In the early days of the Piston Cup Racing Series, Doc, then known as the Fabulous Hudson Hornet, was a rather popular dirt track racer. He was considered one of the best racers of the time, receiving the title, ''The Champion of All Time''. On the track, Doc befriended many of his competitors, such as [[Mario Andretti]], [[Junior Moon]], [[River Scott]], and [[Louise Nash]]. In addition to being a talented race car, Doc was also good at making repairs to other cars, and once helped his friend [[Gus O'Line]] when he was having trouble with his semi-axis. Doc was also great friends with a mechanic named [[Smokey]], who acted as a teacher to Doc. | In the early days of the Piston Cup Racing Series, Doc, then known as the Fabulous Hudson Hornet, was a rather popular dirt track racer.
