Official Description(s)

"Doc Hudson was a motorcar of few words but many talents. He not only served as the town judge, he was also Radiator Springs' resident doctor. Medico was respected and admired by the town's folk for the way he looks out for their health and tends to their aches and pains. No one knows too much about Doc before he came to town. He kept his private life private. Only if you've got a bad spark plug or a rattle in your engine, his door was always open."^[1]

"Hud started racing in the Piston Cup serial back in 1951, when tracks were dirt, and cars were tough. No trailers, no pitties, simply heavy-duty motors and strong chassis battling it out for a few bucks and a big cup. His low center of gravity, and agile cornering ability were incommunicable to beat and many of his fellow racers hit the hay bales trying to hold the line alongside him."^[one]

"Doc's racing days ended when he arrived in Radiator Springs. But with Lightning McQueen in boondocks he tin can't assist trying on those erstwhile racing tires to run into if he's still got it."^[1]

Cars

Doc outside his clinic in Radiator Springs

He was once one of the most famous race cars in history; he won three Piston Cups, and still holds the record for the most wins in a single season. Withal, information technology all changed for Doc when he was involved in a terrible crash during the final lap of the 1954 Piston Cup championship race, which saw him put out for the next full season. Upon his render, he was received with a consummate absence of fanfare and told that he was a has-been who had been passed upwardly for the adjacent rookie in line. He reluctantly resigned from the sport, and vanished from public. He eventually settled in a forgotten town chosen Radiator Springs and moved into a house in the overnice town. In his house he kept a newspaper article on the career-ending crash equally a reminder never to return to the life that virtually killed him; the life that has been unfairly taken abroad from him; the life that was no longer his.

Doc returns to the globe of racing as McQueen's pit stop chief

Jaded past the racing scene, he left that world, apparently taking out time to study medicine. The famous #51 disappeared into obscurity, leaving many wondering where he had gone. He instead opted for a simple navy blue paint job and the life of a physician in the tiny town of Radiator Springs, the "shining Gemstone" of the Mother Road - Route 66. He runs the Ornamentation Valley Mechanical Dispensary every bit a "Dr. of Internal Combustion". Equally times changed and the boondocks got bypassed in favor of Interstate 40, Md stayed on, even when the population had dwindled to a meager dozen or and then residents. He is respected, well-loved, and serves non just every bit the town's physician, but as its judge as well. However, nobody in the town had any idea of his past every bit a racer; he was just an ordinary Hudson Hornet to them.

Doc becomes Lightning McQueen'southward mentor

Upon meeting Lightning McQueen, who had accidentally destroyed the main road in town, Doc saw far also much of his past in the rookie. He wanted to send the racecar out of town but Sally persuaded him to commit Lightning to community service by paving a new route. Only afterwards an hour, the rookie attempted to chop-chop end the job, only to practise it sloppily. Medico ordered him to tear upward the road and redo it. Nonetheless, he challenged Lightning to a one-lap race effectually Willy's Butte if he wanted his freedom. He anticipated that the race motorcar who was as well used to asphalt would non do well on the dirt track and lose command on the final plough right into a cactus patch. As he prepared to go to sleep, Md watched with smugness as Lightning miserably began to work overnight.

The side by side mean solar day, everyone wakes upwards to find that Lightning had paved a good road up to the intersection, at least half of the job; Emerge commented that Doc should accept thrown the rookie into a cactus patch a lot sooner. Doc then plant Sheriff watching Lightning attempting to make the last plow around Willy's Butte, having ran out of asphalt in the middle of the night. Dr. volunteers to take over watching Lightning and attempts to give him advice on how to make the turn. However, Lightning failed to understand it and rudely collection off to effort the course once more, so Doc let him be.

On the third solar day, Physician was operating on Sheriff when Lightning rudely flare-up into his role, wanting to inquire for his daily gas ration. Medico ordered him to wait by Flo's V8 Buffet. Shortly after, he finds Lightning in his garage, having discovered his identity every bit the Hudson Hornet. He was less than happy when Lightning discovers his past. Md refused to speak of his by and called his trophies "just empty cups". Later in the day, Doc put on his race tires to take a lap around Willy's Butte and successfully fabricated the turn. Just when he realized that Lightning was spying on him, he promptly drove dorsum to his home. Lightning followed him and asked why he gave up on beingness a large racer. Doc related his crash in '54 and how the sport rejected him after he recovered which made him cynical and vow to never race again. When Lightning insisted that he is not like the cars who rejected him, Physician wanted to know if he had ever cared almost anyone as well himself. When Lightning couldn't answer that question, Doc tells him that the Radiator Springs residents look out for each other and he does non want them reliant on a selfish auto like him. Lightning then retorted that Doc is no ameliorate than him, by not opening virtually his past to his friends. Instead of countering, Physician angrily tells him to finish the road and go out boondocks.

On the fourth day, Lightning had finished fixing the route and decided to stay for a while, Dr. was unable to comport having him around any longer and called the news and press to immediately accept him abroad to the Piston Loving cup tiebreaker race, declaring that information technology is all-time for everyone. Just seeing how disheartened everyone was by his unplanned divergence when Emerge calls him out on his selfishness, Physician realized that Lightning had go more than important to them than he thought. He eventually reveals to everyone his racecar days and he took back his former #51 colors to get Lightning'due south pit crew master, bringing most the entire boondocks (except Sally, Ruddy, and Lizzie -- who watched the race on Telly) to the Piston Cup to support Lightning as his pit crew (and in an ironic twist of fate, finally received that long awaited fanfare for his return). When Chick Hicks caused Strip "The Male monarch" Weathers to crash, in a similar way to Doc himself, Lightning chose to forfeit the race to help the King cross the end line. Md then expressed how proud he is of Lightning.

By the cease of the film, Doc opts to keep his paint scheme, and becomes a trainer as well as a friend to Lightning. Just like Lightning, Physician learned some lessons: friendship, promises, how greed affects others, and that secrets cannot exist kept forever.
