He was once one of the most famous racecars in history; he won three Piston Cups, and still holds the record for most wins in a single season.

He kept a newspaper article on the career-ending crash as a reminder never to return to the life that nearly killed him. | |||

Jaded by 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 Doc's Clinic as a "doctor of internal combustion". As times changed and the town got bypassed in favor of Interstate 40, Doc stayed on, even when the population had dwindled to a meager dozen or so residents. He is respected, well-loved, and serves not only as the town's physician, but as its judge as well. However, nobody in the town had any idea of his past as a racer; he was just an ordinary Hudson Hornet to them. | Jaded by the racing scene, he left that world, apparently taking out time to study medicine.

==Bio== | |||
===Cars=== | |||
In [[Cars]], upon meeting Lightning McQueen, Doc saw far too much of his past in the rookie. He was less than happy when Lightning discovers his past. After Lightning finished fixing the road he damaged and decided to stay for a while, Doc was unable to bear having him around any longer and called the news and press to immediately take him away to the Piston Cup, declaring that it is best for everyone. But seeing how disheartened everyone was by his unplanned departure, Doc realized that Lightning had become more important to them than he thought. He eventually admits the truth to everyone about his Racecar days and he took back his old #51 colors to become Lightning's pit crew chief, bringing nearly the entire town 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. | |||
By the end of the film, Doc opted to keep his racing colors, and became a trainer as well as a friend to Lightning. Just like Lightning, Doc learned some lessons: friendship, promises, how greed affects others, and that secrets can't be kept forever. | By the end of the film, Doc opted to keep his racing colors, and became a trainer as well as a friend to Lightning.

===Cars: The Video Game=== | |||
In [[Cars: The Video Game]], Doc usually helped Lightning practice. His most notable lesson was when he taught him how to powerslide, also known as drifting, on dirt. In the video game, he appears at the cut-scenes for Doc's Lesson Powerslide and Doc's Challenge, where Lightning McQueen went to meet him in [[Willy's Butte]], but he was late. Then he tested Lightning at the Willy's Butte track, and he did good. Then they had a race. After the race, Doc said that the car that Lightning notices (who was [[Chick Hicks]]) was watching the competition, and that he will meet Lightning soon. He was confirmed as Lightning's chief at the [[Palm Mile Speedway]], when he confronted Chick for his obnoxious behavior and to stop bugging McQueen. | In [[Cars: The Video Game]], Doc usually helped Lightning practice.

He didn't appear again until later on in the story, in [[Doc's Check-Up]], when Lightning is brought in for a "check-up" around the town, a race against Doc and some of the other townsfolk, which Lightning easily wins. McQueen also told Doc that he liked the new upgrade he gave him. He later appeared at the cut-scene for [[Smasherville International Speedway]] where he told Lightning to save meeting Chick for the track. He told him that he will be fine. At [[Los Angeles International Speedway]], he was seen driving with Lightning when he was on his way on his trip. He told him to be careful. In the final cutscene, Doc was seen driving with Lightning, Mater and Sally, to celebrate the winning of Lightning's first Piston Cup. Along with his three trophies, Doc put it on display on the outer windowsill of his clinic, for the public to see. | |||
===Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures=== | |||
In [[Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures]], He appeared in the cut-scene of the Doc's Tune Up activity, which he asks McQueen to help out with his job. He also appeared as one of the characters to race against in Legends Races. | In [[Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures]], He appeared in the cut-scene of the Doc's Tune Up activity, which he asks McQueen to help out with his job.

Doc | ===Mater and the Ghostlight=== | ||
In [[Mater and the Ghostlight]], Doc scared [[Mater]] into believing in a monster called the [[Screamin' Banshee]], which actually ended up existing. | |||
===Cars: Mater-National Championship=== | |||
In [[Cars: Mater-National Championship]], Doc plays a minor role in the story at the very beginning, when he tells Lightning, [[Philip]] and [[Fred]] to get off the main road. After being recognized, he is given the offer to join the race. He also appears during the stadium races, and in Fillmore's Fuel Frenzy, where he competes with Lightning, Mater and Fred. | |||
===Cars: Race-O-Rama=== | |||
In [[Cars: Race-O-Rama]], Doc Hudson now owns [[Doc Hudson Racing Academy|his own racing academy]], who races in the Race-O-Rama. In the game, he's kind of your instructor. During several races, he might say something to you sounding like it's coming from a headset. He also appears in most of the races. In Transporter 1, you had to bring something to him. In the final scene, he says to Lightning that he did a good job winning the Race-O-Rama. | |||

When Lightning was showing Mater his new Piston Cup, they were talking about him. Also, during the race in [[Tokyo]], [[Darrell Cartrip]] mentioned that McQueen's mentor, the Hudson Hornet, was one of the best dirt track racers in history. In the scene when Lightning was about to take the dirt turn at the race in Tokyo, Japan, Mater told Lightning to do what Doc has taught him, which he did and took the lead. | When Lightning was showing Mater his new Piston Cup, they were talking about him.

Doc has always been grumpy, ever since he was kicked out of the racing league.
