Please subscribe to our videos, this re-enactment is when Lightning McQueen actually discovers that his enemy "Doc Hudson" is actually a racing legend, none other than the Incredible 1951 Hudson Hornet...champion for all time. <br /><br /> Remember, Doc was once known as the Fabulous Hudson Hornet (#51), one of the most famous race cars to have ever lived; he won three Piston Cups, and he still held the record for most wins in a single season (27, also the number of NASCAR Grand National races won by Hudson Hornets in 1952.[3]) All that changed for the famous Hornet when a terrible crash on the track during the final lap of the 1954 Piston Cup championship race saw him put out for the season in a career-ending injury which closely parallels the fate of Herb Thomas, NASCAR's 1951 and 1953 champion. <br /> Upon his return, he was received with a complete absence of fanfare and told that he was a has-been who had been passed up for the next rookie in line. He kept a newspaper article on the career-ending crash as a reminder never to return to the life that nearly killed him. <br />Upon meeting the rookie hotshot Lightning McQueen, Doc sees far too much of the past he'd left behind. His one token attempt to explain a controlled skid on an abrupt turn in dirt-track racing to Lightning is met with misunderstanding and scepticism, leaving Doc disillusioned and bitter about the young hot rod who seems to care only about himself. <br />I hope you like this video, please subscribe and leave a thumbs up and any comment, for some reason one or 2 always leave a thumbs down...thanks for watching and have a great day.
