Strip Weathers is a Piston Cup champion who has seen it all. From his humble beginnings on the Piston Cup circuit, to the glitzy sponsorship and media attention he has today, this seven time Piston Cup Champion is the winningest racecar in all of Piston Cup history. After a spectacular crash, The King looked pretty beat up, but rest assured he was back on his tires in no time flat! When you've been racing and crashing as long as he has, you can handle a few scrapes and dents. He's loved every second of his racing career, but truth be told, The King is ready for a slower pace. He's looking forward to more time with his queen, Mrs. The King.
Bio
In Cars, The King is one of the three finalists to the tiebreaker race in California. After the race in Motor City, he gave Lightning advice on how to be a caring car. At the race in Los Angeles, The King led for most of the time until Lightning sped out from the pits and ahead of the pace car. After getting frustrated that he wasn't going to win, Chick hit him and sent him flying through the air through the infield. Lightning helped him make it to the finish line, much to everyone's amazement.
In Cars: The Video Game, The King returns as a playable character. While retired, he is still an unlockable character for Piston Cup racing. As a result, some of Darrell Cartrip's commentary lines include "It sure is nice to have Weathers back on the track!"
Personality
The King is kind and caring about others, much unlike Lightning McQueen.
Livery
The King is painted Dinoco Blue, with the Dinoco sponsor and number "43". On his trunk, he has a giant, tall blue spoiler.
Model
Strip is based off of a 1970 Richard Petty Road Runner Plymouth Superbird, the same model Richard Petty drove. Apart from the spoiler and paint, the cars are exactly the same.
Occupation
The King was a seven-time Piston Cup champion, before retiring.
