"Watching The Fabulous Hudson Hornet, he inspired me to pursue a career in racing. Seeing how he took his turns and even a few bruises I just wanted a piece of that action. I wanted to know the thrill of the wind in my face, and the cheering of the crowd at the end of the finish line. So it's really Doc Hudson I have to thank for inspiring me. I was really sad that they gave up on him and he ended up disappearing. When he finally came out of hiding and I finally got the pleasure of meeting him, well that was like a childhood dream come true," the King spoke.

"Doc was a good friend to all of us. He cared about this little town and its inhabitants. No matter what the trouble was he was always willing to take some time to try and settle an argument. I speak for everyone here at Radiator Springs when I say he will be missed," Sheriff spoke.

"Before I met Doc, or anyone else here at Radiator Springs, I was a wretch. I only ever cared about winning. But because he opened my eyes and showed me how a car's true measure is the friends he has, I am now a better car because of him. I will miss his laugh and his patience. He was something of a secondary father figure to me," Lightning spoke. After they all said their piece, Fillmore played 'Carefree Highway' because he knew Doc enjoyed that song.
