She is voiced by Richard Petty's real-life wife, Lynda Petty. A 1974 Chrysler Town and Country station wagon, she is modeled after the car in which the Petty family used to go to Richard's races during the 1970s. During the races, she sits in a special VIP booth with Dinoco's sponsor, cheering for her husband
NASCAR.com is reporting that "Mrs. The King" is in good health and that the CNS * central nervous system * lymphoma that she has suffered from for several months has been eliminated. The KING has taken a step back from racing and has not been seen at the track since Daytona as his wife was being treated for her disease.
Lynda Petty has stayed out of the racing world after having been a "racing wife in a racing family" for years. She is immortalized as Mrs.The King in the movie, CARS.

I'm glad to hear she's doing better. How scary this must have been for her and her family.
