  • Marshall Teague was an American race car driver. He was nicknamed by NASCAR fans as the "King of the Beach" for his performances at the Daytona Beach Road Course. He walked into fellow Daytona Beach resident Smokey Yunick's "Best Damned Garage in Town", and launched Yunick's legendary NASCAR mechanic career. Teague competed in 23 NASCAR Grand National races from 1949 to 1952 winning seven of them. Teague approached Hudson by traveling to Michigan and visiting the plant without an appointment: by the end of the visit Hudson virtually assured Teague of corporate support and cars: the relationship was formalized shortly after the visit. During the 1951 and 1952 seasons Teague was a member of the Hudson Motors team and driving what he called the Fabulous Hudson Hornet. Teague was also instrumental in helping Hudson tune the I6 powered Hudson Hornet to its maximum stock capability. When combined with the cars light weight and low center of gravity, the Hornet allowed Teague and the other Hudson drivers to dominate stock car racing from 1951 through 1954, consistently beating out other drivers in cars powered by larger, more modern engines. Yunick and Teague won 27 of 34 events in major stock car events . He was also the inspiration for Doc Hudson in the film Cars. However, he left NASCAR in 1953 following a dispute with NASCAR founder William France Sr. and went to the AAA and USAC.

Lisäksi hän oli kolmesti paalulla ja ajoi 11 kertaa kymmenen parhaan joukkoon. Hänet tunnettiin lempinimellä "rantojen kuningas" ajoistaan Daytona Beach Road Course kilpailuissa. Vuosina 1951–1952 Teague oli Hudson Motorsin jäsen ja Fabulous Hudson Hornetin ajaja. Hän kilpaili myös stock car -sarjassa vuosina 1951–1954 ja voitti 27 tapahtumaa ja kaksi mestaruutta.

  • Marshall Teague var en amerikansk racerfører. Han konkurrerte først i NASCAR, og senere som Formel 1-fører i Indianapolis 500. Han fikk tilnavnet «Kongen av stranda» (en. «King of the Beach») for sine resultater på banen i Daytona Beach. Teague konkurrerte i 23 NASCAR Grand National-løp fra 1949 til 1952, og vant syv av dem. Teague kom i kontakt med bilfabrikken Hudson ved å reise til Michigan og besøke fabrikken uten noen avtale, og ved slutten av besøket forsikret Hudson ham om at de ville stille med sponsing og biler. Kort tid etter besøket ble avtalen formalisert. I sesongene 1951 og 1952 kjørte Teague for Hudson Motor Cars-teamet, og kjørte det han kalte Fabulous Hudson Hornet. Teague hjalp også til med å sette opp den rekkemotoriserte Hudson Hornet slik at den hadde maksimale ytelser. Kombinert med dens lette vekt og lave tyngepunkt sørget Hornet for at Teague og de andre Hudson-førerne dominerte sporten fra 1951 til 1954, og kjørte konsekvent bedre rundetider enn førere med større og mer moderne motorer. I 1953 forlot Teague NASCAR etter en uenighet med NASCAR-stifteren William France Senior, og begynte å konkurrere i Formel 1 i stedet. Han deltok i 2 løp, men fikk 0 poeng. Teague døde under et forsøk på en fartsrekord på den nyåpnede Daytona International Speedway den 11. februar 1959, elleve dager før det første Daytona 500-løpet.
