1954 Piston Cup Season

The 1954 Season is an infamous season because Doc Hudson had a career ending crash at fireball beach this season. He was side swiped by Sammy Studbreaker on the last lap and Doc somehow managed to save his move until the last lap where a punctured tire from Sammy sideswiping him made him loose control and ended his career. Because of how bad it was a lot of racers except Sammy felt bad for Doc having his crash, even Leroy Hemming felt bad for him aswell. Some of them retired later on while others choose to stay. Leroy Hemming won the Piston Cup.
