"Lynda was a demolition derby queen and the toughest lady in her class - that is, until The King stole her heart with his gentlemanly charm. It wasn't long before she turned in her roll cage for a two-car garage in the country with her sweet 'Daddy Rabbit'."[1]
She says that no matter what happens, her husband is a winner to her. She supports her husband in racing, but can't wait until he retires so they can spend some time together as husband and wife.
When her husband gets hit by Chick Hicks at the end of the movie, Lightning McQueen pushes the King over the finish line so he can retire with pride. Mrs. The King kisses Lightning on the cheek, thanking him for helping her husband finish his racing career.
In the epilogue, she, her husband and Junior are seen touring Radiator Springs together. She asks to see and meet Doc Hudson, but Mater is unsure of his whereabouts at the present time - but assumes he is out racing, most likely with Lightning.
