered a broken red car by the name of Phillip, Doc knew how to repair his engine so he did and Phillip lead him to a town called Radiator Springs, upon his arrival, Doc became the Doctor and the Judge and gained the respect of the Radiator Springs townies, when Interstate 40 was built, despite the rest of the townfolks being sad, Doc was a little happy since he would have more quiet. Doc lived a peaceful quiet life in Radiator Springs for a very long time, none of the Radiator Springs townsfolks knew he was famous, They all thought he was just a normal Hudson Hornet.

### Meeting Lightning McQueen (2005)

In 2005, Lightning McQueen got lost and accidentally destroyed the road, when he spotted McQueen in court, Doc immediately wanted him out, but Sally's words convinced him to have him fix the road, one day when McQueen went into his garage, he discovered his past and his cups. Doc caught him and wasn't happy with this. McQueen then told the other Townsfolk, but none of them believed him. Later that day, McQueen discovered him at Willies Bute, where he finally raced after almost 50 years, however, when McQueen praised him, Doc drove away from him, McQueen caught him in his garage and Doc finally told him why he left racing, after he did, he wanted to him to finish the road and get out of his town.

The next day, McQueen decided to stay a little longer in Radiator Springs, Doc was very mad at this and decided to call the RSN Press to get McQueen. That night the press took McQueen to the tie breaker race. Sally spotted Doc talking to Kori and Sally was furious at Doc for his actions against McQueen, the rest of townsfolks where hurt as well. Realizing his actions Doc finally revealed to the townfolks that he was famous and went to the tie breaker race to become McQueen's Crew Chief. Once the press spotted him, the whole Los Angeles stadium cheered for him.
