In the third year of competition, Hudson was the second marque of a championship driver in NASCAR's top-level series, the series that would eventually become Sprint Cup (Oldsmobile was the winner's car the first two seasons).  The Hudson Hornet dominated three years of NASCAR Grand National racing, a series of accomplishments that was depicted by the Doc Hudson character in the animated movie Cars.
